The worst superhero costume is The Phantom's costume in the Billy Zane movie.
The Big Picture In this current period of superhero movie fatigue, with many praying for a few months without yet another comic-based epic, we can almost forget what a long, long road it was to the cinematic environment we're in today. This can be reflected in the superheroes' costumes.
The Phantom The Phantom, descendent of a line of African superheroes, travels to New York City to thwart a wealthy criminal genius from obtaining three magic skulls which would give him the secret to ultimate power. He's proto-Batman , falling into every problematic pitfall of the lost world narrative. Nevertheless, he got a movie, with other pulp comics The Shadow and The Rocketeer having their turns on screen in the same decade. All three of these movies failed to get initial success and are now at best cult classics.
There's just not a lot to it. It's purple and it's pretty bland. And, having an elusive character who wears a mask and cowl but not gloves to hide his fingerprints is bizarre. This is fine, though, or it should be fine. After all, this character has existed for over 80 years now. Every superhero with such a long lifespan tends to have their costumes altered, either lightly or heavily as the years drag on.
