New York Comic Con is always a big highlight for CC fans, and this year, DC Official really honored their community by featuring some of their favorite hero and villain cosplays on their Instagram page, including one impressive group cosplay. But the question is: which featured look is your favorite? Screen Rant has your top pick – do you agree?
DC fans went all out this year at NYCC 2024, with costumes, special effects makeup, and accurate character depictions that showcased their dedication and creativity. Notably, DC Official recognized these talented artists and cosplayers by featuring them on their Instagram page in a reel highlighting 11 iconic looks, alongside a huge gathering of DC cosplayers behind a banner labeled “DC Cosplayers East.”
If you’re curious about the exact number of cosplayers in this epic group photo, feel free to count – but know that it’s an impressive array, featuring a wide range of characters, from Superman to Starfire.
DC Highlights Its Favorite Villain and Hero Cosplays from NYCC 2024
From Batman to the Joker to Harley Quinn and more!
Among the cosplays chosen by DC were the impressive portrayal of Critical Mask from The Batman Who Laughs and Seth Haslip’s armored Batman Beyond. These two cosplayers were specifically tagged in the post, while others chimed in in the comments, including Crimson Creep, who reclaimed the classic Harley Quinn with her signature pop gun. DC’s spotlight has also included Superman, Supergirl, Joker and Nightwing, along with a wide variety of other fan-favorite characters showcased in the group’s massive 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’s cosplay particularly epic was the variety of different takes on the same character. For example, nearly a dozen versions of Harley Quinn have appeared, from a pastel pink and blue Harley to a classic comic book version, a Suicide Squad movie style, a gender-bent adaptation, and more. This pattern continued with characters like Superman, Batman, and Supergirl, each portrayed in unique styles that highlighted the creativity and individuality of cosplay. DC Legend, “Y’all sucked it up #NYCC,” perfectly summed up the energy and excitement of this fan-driven celebration of art and fandom.
Critical Mask’s Batman Who Laughs cosplay was a real showstopper
Critical Mask also showed off his cosplay at the 51st Annual New York City Halloween Parade
While all of the cosplays featured in this post are impressive, this particular Screen Rant writer’s favorite is, without a doubt, Critical Mask. Her Batman Who Laughs cosplay is a masterclass in costumes, prosthetics and special effects makeup, with a look that looks like it’s straight out of the comic book pages. What really makes this cosplay a standout, however, is how perfectly he embodies the character. Critical Mask doesn’t just use fantasy; he completely channels the Batman Who Laughs personality, making his portrait one of the most memorable of A.D NYCC Instagram post.
