On the road with Batman

Batman is a superhero who has endured the test of time

The buzz around the new Batman movie starring Robert Pattinson has led to a lot of excitement among the fans of the superhero yet again. As a result of the impending release of the movie in 2022, merchandising has begun in full force with LEGO releasing its Batman-inspired set. The set allows the user to build the new Batmobile from scratch with 1,360 pieces and is priced at $99.99. It is due for release in November this year.

We reached out to a couple of avid Batman fans about some of their collectibles for the caped crusader and what they expect from the upcoming adaptation of the film.

Bobble heads beckon

Zarir Mehta, 24, student
I have been an avid Justice League fan growing up and read a lot of comics. I have a decent collection of comics myself from those days; Batman has always stood out for me. I plan to get the Batman bobble heads when the movie comes out. The new suit looks amazing and has a lot of Arkham Knight's influence in the design. I am really looking forward to that. I think the film is going to be great! Robert Pattinson is one of the most versatile contemporary actors. People give him a lot of hate for his Twilight era, which I think is unfair. The movie looks raw, dark, angry and chaotic. I think I am going to love this version of Batman.

Collection time

I have two Batman Funkos, one is the classic Batman and another from the 80th anniversary special edition. I have been a fan of the superhero since I was a child. I am planning on assembling the entire collection of Batman Funkos. I am really excited about the latest Batman movie because it is inspired from my favourite comic book, The Long Halloween. The trailer looks amazing and it is filled with a lot of classic villains. I am excited to see what Robert Pattinson brings to the role.
