    Bane: he’s a supervillain, but much worse than that: he’s politcally incorrect.

    I’m reminded of the Native American friend who doesn’t always want to be your Tonto on Halloween.

    How about Davros from vintage Doctor Who?

      Davros was in a few episodes with Tennant’s Doctor, too.

    You can always go as Ironsides! Or Ironside… or whatever he’s called… IT WAS BEFORE MY TIME, OKAY?!

      You have obviously missed the ads for the remake, coming soon. That said, I don’t know which it is either, and I’ve seen the ads. Not memorable.

      Or Arnold Sideways, one of the Ankh-Morpork beggars. And the Duck Man would be an easy companion costume.

    That Bane idea is actually really good. Almost makes me wish I had a wheelchair. And didn’t hate Bane.

    But nah, I’m good for costumes. This year’s is taking 2 months to construct. Excitement. = )

    You could always go as Lt. Dan.

    It could also be a fun drinking game. Anytime someone says “Lee-u-ten-ant Dan!”, you take a shot.

    It’s not as bad as you think. A little inventiveness goes a long way: http://www.chezplj.ca/?p=49

        I didn’t know about that one. The ones I posted are all Dr. David Suzuki’s grandson.

    Davros is a good idea… I’ve actually seen someone go as Doctor Strangelove… that was really good!

    If you’re female, you could go as Batgirl. She gets paralysed and forced into a wheelchair and becomes Oracle.

    (Awesome comic, loving Bane!)

    At a convention once, I saw a guy who dressed as Optimus Prime in truck mode.

    He wore a hat with an Autobots symbol and had a shirt/pants combo that looked like the truck. He even had the trailer attached behind him. Pretty damn clever.

    Aww, you went for the lame Bane costume. I wanted to see a bug in a luchador mask.

      Yeah, I never liked what they did with bane in the new one, nothing about this one was memorable, except the voice. Did any one else read it in that voice in their heads too?

    I was stuck in a wheelchair a few years ago for Halloween; I put a white sheet over me and the chair and called myself an iceberg. I amused myself at least. 🙂

    I once saw a kid in a wheelchair decorated as a full blown ice cream truck. It was awesome.

    Three words: Cutter … John … Enterpoop.

    Unfortunately, that’s only one costume. But, hey, I did my part.

    As a man in a wheelchair, I find this both hilarious and true.
