With Matt Reeve’s The Batman ushering in a new era for the caped crusader, there’s never been a better time to find superhero shopping recommendations.
Even without the release of the new movie, Batman is up there with Superman as one of the most iconic DC Comics legends of all time — not only is the character a hit in the collectibles arena, especially on sites like Ebay (like this autographed Adam West Batman movie poster), the vigilante has repped everything from clothing and accessories, to Ring doorbell Quick Replies.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the comics or just a movie-goer with opinions on Pattinson versus Affleck’s Wayne, we’ve rounded up 10 pieces of limited-edition merch that showcase Batman in all its dark, gritty and occasionally campy glory. You should swoop in and shop quickly, too — many of the items on our list are in high demand, and you’ll want to snag them before they’re sold-out.
1. The Batman x Fossil Capsule
“Cue the suspenseful music”, as Fossil says of their latest limited-edition capsule collection. The Batman x Fossil is a 10-piece line of collectible watches, jewelry and leather goods inspired by the Batman’s signature Batsuit and the enigmatic super-villain, The Riddler. We like the matte black The Batman Watch, with its stainless steel, black ion-plated 42mm case, and glowing green lume on all hour markers. You’ll also be prepared for any crime-fighting mission with the leather collection, especially the The Batman Waistpack, which can switch ‘identities’ and become a sling back.
