After their characters featured together in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Wonder Woman and Superman appeared to have joined forces for this year’s event.

These women captured one of the scariest scenes from The Shining, as they dressed up as the twins from the horror classic complete with bloodied skirts, an axe and a picture of Jack Nicholson in his most famous scene.
It was one of the biggest superhero movie hits of this year, and there were plenty of people showing their appreciation for Deadpool.
Wonder Woman is always a popular choice at the convention too.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
