Humans aren’t the only ones dressing up for the annual movie, TV show, and comic book convention known as Comic Con: Pups are coming in with some strong cosplay of their own. Popular dog costumes throughout the years have included Batman, Yoda, and Spider-Man.
Here are some adorable dogs that outdid dressed-up humans at Comic Cons worldwide.
2019’s Comic Con International took place from July 18 to July 21 in San Diego. As usual, dogs joined the cosplay action and came dressed in their favorite costumes (or, more likely, their owners’ favorite costumes).
Here’s a pup doing its best impersonation of Spider-Man, a popular costume among four-legged Comic Con attendees.
This pup was born to play four-legged Gandalf from “The Lord of the Rings.”
This dog’s natural beard really lends itself to that Middle-Earth wizard look.
Four-legged Yoda, too, made an appearance at 2019’s Comic Con International.
This was also not Yoda’s first four-legged appearance at the convention, though, earlier Yodas may have been more active participants…
2019’s Comic Con didn’t just see dog superheroes, it saw dog villains, too.
This “Stranger Things”-inspired Demogorgon dog couldn’t be scary if it tried. It’s too cute.
2018 saw many pups donning costumes in Comic Cons far and wide. This pup made an appearance at the New York Comic Con in October 2018.
Despite dressing like the frightening Spider-Man universe character Venom, this dog is still adorable.
These are Zuzu and Zunky, socialite pups who made an inmate-inspired appearance at the New York Comic Con in October 2018.
Zuzu and Zunky have their own Instagram account where they model dog swag others can buy for their pets, too.
Spider-Man the dog made an appearance at the 2018 Comic Con International convention, crossing paths with Spider-Man the human.
This was likely very meta for both of them.
Another Marvel hero, Iron Man, also made an appearance on four legs at the 2018 Comic Con in San Diego.
We prefer this version of Iron Man to the original.
Avenger Captain America came clad in his American flag cape.
Hopefully, furry versions of every Avenger made their way into the convention that year…
Some puppy costumes are harder to decipher than others.
Wonder Woman? Captain Marvel? Harley Quinn? It’s hard to tell who this puppy is dressed as but we’re totally on board.
Across the pond, this dog was doing its best Batman impersonation.
In September 2018, Kiev, Ukraine, saw its own Comic Con convention, in which this Batman lookalike made a furry appearance.
Four-legged Batman made an appearance at the 2017 Comic Con International convention in San Diego, too.
He even brought his own Batmobile.
Are unicorns in sunglasses a thing? This dog thinks so.
Here’s another pup who decided to go rogue with its cosplay. It’s not totally clear what its costume is, but we’re here for it.
This pup is doing their best aviator impression.
Or it’s a Minion. Once again, a confusing costume choice made cute by the adorable dog wearing it.
Actor David Mazouz from TV shows “Gotham” and “Touch” brought his dog Starlit to New York’s Comic Con 2016.
While most dogs prefer the Batman look, Starlit was content to dress as his sidekick.
