Batman and Robin
-
The modern Batman movies have been in production since the 1980s, but Hollywood didn't bring Robin into the mix until 1997, when George Clooney played Batman and Chris O'Donnel acted as Robin. The movie garnered criticism largely as the worst Batman movie ever made. In the 1960s, the "Batman" TV series featured Robin, played by Burt Ward, and Batman, played by Adam West. You and a friend could fashion this duo into a costume at home, though many costume stores carry the dynamic duo. If you make the costumes at home, you will need a black rubber suit with a black cape. Robin wears a red rubber suit with a red cape.
