Hot Wheels 2025 Dark Red TV Series Batmobile
I was pleasantly surprised yesterday by finding this Hot Wheels 2025 Dark Red TV Series Batmobile. I picked it up for $1.25 at the local Dollar Tree. It is #3 of 5 in the mini Batman set and #103 of 250 in the main set. There is also a metalflake gray version, which I do not have yet. Some collectors don't like the various colors but I actually enjoy them.
Note: This is my 70th Batmobile post.

Hot Wheels Batman: Arkham Asylum Batmobile 2025 Black Version
I found this black version of the Hot Wheels Batman: Arkham Asylum Batmobile 2025 at the local Walmart's a few weeks ago for $1.25 (yeah, they went up from $1.18). It's #2 in the Batman subset and #54 of the main set. I almost passed it up because I thought I had it, but I got it confused with the metalflake dark gold version. I now have two of the metalflake dark gold Arkham Asylum Batmobiles because I bought another one thinking I had the black version.
Note: This makes my 70th Batmobile post.

Marvel/DC: Deadpool/Batman #1
The next generation of Marvel/DC Comics crossover is now on the newsstands. Deadpool/Batman #1 was released this past Wednesday. There are at least four different covers but I'm only showing the most common one below. Here is the official summary:
"The crossover you’ve pined for but never thought possible: DEADPOOL and BATMAN cross swords and batarangs as MARVEL and DC unite for the first time in decades! WADE WILSON has been hired for a job in GOTHAM CITY, but will the WORLD’S GREATEST DETECTIVE help him or destroy him? The main story starring Deadpool and Batman will be written by Zeb Wells and drawn by industry superstar Greg Capullo. The one-shot will also feature additional backup stories spotlighting other exciting Marvel and DC team-ups from a lineup of all-star talent, including Daredevil and GREEN ARROW by Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert, Captain America and Wonder Woman by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson, and Jeff the Land Shark and Krypto by Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru."

Dollar Tree Superman Playing Cards Part Three
Today is the final look at the deck of Superman Playing Cards that I recently picked up at the local Dollar Tree. I was really expecting to see Lois Lane appear on at least one of the Hearts playing cards but she is not shown on any of the playing cards in this deck.
Batman appears on the Ten of Hearts playing cards while Superman and Wonder Woman share a kiss on the Queen of Hearts playing cards.
Superman battles Batman on the Seven of Spades playing card.
Superman is shown with kisses all of his face from Wonder Woman on the Queen of Spades playing cards.
Overall, this is a great deck of playing cards featuring Superman. However, I would have liked to see more of his supporting cast like Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Perry White. Also, a few playing cards featuring Clark Kent would have been nice too.

Detective Comics #1100
DC Comics released Detective Comics #1100 yesterday. The oversized issue contains four stories with the first one featuring Batman teaming up with Ace the Bat Hound. Joker and Robin appear briefly in other stories. Here's the official summary:
"In March 1937, a comic book was published that changed the world as we know it. Now, 1,099 issues later, some of comics’ top talents have gathered to celebrate the comic that birthed a legend! Tom Taylor and Mikel Janín join forces once again to tell a heartfelt and action-packed story of Batman rescuing a young boy’s best friend. Greg Rucka and Álvaro Martínez Bueno team up for a tale that asks the question: was Gotham better off before Batman? Mariko Tamaki reunites with Detective Comics collaborator Amancay Nahuelpan for a yarn that explores Bruce Wayne’s world outside of the cowl and how his double life as Batman intersects with his alter ego’s actions. Dan Watters and legendary artist Bill Sienkiewicz bring us a story that illustrates just how similar Batman’s motivations are to the criminals he has sworn to fight and how he fights against his own darkness."

The League deputizes a rag tag group of time displaced heroes like Batman Beyond, Gold Beetle, and Helena Wayne to fill the void left behind by the Time Masters and save the quorum from the mysterious threat that’s picking off time-travelers one by one.

The front cover features Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Booster Gold, Gold Beetle, the Huntress and Batman Beyond. Batman and Superman does not appear in this special and Wonder Woman only appears briefly. Mister Terrific, the Atom, Red Tornado and Supergirl also appear briefly.

Hot Wheels Batman 5-Pack 2023
I found this Hot Wheels Batman 5-Pack at the local Walmart's last week but didn't pick it up until this Tuesday. There's a Batmobile, one police car, two villain vehicles and a Batcopter. My camera decided to act up so I didn't get a picture of the box's back, but I did manage get one of the front:
The first three diecast cars include Arkham Asylum Batmobile, Gotham City Boom Box and Harley Quinn Hi-Roller:
The last two vehicles include the Joker Power Pistons (the engine cover and top are transparent green and look really cool) and the all blue Batcopter:

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2 #1
DC Comics teams up with Legendary Comics again with Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2 #1 that came out earlier this week. The cover features Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman with Godzilla and Kong in the background. What makes this interesting is the wedding of Barry Allen aka the Flash and Iris West. Only Clark Kent aka Superman, Bruce Wayne aka Batman and Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman are actually at the wedding while several members of the Justice League and Teen Titans watch from the Hall of Justice. Amanda Waller and her Suicide Squad are also in this issue and a giant King Shark fights Godzilla. There's more but I won't spoil it all here.

Hot Wheels Batman 5-Pack 2024
Today was my lucky day for I found this Hot Wheels Batman 5-pack from 2024 at the local Dollar General. I have not seen this 5-pack at the local Walmart's, so I quickly grabbed this. There are two batmobiles, two villain cars and a cop car. Here's the front featuring all five Hot Wheels die-cast cars:
Here's the back featuring Batman reaching out for you:
Mr. Freeze is represented by the Sir Ominous car with a bluish silver color. The Batman Batmobile has gold look to it. The photos below don't do the paint jobs justice.
The Penguin is represented by the Fast Felion car painted metalflake purple. The Gotham City Police car is painted metalflake gray '11 Dodge Charger R/T (to me it looks brownish).
Finally, there is the chrome Batmobile from 2019.

Both Black Canaries are in their costumes on the cover of issue five. This issue starts off with a flashback of the mother in a hospital bed with her daughter sitting nearby in a chair. In the present, found five of the battle between Lady Shiva and Black Canary starts. Flashback to both Black Canaries in costumes talking after taking down a purse snatcher. There are some great flashback scenes at the hospital. The first being Dinah and Ollie hugging in the waiting room. The second shows her hugging her mom in the hospital room.
The sixth and final issue of Black Canary: Best of the Best mini-series starts with Vandal Savage visiting the young Dinah in the hospital. She tells him that her mother is dying.
