As tens of thousands of fans descend on San Diego for Comic-Con International, we look at some of the best costumes to feature on day one.
Members of the League of Hatters were among those with the most eye-catching outfits at the San Diego Convention Centre.
After their characters featured together in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Wonder Woman and Superman appeared to have joined forces for this year’s event.
Todd Schimt carries his surfboard into the convention centre dressed as comic book superhero the Silver Surfer.
These women captured one of the scariest scenes from The Shining, as they dressed up as the twins from the horror classic complete with bloodied skirts, an axe and a picture of Jack Nicholson in his most famous scene.
It was one of the biggest superhero movie hits of this year, and there were plenty of people showing their appreciation for Deadpool.
Wonder Woman is always a popular choice at the convention too.
Superman is proving he’s still got hero status.
It’s not only new movie characters who are popular though, old favourites such as The Fifth Element are always a hit.
