1 Superman

What to wear: Superman has perhaps the most iconic costume of the group, but the latest iteration of his look is much more modern. You could modify some of the already-existing Superman costumes out there, or build your own with muted spandex and an epic cape.
How to act: Since Superman is from another planet, he lacks the social graces of most humans. A bit distant, but brave.

2 Batman

What to wear: You can build your own Batman costume or buy a premade one and spruce it up. The most important components are a very long and dramatic cape and a badass bat helmet.
How to act: Dark and mysterious. You're in charge, and you're the nightmare that lurks in the shadows. Just creep around people like a crazy person all night and you'll be good.

3 Aquaman

What to wear: First of all, you need to find a way to get that godly mane and beard. If you haven't grown one yourself, it's time to get hunting. Pair the look with lots of silver armor, and don't forget your trident.
How to act: Angry and brooding. Aquaman is not here to have fun or mess around. Don't be afraid to enter nearby pools, bathtubs, and other miscellaneous bodies of water.

4 Wonder Woman

What to wear: You know the classic Wonder Woman look, but the modernized version is a bit darker. Get your hands on a shield, a lasso, and some arm cuffs. As for the armor, it's very reminiscent of a gladiator, so if you don't want to settle for any old premade costume, collect the pieces yourself.
How to act: Like a total badass. This woman doesn't take sh*t from anyone.

5 Cyborg

What to wear: Much like the other members of the Justice League, you have to get that armor together. Since Cyborg is a bit more robotic, the more mechanical you are, the better. And if you can find a way to get that glowing eye, more power to you.
How to act: Like a member of the team who's ready to kick ass, take names, and have a good time doing it.
