Costumed Characters is a series that celebrates and comments on the conventions of superhero comics, cosplayers, reality TV and movies.  The tongue-in-cheek series explores the concepts of heartbreak and heroism with a humorous twist.

Costumed Characters is done in the spirit of the 1966 Batman TV series. So, it only makes sense that the format for these tales be “live action” fumetti, or photocomics.  By utilizing and mixing photography and the language of comics, this series can stand apart from other superhero parodies while still feeling familiar.

In today’s episode, THE HALL OF JUST US, The nuclear powered Fission and Duplicato spend an evening at the “Hall of Just Us” bar, competing for the attention of The Tarot, a beautiful heroine whose cards hold a mysterious power.
