The Best Batman Costumes For Kids: A Collection You Won’t Believe For Boys, Girls, Toddlers and Infants!
A
ny Batman fans in the house? Thanks for popping by today for a fun look at Batman Costumes for Kids!
Batman is a fun show – I grew up watching the cartoons on TV with my brothers and that theme song phrase is stuck deep in my head – I’ll never forget it. You know which one I mean? When I hear the “na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na…” played, I can’t help but sing out “Batmannnnn!!” You too? 😉
And now are YOUR OWN KIDS getting into Batman? (Or maybe, just maybe… you’re imposing your – or your husband’s – love of Batman a wee bit, down to your child? No… that can’t be LOL. 😉 ). Either way, Superhero dress up is a blast, and Batman is easily one of the most recognisable superheroes.
One of the tricky parts about doing a page on Batman costumes for kids is that there are so many different outfits due to the various movies, cartoons, and theme shows each having their own unique styling. Each of the movies has him looking slighting different… likely to sell more costumes, am-I-right? 😉
Thankfully the signature bat logo, cape, and mask are easily recognisable – if you get those right, for the most part kids don’t really know or care about the fine details. You’ll get a few fanatics, for sure, but honestly, if it’s a cool “Batman” costume, they’ll wear it with pride and do their best to save Gotham – and the world – in it.
So. I’ve done some research for you online here and have selected, based on the reviews, the two top (or at least extremely popular) Batman costumes for kids in each of the following categories: Boys, Girls, Toddler and Infant, and Accessories. Enjoy!

Batman Dark Knight Rises Child’s Deluxe Muscle Chest Costume with Mask
Does your little guy have a dream of being Batman? This is one pretty cool costume, at a crazy good price. If he dreams of saving Gotham, he’ll be dressed for the part, looking strong and serious about fighting crime, that’s for sure.
This deluxe Batman costume, from the Dark Knight Rises, includes a Muscle Chest jumpsuit with attached boot tops, headpiece, cape and belt.
It received a 4.5/5 star rating from over 2700 reviewers on Amazon.com!
Batman “The Brave & The Bold” Boys Costume
Included: printed jumpsuit, PVC mask, and detachable cape.
I chose this one for a few reasons: The 4.4/5 star rating (from over 1,350 reviewers at Amazon.com) and comments show that it’s a great choice for role playing and dress up. It’s light weight enough to wear over clothing and it’s easy for kids to put on and off by themselves. Also, it won’t break the bank. 🙂
If your son wants a Blue Batman suit like on the TV show, consider this one!
GIRLS Batman Costumes
Super DC Heroes Batgirl Costume.
This one looks amazing, isn’t it? Talk about one stylish Batgirl! This costume is styled after the classic Batman – kids everywhere will recognise the yellow on black. This costume includes the dress with attached cape, boot tops, gauntlets, mask and belt. And… it’s also available in Pink & Silver!
According to over 260 reviewers at Amazon.com, who give it an average 4.5/5 stars:
- Head’s up! It fits small – definitely order a size up.
- NOT your average “wear once” quality – dress is made from a thicker and sturdy shiny plastic. Many reviewers claimed that it held up well through multiple Halloween parties and trick-or-treating. = Lots of use for dress up play!
- If wearing for outside play, adding black leggings and a black turtleneck/long-sleeve shirt is an easy solution for the chill.
Justice League Child’s Batgirl Tutu Dress.
This Batgirl costume appeals to the Superheroine and Princess-lover alike with the pretty/shimmery tutu skirt, the sparking mask, and the serious crime-fighting-Batgirl styling on the cape, gauntlets, and costume body. It too is also available in Pink & Silver!
According to reviewers on Amazon.com – where it received 4/5 star average rating by over 265 reviewers:
- Well-made, very cute with all of the girly elements (sparkles, shimmer, gold trim, etc.).
- Again, sizing runs small, so be aware if ordering – get a size up. (Mask also reportedly runs small!)
- Many of the critical reviewers claimed they were only sent the dress or just the tutu – that the accessory pieces were missing when the set arrived.
TODDLER / INFANT Batman Costumes
DC Comics Superhero Style Baby Batman Costume
Fighting crime has never been so cute! 🙂 Here’s a great one for a baby or little toddler (available in size 0-6m, and 6-12m).
