Nightwing, otherwise known as Dick Grayson, is a DC superhero commonly associated with franchises like Batman, the Teen Titans and the Justice League. The comic book character has become increasingly popular over the years, mostly due to his relatability. Unlike most superheroes, he doesn’t have superpowers. He’s just a regular witty guy who happens to fight crime. If you idolize the character just as much as we do, you can shop the costume just in time for Halloween on Amazon. This Nightwing costume retails for $42.99 and is a simple spandex zip-up jumpsuit. Sizing depends on height.
Silent Hill 2 is a cultural phenomenon, and so are the game’s Nurses. In fact, they also appear in the film adaptations. Whether you’re a fan of the films or a game-only enjoyer, this Nurse costume from Etsy is a great way to show your love wherever you stand. The costume is hand-made and currently retails for $140. Sizing ranges from XXS to 2X. Unfortunately, this costume doesn’t come with all the bells and whistles of the SH2 nurse, a la her pipe, knife, stockings, hat and pumps, so you’ll have to get creative to complete the look. It is worth noting that there isn’t a market for an official costume, so finding one in this quality at this price is pretty rare.
