Hot Wheels Batman 85th Anniversary Set Includes 5 Batmobiles

DC Comics is celebrating 85 years of Batman throughout 2024, and so far the festivities have included new merch like Funko Pops and LEGO sets. This Hot Wheels Batmobile set was just added to the lineup, and it looks to be a fantastic item for collectors that won’t break the bank. It includes five 1:64 scale die-cast iterations of the Batmobile: the Batman ’66 TV Series Batmobile, the Batmobile from the 1989 film starring Michael Keaton, the Batman & Robin Batmobile, The Dark Knight Trilogy Tumbler (the camo version for some reason), and the Batmobile from the recent The Batman film starring Robert Pattinson. 

Pre-orders for the Hot Wheels Batman 85th anniversary Batmobile set can be found here on Amazon priced at $19.99 with a release date set for July 15th. From the official description: 

“Celebrate the 85th anniversary of Batman with a 5-pack of varieties of his primary vehicle. This set focuses on the evolution of the Batmobile with one from its earliest days on the Batman™ TV show to the latest model from THE BATMAN feature film. Each die-cast vehicle is 1:64 scale with elevated deco and exclusive wheels, and one of the vehicles has an all-zinc casting. The set comes in ownable commemorative packaging, perfect for display.”

Speaking of the camo Tumbler from the Dark Knight Trilogy, McFarlane Toys recently launched an Amazon exclusive edition of the vehicle that’s designed to accommodate two 7-inch scale DC Multiverse figures. At the time of writing it was still available to pre-order here on Amazon for $69.99 with a release date set for July 26th. 

What James Gunn Has Planned For Batman

At the moment, The Brave and the Bold is a bit of a mystery. DC Studios has started off the James Gunn and Peter Safran era with a lot of fun plans. One of the biggest announcements was their Batman project. Longtime fans are excited to see what this Bat-Family-centric take on The Caped Crusader will be like. Damian Wayne fans, your time is here, and this time we’re going to see the character in live-action.

“This is the introduction of the DCU’s Batman…” Gunn previously wrote. “This is the story of Damian Wayne, who is Batman’s actual son who we didn’t know existed for the first eight to 10 years of his life. He was raised as a little murderer and assassin. He’s a little son of a bitch. He’s my favorite Robin. It’s based on the Grant Morrison comic book’s run, which is one of my favorite Batman runs, and we are putting that all together right now.”

“And this is obviously a feature film, and it’s going to feature other members of the extended ‘Bat-family’, just because we feel like they’ve been left out of the Batman stories in the theater for far too long,” Safran added during the announcement.
