With the new movie receiving rave reviews (including ours), you might be curious as to what The Batman merchandise is like. Predictably, there’s a lot… and much of it is an acquired taste. To save you sorting the wheat from the chaff like a Riddler-style puzzle, we’ve gathered the coolest items here.
You’ve got plenty to choose from. The Batman merchandise ranges from obligatory Funko POPs to t-shirts and everything in between, but there are some real standouts that caught our eye. As an example, this snapback baseball cap is pretty awesome. Although it weighs in at a rather expensive $39.36 on Amazon (opens in new tab), it’s made from a wicked leather-effect material and features a “distinctive armor style design”. At the other end of the scale, the Lego Batman & Selina Kyle Motorcycle Pursuit (available for $14.97 at Amazon (opens in new tab)) is a good way of getting a cheap memento of the film. Besides featuring the film’s leads in full costume, it also includes the Bat-signal as well. It’s a perfect snippet of the movie.
Anyway, let’s get to it. Here’s the best The Batman merchandise on shelves right now.
Best The Batman merchandise – t-shirts & clothing
(opens in new tab)The Batman Scribbles Bat Logo t-shirt | $23.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Men or women’s fit – There’s some stiff competition from the many, many other tees out there celebrating The Batman, but this might just be our favorite. With Batman’s logo in Riddler’s crosshairs, it’s the perfect representation of their relationship in the movie. You can get it in sizes small to 3X-large as well, or opt for a long-sleeved version instead (opens in new tab).

Men or women’s fit – Here’s a second great question mark-themed tee for you.

It comes in men’s or women’s fit with sizes ranging from small to 3X-large, so there should be one to suit you.

The Batman News Silhouette t-shirt | $23.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Men or women’s fit – Another cool but subtle design, this silhouette tee features Batman along with Riddler’s serial-killer wall of newspaper clippings that document his obsession with Bruce Wayne – and Batman himself. You can get it in a men’s or women’s fit with sizes from small to 3X-large.
The Batman Mechanical Bat Logo t-shirt | $21.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Men or women’s fit – Want to keep things simple? This straightforward tee features the Batarang chestpiece from The Batman’s armor with a very small logo above it, so it’s a good option if you want to get your Bat on without going overboard. As before, men’s and women’s fit with sizes from small to 3X-large are available. If you’d prefer, the design can also be found on a men’s-fit hoodie at Amazon (opens in new tab).

The Batman Selina Kyle Cat Silhouette Raglan Baseball shirt | $26.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Men or women’s fit – We couldn’t have a list of tees from The Batman without a design featuring Catwoman, could we? This cool baseball shirt is sleek and elegant, a bit like Selina Kyle herself. A great option if you want something honoring the Cat from The Batman merchandise.

The Batman The Riddler Crossword Puzzle V-2 long-sleeve t-shirt | $30.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Unisex fit – What better way to represent the Riddler’s love of puzzles than with a crossword? This is a fun nod to that, and we’re big fans of the fact it offers a reference without being overtly in your face.

Batman Snapback Hat | $39.96 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
We’re suckers for baseball caps that aren’t just a case of ‘stick a logo on it’, so this option from Concept One fits the bill nicely. Thanks to a faux-leather material and segmented, armor-esque panelling along with a intriguing metal-effect Batsymbol, it’s a striking hat that goes well above the bare minimum when it comes to The Batman merchandise.
Best The Batman merchandise – Funko POPs
1. The Batman (standard)
Unsurprisingly, there are more than a few figures of The Batman himself. However, we’d argue that the bog-standard version is the best of them (you can even get a Jumbo-sized version (opens in new tab) if you want something a bit more imposing). Besides showing off his full costume in a brawler’s stance that’s befitting of this more violent Dark Knight, we’d argue that it’s a step above the ‘Battle Ready Pose (opens in new tab)‘ equivalent that kinda looks like he’s firing silly string at the criminals of Gotham.
2. The Riddler
Many doubted that this version of the classic villain would cut the mustard, but you know what? Those naysayers seem to have been proven wrong. As such, grabbing a Riddler to go with your Batman POP isn’t a bad shout – it shows off Paul Dano’s terrifying take on the baddie in his full getup, mask and all, not to mention a roll of duct tape (aw, he’s ready to wrap you a present!). And seeing as this is the only Riddler figure so far, it’s your best option by default.
3. Selina Kyle
While there’s a variant on a motorcycle (opens in new tab) that’s suitably awesome, the standard version of Catwoman with a mask wins out for us. It perfectly captures the character with a pose that screams “yes, I stole your jewels, so what?”, and the knitted mask with the cat ears is a cool touch. It’s worth noting that you can also get a version without the mask, too – there’s a one-in-six chance of picking it up, mainly because it’s a chase variant. That makes it must-have The Batman merchandise for collectors.
Best The Batman merchandise – Lego
1. Lego Batman & Selina Kyle Motorcycle Pursuit (76179)
There are grander Lego sets for The Batman out there, but this budget-friendly option might actually be our pick of the bunch. Besides featuring the Bat and the Cat on their new wheels, it also comes with a glow-in-the-dark Batsignal (!) and accessories for both characters. It’s the perfect snapshot of this movie, in other words, and that makes it some of the best The Batman merchandise out there.
2. Lego Batmobile: The Penguin Chase (76181)
Even though there’s a more detailed version of the Batmobile available via the Lego Technic range (opens in new tab), this version is actually our favorite. As well as being a darn sight cheaper (the Technic equivalent weighs in at $99.99), this version still manages to capture the car’s unmistakable silhouette despite being a fair bit smaller. It also comes with a minifigure of The Batman himself to go with the Penguin, so you have someone to sit at the wheel.
3. Lego Batcave: The Riddler Face-Off (76183)
Want the ultimate Batman Lego set? This premium offering is detailed and sprawling enough for the job, offering a brick-based take on this iteration’s more grounded Batcave. Alongside the grand Wayne Terminus staircase and an enormous computer setup for Bruce to brood over, you’re getting almost all of the major players from this movie as well – Batman (including his Drifter persona), Catwoman, The Riddler, Alfred, and Commissioner Gordon are included within the box.
Not quite satisfied with the picks above? Be sure to check out the best Lego sets (or the best Lego deals, for that matter) for more bricky goodness. It’s also worth taking a look at these gifts for gamers if you’re buying with someone else in mind.
