There are many superheroes in this world, but Batman must surely be at or near the top of the list! It’s hard for modern kids to believe that he started life as a comic book character in 1939 and is now the star of numerous blockbuster films.
All Batman's TV and film appearances have resulted in the development of hundreds of Batman toys and associated merchandise for kids and adults alike. His outfits and methods of transport have changed to reflect altering fashions, but the toys now on sale are so realistic and detailed that kids can really live out their make believe playtime with more fun than ever before.
Batman’s popularity has been sporadic over the decades, but in the 21st century he is now more in demand than ever. In the films he no longer has Robin as his companion, but with his trusty butler Alfred to help him rid Gotham City of his numerous enemies like Joker, Penguin or Two Face, he will endure for a long time to come. With many other spin-off Batman toys available, he has become a cultural pop icon as well as a commodity to be made and sold. The unofficial Batman Toys Blog keeps a close eye on all the latest product developments and provides a handy price comparison tool too.
