Batman Fans are in for a real treat with one of the most ambitious Heroes vs. Heroes group cosplays. Gotham villains already created. Filled with a vast array of iconic characters, this cosplay is more than impressive in scale – it’s elevated by incredibly elaborate costumes and top-notch editing, making it an unforgettable tribute to Gotham’s heroes and bad guys.
Hush and Bane cosplayer Brad Johnson (Image: Disclosure)@Bradman.cosplay) recently shared on Instagram what he proudly calls “epic poster of your favorite Gotham heroes and villains!”– and he’s not exaggerating. This 15-person masterclass on creation and fan appreciation features familiar faces from the DC Batfam cosplay community, including some cosplayers previously highlighted for their solo work on Screen Rant, like cosplayer Catwoman Dahj (@Amaliaaacat).
Participants in this impressive group cosplay include @p0ison_ as Poison Ivy, @The_buff_nerd7605 as Deathstroke, @Raymondweijland as Robin@Kapture_realm as Red Hood, @Futuristik.cosplay as Batwoman, @Impostercosplayy as Mr. Freeze and Two-Face, @seriusjoker as Joker, @SinCityDarkKnight as Batman, @ChaoticClownPrincess as Harley Quinn, @American_ren as Nightwing, and @Plaguejestermichaels as O Charade.

This is easily one of the most impressive casts of characters to be featured in a single Gotham-centric group cosplay, featuring five core members of the Bat-Family facing off against ten of their most notorious rogues. While much of the magic of this cosplay comes from the cosplayers themselves—that bring your chosen characters to life with killer high-quality costumes and flawless expressions that capture each personality—I’d be remiss not to acknowledge @Pixelens._’s editing prowess. His skill has taken this cosplay group to new heights, combining all the cosplayers into a single, expertly rendered poster that brings them all together brilliantly.
Johnson further elevated the impact of this group cosplay by including one of Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s most iconic Batman lines. Batman: Year One (1987): “Ladies. Gentlemen. You ate well. You ate Gotham’s wealth. Its spirit. Your party is almost over. As of this moment… none of you are safe.” This powerful quote, combined with the group’s impressive cosplay, underscores Batman’s journey from a lone vigilante attacking Gotham’s corruption to leading a crime-fighting family against a vibrant rogues gallery. It will be exciting to see if these cosplayers and @Pixelens._ team up again for more epic group cosplays in the future.
Cosplayer Shows Off Chilling Hush Cosplay, Proving Thomas Elliot Deserves a Live-Action Debut
Thomas “Silence” Elliot first appeared in Batman #609 (2003) as part of the twelve-issue storyline Batman: Calm down
Although Brad Johnson has portrayed both Bane and Hush, his Hush cosplay is particularly notable given that the character is rarely seen in fandom cosplay and that Thomas Elliot has yet to make his live-action debut in the DCU. Johnson’s chilling portrayal makes a strong case for Elliot getting his big screen moment, and with Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee BAtman: Silence comic getting a sequel, this possibility becomes even more intriguing. Whether or not a live-action adaptation is on the horizon, fans can at least enjoy Hush’s role in this epic. Batman and cosplay from the group Family vs. Gotham Rogues.
