All dogs want to protect their owners, so why don't you turn your dog into the vigilante it actually is and dress it up in a Batman Pet Costume?

They may only bark at passing neighbors or other dogs, but that doesn't mean they won't feel like superheroes doing it -- let them show that off in this cute costume. It comes with a bat ear headpiece, a jumpsuit with the same detailing as Batman's costume and a cute little cape.

With all the [Dark Knight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-x-air-up) hype this year, it only seems appropriate that at least one member of the family is dressed like Batman. This adorably dorky [dog costume](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crescent-mummy-dog-costume) is available from NeatoShop and is the perfect item for your pet this [Halloween](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petsmart-thrills-chills).
