Spiderman costumes hit the headlines

Is there no end to Spiderman’s popularity? The answer is a resounding “no”. Spiderman is one of those timeless classic superheroes which appeal to young and old alike, with Spiderman costumes continuing to be top sellers for fancy dress retailers. The costumes are available in both adult and child sizes and range from the classic red Spiderman, to the new black “Venom” costume. Accessories include red or black gloves and boot covers with the classic webbing pattern printed on them. A plethora of Spidey toys, games, wallpaper, bed linen, lamps, lunch boxes and memorabilia is also widely available.

A fourth installment of the big-screen version of the comic book is due to be released in 2011, with the film’s producers promising many more films to follow. It has been established that Spider-Man 1 and Spider-Man 2 are among the top twenty biggest grossing films of all time in the world, so why stop at number four? It obviously makes sense to stick with a winning formula. Even a lavish musical based on the superhero is being planned, entitled “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark” which will be reportedly the most expensive production in Broadway history. Featuring songs from U2, the musical is sure to be a great hit.
