Spring-Heeled Jack, the original Victorian Batman
The above illustration is from 1904, but legends of “Spring Heeled Jack” start around the 1860s:
“The story of Spring Heeled Jack begins rather innocently as a simple rumor starting in the south western area of London, early 19th century. Beginning in 1837, citizens began reporting sightings of a figure who could seem to leap across entire streets in one bound and over ten foot hedges with scary speed and precision. Dressed in black and often taking on demonic features, Spring Heeled Jack’s eyes glowed like red lasers and was often seen breathing blue flames through his nostrils and mouth”

This was actually the last picture I took; I’m going backwards. Saw a couple of Megaman cosplayers at the con, but this one was the best. And that Dr. Light, omg please.
Sarah Maple makes interesting self portraits. A Muslim Cindy Sherman? Maybe. I dunno. Don’t listen to me.