I chose this one specifically because if your son or daughter is like my two children, they don’t like things covering their face – or rather, they wouldn’t keep a mask on even long enough for a quick picture! I love that their eyes and nose aren’t covered by the hat at all, yet it’s still fully BATMAN!
It’s more of an outfit than a costume, material-wise -very comfy! And yes, the cape is removable… it’s attached by two Velcro spots… and is short enough that crawlers won’t get caught up in it. Perfect!
This costume has an average of 4.4/5 stars by over 160 reviewers at Amazon.com.
Batman “The Dark Knight Rises” Costume for Infants Or Toddlers
If your little guy (or girl, why not?) loves disguises, and doesn’t mind something on his face, this might be the Batman costume your toddler will love! Styled after Batman in “The Dark Knight Rises”, he’ll be saving Gotham – and your household – in style in this one!
Check out more on this Batman outfit at Amazon.com – it’s available in both Infant, and 1-2 years sizes. Lots of reviewers, who gave this review an average review of 3.7/5 stars, said that it fits really big though, so buyer beware! Also note that the mask is attached to the cape, so if your child wants the cape but not the mask, this might not be the one for you.
Baby Girl’s DC Comics Superhero Style Baby Batgirl Costume
Ok – how can I NOT include this one! Our little girlies can’t be left out of the Batman dress up fun! And this one is so cute, isn’t it? Looks comfy, looks girly, and looks like she’s ready to join in to the Justice League with a sweet smile as her secret weapon.
Reviewers at Amazon.com give it a 4.2/5 star rating and digging through the comments on it, they say that it also makes nice pyjamas (it’s a zip-up onesie, cape is removable), and looks super cute and is comfy. It runs a bit big for a newborn, so depending on the size of your baby, it might be perfect… or not. 😉
BATMAN Accessories for Kids
I’ve discovered from watching my own kids play dress up that sometime it’s the simple accessories that get the most play time. Kids don’t always want to be bothered with putting on a whole outfit or bodysuit, even if it’s cool like one of the fun ones above. So, here are my two choices for Batman dress up accessories for kids!
Child-size Batman Mask (The Dark Knight Rises)
Made by Rubie’s, this is a hard yet flexible plastic mask with an elastic band that holds it in place very nicely, according to reviewers (over 460 reviewers gave an average 4.2/5 star rating). It’s shaped to fit a child’s face, with the eye-holds lined with foam, and no obstructions by the nose and mouth.
Note: it says “Adult/Teen” size in the size area, but Child in the description. Reading through the comments/reviews note that it fits their 3 year olds and up… and that it isn’t likely it’d fit a full grown man.

Superhero Cape & Mask – Batman Theme!
Superhero Cape & Mask – Batman Theme!And then last but not least, there’s the most obvious Batman easy dress up accessory for kids: The cape with the logo, and a simple mask. An easy and fun costume piece for role playing, super-hero play, and general dress up fun.
Cost-wise, it’s easy on the budget. Quality-wise, this double-layered satin material with Velcro closure cape is GREAT, according to reviewers at Amazon.com! Average rating 4.5/5 stars by over 180 reviewers!
Kids love capes! They provide HOURS of fun. Just picture your child racing around the house and the yard in it! 🙂
Well, friends, I hope these Batman costumes for kids have been to your liking – and that it’ll help you in your search for some fun kids play dress up clothes to add to their dress up collection!
Have fun watching your kids fight crime, Bat-style!
Oh yes. By the way… I just have to share this video below with you all. It’s totally unrelated to kids Batman costumes, but if you and your little Bat-fans haven’t seen THIS year, you’re in for a treat! It’s The Piano Guys music video called “Batman Evolution”. It’s AMAZING!!! Promise me you’ll check it out!

Hi there,
Marlaine, I am so glad I came across this post as it has such great information on batman costumes. The choice is abundant and I like the way you have “reviewed” each one of them. Good thing you have also shown us customer reviews from Amazon, this really helps. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Hey Peter, thanks for dropping by! Do you have kids that love Batman? Which is your favorite of these costumes? 🙂
These are brilliant. I have a son who is just over 2 years old and I know he would love these. This is a great site for parents who haven’t really grown up hehe. A question as a parent to another parent: are these easy to wash?
Thanks Craig! I must say I’m having a lot of fun digging around looking for great costumes – there’s definitely a kid in many of us! 😉
As for the washing question, it definitely depends on the outfit. The fine print for most costumes I’ve looked at say “wipe clean” or “hand-wash”, so to me personally that translates into “probably not super easy to clean”. But that being said, reading through the reviews on these, several parents have said they did throw the costume in the wash on gentle, hung it to dry, and were pleasantly surprised!
