"Holy smokes, Batman. Let's take a selfie."
While those words may not have been actually said at New York Comic Con this weekend, posing for photos with extravagantly detailed costumes very much was one of the most popular activities of the three-day event. In a world where capped cosplayers roamed in thousands, and one where "emergency costume technicians" exist, the scene at the Javits Center was nothing short of a comic book-themed fantasy.
If you were unable to attend, you can see what you missed below.
