"Rocketeer" had me puzzled. I was confusing it with 1950 tv serials. His helmet wasn't much more than an upside down waste basket and baggy underwear would have been better as his superhero costume which was something one would have worn to a construction job. It was nowhere as good as the Flash Gordon Roman Legion outfits. So I did a minimum of research and found the wikipedia article on the "Rocketeer" which had a cool art deco poster with an updated costume. I'll let you have that because I'm a nice guy.



Yeah, the REAL Rocketeer's costume and movie just hit all the right buttons for me at exactly the right time. Growing up, I was a massive fan of Indiana Jones with his leather jacket, whip, and Fedora, leaving on massive fun adventures during one of my favorite time periods (1930s/WWII build-up). The Last Crusade came out in 1989. Then, at my height of Indy fandom, here comes this new Rocketeer movie in 1991 with another dude rocking a cool leather jacket, a cool helmet, and a sweet jetpack, set during the exact same time period as the Indiana Jones movies. On top of that, not only is it a good fun movie, but it almost has the exact same adventure feel of an Indiana Jones movie. All in all, I fell in love. Then, many years later, here comes another movie directed by the same director as The Rocketeer, set during the same time period with nearly the exact same feel, only this movie is called Captain America: The First Avenger. Needless to say, I really liked that one too.

Setting my childhood nostalgia aside, I still think The Rocketeer is one super cool costume that easily deserves to be in the top 10 of all time. I also secretly hope they someday recon The Rocketeer into the MCU just for a little added fun.

Catwoman - Julie Newmar (superhero in my book sometimes did the right thing for Batman)

Batman - Adam West is a close second
