When Aquaman costumes come to Halloween stores around the country this year, they will apparently lean into the classic orange-and-green look of the comics, if a leaked image appearing on Reddit is any indication.
The costumes likely come from Rubie's, a popular retailer whose seasonal costume inventory has already started circulating online, although since they come from a Reddit leak, the original source is anybody's guess.

The comics-accurate costume is fun, but what's arguably better is the truly absurd beard, eyebrows, and wig on the Aquaman costume.
While the green and orange look might not be Aquaman's primary costume palette in the DC movies, using it for licensing and merchandising helps Warner Bros. avoid a pitfall that Disney fell into shortly after the release of Moana: A Halloween costume that featured Maui (Dwayne Johnson's character from the film) as a bare chest with brown skin and tattoos from the film) was accused of cultural appropriation.
Since Jason Momoa has repeatedly discussed the cultural significance of the tattoos his character wears in Aquaman, it seems likely that similar controversy could have erupted if the Aquaman costume had embraced Momoa's bare-chested look.
From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, Aquaman, starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be... a king.
Starring Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Patrick Wilson, Randall Park, Dolph Lundgren, Tempera Morrison, Djimon Hounsou, Willem Dafoe, and Nicole Kidman, Aquaman opens December 21.
Other Worlds of DC films ahead include Joaquin Phoenix's Joker in October of 2019, Wonder Woman 1984 on November 1, 2019, Shazam on April 5, 2019, Cyborg in 2020, and Green Lantern Corps in 2020, along with numerous undated films in various stages of development.
