This year’s San Diego Comic-Con was always going to be unlike any other, but if there’s one thing you can always count on at SDCC, it’s the cosplay. Last year saw cosplayers get creative to accommodate mask mandates, but 2023 saw a return to decked-out (and sometimes teched-out), dressed-to-the-nines costumes.
Each year, tends of thousands of comic book fans descend upon San Diego for the annual San Diego Comic-Con.
And although this year’s event won’t feature any Hollywood actors due to the ongoing WGA and SAG strikes, there’s still plenty of stars walking around in the form of costumed superheroes, supervillains, aliens and fantasy figures.
This trio dressed up as their favorite DC heroes Batman, Robin and Hawkgirl.
