Ryan O'Rourke is a dedicated film and television writer with a passion for horror, sitcoms, and animation of all kinds.
The Big Picture San Diego Comic-Con is right around the corner and Mattel has a few goodies in store for fans of the big black bat. Batman is celebrating his 85th anniversary since Bob Kane and Bill Finger first introduced the character in DC's Detective Comics #27 and the toy company is wishing the Caped Crusader a happy birthday with two new collector's edition sets that will be sold exclusively at the convention this July.
Built for display on your shelf, the box is kitted with a protective shell emblazoned with the bat signal to keep the cars safe in their respective parking spots. Each spot celebrates the various movies and series they represent too, with art featuring silhouettes of the Batmen and villains from each title, like Jack Nicholson's Joker, Jim Carrey's Riddler, and Colin Farrell's Penguin.
While the toys celebrate the past of Batman, the future still holds plenty of promise. DC is currently working on two universes involving the character, with Reeves preparing The Batman: Part II and the Penguin spinoff series as Elseworlds titles while The Flash's Andy Muschietti crafts The Brave and the Bold as an entry to James Gunn and Peter Safran's cinematic universe.
