Alejandro González Iñárritu\'s comic drama, Birdman, Michael Keaton plays a washed-up actor struggling with his present circumstances and his sanity after helming an iconic superhero movie franchise in his past. Now he must overcome his ego and his family traumas as he puts all his resources into staging a big Broadway stage comeback to recapture his past acting glory.

Batman in Tim Burton\'s Bat-franchise starting 1989 feature film and 1992 sequel Batman Returns, the actor is the perfect choice for this movie about the worlds of fame, theatre and Hollywoodland.

DC Comics Caped Crusader, be sure to check out Michael Keaton\'s Batman movie costumes on display here at Hollywood Movie Costumes and Props.

Being a huge comic book fan, one of my favourite things about the movie was the design of the

Birdman costume (although I also loved the clever cinematography and the always wonderful Emma Stone as the aging actor\'s troubled daughter).

Oscar-winning Costume Designer Albert Wolsky (he won for 1979\'s All That Jazz and 1991\'s Bugsy) was responsible for crafting the heroic look of the faux iconic \'Birdman\' and Benjamin Kanes filled out the muscle costume as a young \'Riggan Thomson\'.

You really can imagine the mythology behind this cinematic superhero with that amulet on his gloved hand, his taloned-feet and that

Birdman belt-buckle (which I\'m sure would be top of many people\'s Christmas wish list).

This fantastic costume used in the movie was on display at my local

Golden Apple Comics store on Melrose Avenue (where I\'ve bought my comics for the last six years) on December 10, 2014, and it\'s also where I got to meet Jaimie Alexander who plays Sif in Marvel\'s Thor movies, so there\'s always something happening there.

Birdman cosplayers at conventions in the future and maybe next Halloween, especially if the film wins any Academy Awards, so I make no apologies for the number of reference photos that I\'m sure fans will appreciate.

Needless to say, I could easily have walked away with this costume as well as my weekly

Marvel comic books. I love my life at times.
