This weekend marks the premiere of the third (and final) Batman movie from Christopher Nolan; Batman – The Dark Knight Rises.\u00a0\u00a0 In order to celebrate the film’s release, I’ll be marking it by sharing an offering from 1992, and out of Cadbury’s New Zealand branch – the Batman Bar.<\/p>\n

Though released during the heyday of the 1990’s Batman film run, this bar instead chose the illustrated comic book Batman for its overall look and feel.\u00a0 I quite like it, and I think it stands apart from so much of the film-inspired materials that were out at the time:<\/p>\n

That’s all I was planning to show today, but I decided I’d throw in something from here in the USA.<\/p>\n

Here’s a partial set of Willy Wonka Nerds boxes, with Batman “Detective Cards” on them:<\/p>\n

And finally… something not candy-related at all, but it was sitting on my shelf.\u00a0 A fun custom figure from an artist I worked with during my time in the X-Men Editorial Office, Sean Chen:<\/p>\n
