A Bangladeshi cosplayer in a Joker costume

Sanjid Islam Supta, a cosplayer dressed as the Joker, took part in a cosplay competition organized by St. Joseph Higher Secondary School in Dhaka, Bangladesh on September 28, 2019. Cosplay, or costume play, has evolved into an independent art form in Bangladesh and around the world. The trend has spread through many comic or pop culture conventions and online platforms. Young people find it fascinating as it helps them to experience life through the eyes of their favorite characters.