Gotta say though, I haven’t really tried washing my own kids dress up clothes all that much as for the most part they are inside gear, no eating allowed in them, so no real yes or no to your question here… sorry!
Okay thanks Marlaine, I’ll check out the fine print first.
Good idea – each dress up outfit will wash differently depending on the material. Good luck!
You definitely have selected the best Batman costumes for kids. You just exhibited quite a number of them that hardly would any say he can’t find anyone he likes. Lol, the one I like the most is the ones for toddlers because it makes them look so cute and adorable in it. I think it worth looking up.
Hi Nnamdi, You picked one of my favorites too – I love the little bat ears on the hood! Cheers, and thanks for dropping in!
Aww these are adorable! My two year old is in love with batman right now. He asks every night if he can please wear his Batman pajamas with his superhero cape.
I was a little worried about the price of some of these costumes because they’re excellent costumes! However, I needn’t have worried. They are very reasonably priced and well worth it from what I can see!

Thanks Jessica! Unfortunately Amazon frowns on webmasters listing actual prices on their websites as they want the flexibility to change them without customers getting upset. Makes sense, but yeah, it would be nice to post just how reasonably priced these Batman dress up clothes are! Thanks for commenting, and have a great day!
This is too cute! I’m sharing this on all my profiles…my aunt is gonna die lol. The one in the toddler pic is so adorable! I usually just go to Spirit or Party City. I will bookmark this site for next Halloween, and I love your site. Mine seems so boring now lol. I think Batman is my favorite character of all times because he’s the quiet type. I have nephews, and nieces, so I will tag them for this one so they see it.
Thanks so much, Eddie! So glad you had fun browsing! I appreciate the spreading the news about this site too!
Wow, I admire you love for all things Batman!! And that video was amazing. Thank you for sharing all your costumes. I particularly like the last pink with the little girl!! So cute.. Keep up the good work.
Batman has always been and will always be a fun fantasy character to dress up as, I think!
And yes, the Piano Guys Batman video is superbly done, isn’t it!? Glad you loved it! 🙂
The kids love Batman! Halloween is over, but Batman costumes are always in style! I think the toddler costumers are really cute. And you are right, kids don’t always want a whole costumer. Sometimes, all they need is a mask and maybe another accessory or two, and they are already in their Batman fantasy world!
I agree! There was a cape in the dress up box we had when I was growing up and it was one of the most popular items. Batman dress up is yes, most popular around Halloween, but I do find little boys love it year round for dress up play too! Thanks for commenting, and have a lovely day!
Hi Marlaine,
What a great review, I was absorbed by all these costumes! My children love Batman and I am sure they will want to wear one of these costumes. My son is 14 years old and my daughter is 12 years old. Do you think that these can fit them?
I will show them this article, they will love it:)
Do you ship out of the US?
Thank you in advance
Hi Daniella,
The items are sold by Amazon.com (not our site directly)… and while Amazon.com is based in the US, there can be internationally shipping available depending on the item. As far as sizing goes, that would depend on which costume you’re/they’re looking at! Many come in larger sizes, so likely you’ll be in luck!
Hope that helps, Daniella!
Marlaine
Haha yes!! This is awesome! My little nephew is always running around the house yelling “I’m batman” in the lowest voice he can. It annoys his dad to no end. I’m totally going to send his wife the link to this site!
Even though Halloween is a ways away…I can almost guarantee she will still buy something just because it’ll annoy him =D
That’s fun LOL. Batman is timeless! I bet your brother secretly thinks it’s hilarious!
Marlaine,
Yes, I remember as a kid my dad and mom always found costumes related to their favorite superheroes. Batman was sure on of them. What a great website to show the different variety and styles for Batman costumes! This could be a great themed party and kids can get a Batman mask or cape. Maybe I am just thinking how to bring into the classroom.
Theme parties for dress up are so fun! Especially when everyone is super familiar with the characters! I wonder if Batman themed parties in the classroom would go over all that well with young kids… how old are your students? When I taught Grade 5, many of the kids (girls especially) weren’t familiar with the comic characters. That WAS a few years back, before Hollywood EXPLODED Marvel stuff everywhere though… 🙂 Either way, capes are always a hit!
Thanks for your comment! Have a lovely day!
