The Batman is finally here as Matt Reeves’ DC film looks to bank on its opening weekend. Of course, box office revenue is only a small part of a movie’s revenue potential, which also includes Warner Bros.’ exclusive merchandise for the film.

As expected, Robert Pattinson’s Batman era comes with a brand new Gotham and novel gadgets designed to fit in with Reeves’ more realistic vision for his favorite comic book character. Most of Bruce Wayne’s new gear had already been teased in the many trailes and snippets released ahead of the movie’s premiere, however, the official Warner Bros. product line includes a little something for every Batman fan out there.

First up is a full-size replica Batman cowl, just like the one Pattinson wears in the film, retailing for a hefty $425. Although the product description doesn’t make it exactly clear if it’s suitable for wearing, it does come with a case to ensure its safekeeping and displayability. Also featured in this collection is a 15.5 inches long Batarang, made out of metal-plated resin, which again is made out to be an exact replica of the one Pattinson carries around in the film, hence the $525 price tag.

If these items seem too pricey, fret not, because Warner Bros. is also carrying more modest collectibles and clothing, such as the Batmobile 3D puzzle. Yet, at $4.95 this might not capture the might of Batman’s souped-up muscle car. Lastly, the rest of the product lineup is mostly composed of clothing items such as t-shirts, jackets, mugs and hats, so there’s a good chance of finding something up one’s alley.

Considering the first wave of reviews, The Batman is gearing up to be one of the most commercially successful films of the pandemic era. Nevertheless, critics have also shown high praise for the artistic value in the movie. Suffice to say, The Batman’s cast is already brimming with talented actors, so much in fact that it’s hard to pick a definitive standout performance like in previous Batman films, with Andy Serkis even complimenting Gotham as its own character in some way.

Whether Reeves’ and company succeed in their ultimate goal to trump Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy is entirely up for debate. However, The Batman is looking like a hit right out of the gate, so much so that those who have seen it already want a sequel.

The Batman is currently available in theaters.
