I'm dressing up as a super-villain.

I'm going to a party this weekend, where you have to dress up as a super-hero.
Naturally I would've gone for Batman - but the hostes for the party said "I'm gonna dress up as Batman, so no one else is allowed to dress up as him!"

Instead I'm thinking of dressing up as a villain.

But who?

I really wanna go as a Batman-villain - but I have long hair (really long) and big-ass sideburns (like Wolverine).
I am also a tad skinny.

Scarecrow seems like a good choice: I can hide my face/hair under a mask (bag, whatever).
Batman Begins Scarecrow: a ragged suit (but wasn't he wearing a straight jacket?) and the bag-mask. Pow, you're done. But how do I construct the mask?
Comic Scarecrow: ragged brown clothes and a stupid hat. Pow, you're done. I have a feeling the stupid hat is harder to get/make, than the bag-mask for the Begins-version.

Oh well... does anyone have any tips for a Scarecrow outfit - or is there any other villain (or hero, if everything else fails) that I could go as that would fit me and my physical appearance (or that would hide it*)?

* I can't really create a Magneto-suit or something like that. I am not a genius

Scarecrow mask - get one of those sacks potatoes come in and hack it up. You can cheat by hacking off a diagonal half of it so you have one full corner to stick your head it, and then just scar up/unpick the threads of the rest of it, instead of actually ripping it up and sewing it back together.
But you'd need something inside it so it doesn't itch and scratch you - soft lining. And put lots of small air holes in it. It should sit alright on your head, but some loose cord or string around the neck bit would help. Plus an old suit.

Two Face would be awesome but maybe a bit tricky.

Fu Manchu/Mandarin or Ra's al Ghul would suit long hair and sidies and skinnyness - just need a robe and some fake facial hair and like a sword or something for Ra's.

Whoever goes as J. Jonah Jameson wins.

FU MANCHU!

Don't forget the really long fake nails, it's part of the character.

actually i have just realised that in Sewden this would for most of the population involve 'dressing up' in the manner of a 'comedian' in a North East Working Men's club.

so maybe not.

Go as Joker just to show him up.

You'll need to dye your hair green, some of that zinc oxide sunblock, maybe bum the lipstick off your girlfriend...

Whatever you go as, Ob, there must be pictures.

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 3:33 pm

Yes, pictures there will be!

I'm leaning towards Scarecrow at the moment.
It might get ******* hot under that straight jacket and hood though.

Is that Lizard behind him from a What If..? world where Homer Simpson uses reptilian dna to regrow a lost limb?

If I can't get the Scarecrow-thing to work I'm gonna go as Prince Adam!
It's perfect!

The fake rock on your foot's gonna be a bit difficult to reproduce, isn't it?

Haha. I have just made a bondage mask!
This is awesome.

"Dude, why are you dressed as a bondage guy?"

"Hey, I'm the Scarecrow you ******".
