costumed party entertainers e.g. superhero - good or not?

ok so i'm considering a superhero theme for a party of reception kids (boys and girls), complete with entertainer dressed as a superhero. do these go down well with the kids or are they scary/creepy?

I am doing this next weekend! I have a couple of friends dressing as Batman & Robin, who are going to swoop into the party & hand out party bags & chat to the kids. It never crossed my mind that it could be creepy.

Ours was a great success :) Some of the kids were a bit shy, none were scared and lots wanted to shake Batmans hand!
