DC Spotlights Their Favorite Villain and Hero Cosplays From NYCC 2024

From Batman to Joker to Harley Quinn and More!

Among the cosplays singled out by DC were Critical Mask’s impressive portrayal of The Batman Who Laughs and Seth Haslip’s armored Batman Beyond. These two cosplayers were specifically tagged in the post, while others sounded off in the comments, including Crimson Creep, who claimed the classic Harley Quinn with her signature pop gun. DC’s spotlight also included Superman, Supergirl, Joker, and Nightwing, along with a huge array of other fan-favorite characters showcased in the massive group cosplay. Among those featured were Raven, Aquaman, Two-Face, Catwoman, Zatanna, Poison Ivy, Riddler, Deadshot, Robin, Lex Luthor, The Question, and many more.

What made the group cosplay particularly epic was the variety of different interpretations of the same character. For instance, nearly a dozen versions of Harley Quinn appeared, from a pastel pink and blue Harley to a classic comic version, a Suicide Squad movie style, a gender-bent adaptation, and more. This pattern continued with characters like Superman, Batman, and Supergirl, each depicted in unique styles that highlighted the creativity and individuality within cosplay. DC’s caption, “Y’all ate this up 😤 #NYCC,” perfectly summed up the energy and excitement of this fan-driven celebration of art and fandom.

While all the cosplays featured in this post are beyond impressive, this particular Screen Rant writer's favorite is undoubtedly Critical Mask. His Batman Who Laughs cosplay is a masterclass in costume design, prosthetics, and special effects makeup, with a look that seems to have leapt straight out of the comic book pages. What truly makes this cosplay a standout, however, is how perfectly he embodies the character. Critical Mask doesn’t just wear the costume; he fully channels the Batman Who Laughs’ personality, making his portrayal one of the most memorable in DC's NYCC Instagram post.
