Batman fancy dress July's most popular costume brand say allfancydress.com

The anticipation for the release of Christopher Nolan's third and final Batman movie, 'The Dark Knight Rises' has reached fever pitch with fancy dress retailer allfancydress.com revealing Batman branded costumes and accessories as their best-selling brand throughout July.

With Christian Bale's final appearance as Batman set to blow box office figures out of the water in the coming weeks, the Essex-based fancy dress retailer has attributed the high sales figures to the thrill and excitement that kids and adults experience re-enacting childhood memories.

Mark Heaton, of All Fancy Dress, said: "We have a number of very popular fancy dress brands within our product range, from popular films to pop stars and comic book characters. The conclusion of 'The Dark Knight' series has focused particular interest on our Batman outfits and accessories in recent weeks.

"Thankfully our officially licensed range of Batman outfits for children and adults are suitable for a variety of occasions. Kids love to dress up as their favourite superheroes whilst playing at home or at parties with friends, while the big kids also enjoy fancy dress parties and dressing as a movie hero from their childhood.

This news comes fresh off the back of reports that have named Batman's rubber body suit as the greatest superhero outfit. Following a poll of 3,500 film fans by streaming and DVD rental service, Lovefilm, it was the distinctive horned helmet and the 'Caped Crusader's' black armour that triumphed ahead of the gadget-packed Iron Man costume.

The most anticipated movie of the summer premiered in London this week with the film's biggest names, Tom Hardy, Christian Bales and Anne Hathaway touching down in London for their "black" carpet appearances in the capital.
