Aquaman, Black Adam, Cyborg, Blue Beetle, Green Arrow and Peacemaker: DC Motorcycle Gear Guide

Short answer: beyond Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, our DC range includes six more original inspired designs: Aquaman, Black Adam, Cyborg, Blue Beetle, Green Arrow and Peacemaker. Each one is offered as a superhero motorcycle suit and as a superhero motorcycle jacket. They are original designs inspired by the characters. They are not licensed or official merchandise.

If you came looking for a DC superhero costume that you can actually sit in, ride in or display on a mannequin, this guide covers how each of the six is translated into leather panels and which version to pick. The full list is on our DC inspired motorcycle gear page.

The six designs at a glance

Colors above are the broad palette of each design. Check the product page for the exact shades before you order.

Aquaman: scales and gold in leather

Aquaman is the easiest of the six to recognize from across a parking lot. The look depends on orange scale-textured leather, gold-tone details and green forearms, with a gold-tone belt above dark green legs. On the product page the leather itself is scale-textured, with a sculpted chest, so the effect reads as part of the suit instead of a graphic laid on top.

See the product page for the exact panel layout. If you want the full-body version, see the Aquaman inspired suit. For a lighter option that still carries the colors, the Aquaman inspired jacket works with plain black riding pants.

Black Adam: dark leather with a lightning emblem

Black Adam is charcoal leather with a sculpted chest, a gold lightning emblem and gold-tone arm detail. The suit adds a gold-tone belt and lines on the lower legs. Dark leather hides creases well, which matters on a piece you intend to wear often. Any logo goes on the inner glove cuff and never over TPU or black protective parts.

The Black Adam designs have no cape. If you add one yourself for photos, it must come off before riding; our guide to capes on motorcycle suits explains why. Choose between the Black Adam inspired suit and the Black Adam inspired jacket on the product pages.

Cyborg: building a tech look from leather

Cyborg is built from silver and gray leather panels with a round red chest detail, red arm accents and, on the suit, red rings at the knees. The machine-like look comes from the panel contrast, and the suit stays in leather rather than hard plating.

Start with the Cyborg inspired suit if you want the complete look, or the Cyborg inspired jacket if you prefer a single piece.

Blue Beetle: blue armor-style paneling

Blue Beetle is dark blue cowhide with bright blue glowing-look lines on the chest and arms that continue down the legs on the suit. This is a good example of a design where line placement matters more than texture, and a clean fit keeps those lines sitting where they should. The Blue Beetle inspired jacket carries the same lines. See the Blue Beetle inspired suit for the full set.

Green Arrow and Peacemaker: two colorful but wearable designs

Green Arrow is dark green leather with sculpted chest panels, and the suit has cargo-style panels on the legs. Peacemaker is a sculpted red chest with a white and yellow emblem, navy sleeves with white stripes and, on the suit, tan legs with navy trim. If you plan to ride rather than pose, Green Arrow looks the most natural on a bike.

Both come as suits and jackets: Green Arrow suit, Green Arrow jacket, Peacemaker suit and Peacemaker jacket. Compare them with the villain motorcycle gear range if you want a darker alternative, and with Batman inspired gear if you want the more famous DC option.

Which build should you pick?

The build matters more than the character.

The suits use full-grain cowhide, 1.2-1.4 mm. The jackets are top-grain cowhide, 1.2-1.3 mm. CE Level 2 armor is a paid upgrade, and the optional EN 1621-2 back protector is sold as an add-on. Armor says nothing about how a crash will end, so treat it as one part of your riding kit, not a guarantee. Ask us about the armor before you order if protection is your main reason for buying.

Pairing designs for two or more riders

The six characters work well as a mismatched team because their palettes do not clash. Blue Beetle and Aquaman make a bright pair. Black Adam and Cyborg suit riders who prefer darker, metallic tones. A group of three can mix suits and jackets, so one person rides in the suit while another wears the jacket over their own pants. Order the same build level across the group if you want everyone to ride, because a display suit has no armor and should stay off the road.

For a bigger group, our couple and group outfit ideas go through color planning in more detail.

When not to choose these

• If you need a track-day suit with proven certification, a race suit from our custom race suits range is a better fit than a character design.
• If you want licensed merchandise with an official logo, this is not it.
• If you plan to wear a cape on the bike, don't. Capes come off before riding.

Caring for the finished piece

Raised or sculpted panels collect dust and creases first. Wipe the suit with a soft dry cloth after wear, hang it on a wide hanger and keep it out of direct sun and heat. Check our general leather advice before using any cleaner.

Sizing and ordering

Use our size chart before you pick a size, and read how to order if you need a measured fit. Matching gloves and boots are offered as options on the product page, not as separate items. Made-to-measure is available as Custom Size on every product. Product images are design renders, so small details on the finished piece can differ.

FAQs

Is DC inspired gear official merchandise?

No. These are original designs inspired by the characters and are not licensed or official merchandise.

Can I ride in these DC suits?

The riding build has removable CE Level 1 armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips, and a back pocket for an optional EN 1621-2 back protector (add-on). You choose the speed hump on the order form (none, standard, ventilated or Hydro). The cosplay and display build has no armor, back protector or hump, and should not be used for riding. No garment guarantees protection, so choose your gear with that in mind.

Which of these designs is a jacket and which a suit?

All six are listed as both a suit and a jacket. Check each product page, because availability can change.

Do the DC suits come with capes?

None of these six designs has a cape. Across our superhero range only a few designs do, and a cape must be taken off before riding.

Which DC character is best for a first-time buyer?

Green Arrow is the most wearable because the styling is restrained. Aquaman and Black Adam stand out more and suit buyers who want a clear character statement.

Can I match a DC suit with a friend?

Yes. Pick two designs from the same range, order the same build and compare sizes on the size chart.
