subject: Kick-Ass Halloween Costumes [print this page] Fresh from their 2010 movie Kick-Ass, Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl are new (and terribly young) superheroes to watch out for. They're an instant hit among kids, and as proof of that, Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl Halloween costumes are already out in stores and online.
Kick-Ass is Dave, a teenager who wonders why there are no superheroes in real life just like in the comic books. Very ironic then, because little boys donning their Kick-Ass Halloween costumes are essentially little boys impersonating a boy who wants to be a superhero. Kick-Ass eventually becomes a real superhero (due to a rather fortunate accident), becomes immune to pain, and uses his newfound powers to rescue people from the bad guys.
Hit-Girl, on the other hand, is ten-year-old Mindy McReady, who was trained by her father Big Daddy to be a crime-fighting vigilante, expert in various bladed weapons and guns. On the surface, Hit-Girl is an ordinary girl who likes Hello Kitty and comics and John Woo and Clint Eastwood movies. But touch her nerves, and she's one efficient, unforgiving fighterbut on the good side. Together, she and Kick-Ass try to bring down a powerful crime syndicate.
Now you know Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl's appeal to little tykes this Halloween. Besides being brand-new superheroes (to add to the growing list of superheroes on TV, films, and comic books,) Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl are a dream come true for kids who previously thought that only adults get to be superheroes. Just for one night, they can wear their Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl Halloween costumes and be real, actual, living, breathing superheroes, if only in the name of asking for candies and chocolate bars.
Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl Halloween costumes are sure fun to wear and be. We're tired of the old superheroes like Batman and Catwoman and Superman and Wonder Woman. They still rock, of course, but it's 2010 already. A new brand of superheroes is needed. One that answers little kids' prayers. Make way for Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl.
