This is a general comparison of costumes in films

1. Mise-en-scene: Costumes
Costumes are an important part of the mise-en-scene element as it is used to convey a character’s
personality or status, and to signify these differences between characters in movies or TV-shows.
Costume is also important because it signifies the era in which a film is set and advertising that era’s
fashions.
The Batman costume compared to Superman’s is totally different as shown below:
The big difference between these suits is the colour, the Batsuit is black which connotes the hidden, the
secretive and the unknown, and as a result it creates an air of mystery around Batman. The Batsuit has
also lots of protective materials and small weapons, this shows the audience that Batman has no super
powers like Superman so he uses tech weapons and pure human strength. The director or creator of
Batman did a great job in creating this costume as it tells you about Bruce Wayne’s personality.
On the other hand, Superman’s suit gives you the opposite of the Batsuit. The suits colour is blue, it is
one of trust, honesty and loyalty. The psychology behind this colour is that it reliable and responsible,
comparing this to the Batsuit you can say that Superman in films is loved by the people and has a
greater responsibility than Batman. The colour red on the suit signifies spirit and leadership, while the
Batsuit doesn’t give that feeling of leadership or a responsible person. A different comparison is that
Superman doesn’t have protective gears as the Batsuit, which can tell us that Superman has kind of
superpowers so that’s why he doesn’t need to protect himself as Batman does.
