The Big Picture

A famous superhero clothing company has partnered with an iconic hero to bring the world a jacket unlike any other. Heroes and Villains has officially launched a new DC Gotham City Guardian Work Jacket which features embroidered patches on the chest, pocket, and arms, two snap-chest pockets, a drawstring hood with Sherpa lining, and a shoulder-to-shoulder Bat symbol patch with raw edge stitching. The jacket is one of the nicest pieces of Batman merch on the market, and the price reflects that, as it retails for a whopping $140. Other accessories for the jacket include internal hidden zipper and velcro pockets, a full snap front with hidden front zip, 100% Polyester Sherpa fleece lining, internal ribbed sleeve cuffs composed of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, with bungee cord hems and elbow patches.
Batman is up there in the top tier of heroes with Spider-Man as the most popular comic book figures of all-time; The Dark Knight and the Web Head are most definitely in a tier of their own. When a character reaches this level of popularity, there’s no shortage of merchandise, toys, and collectibles that go along with that. If you go to a Hot Topic store or the graphic t-shirt section of a Target, chances are you’re going to see Batman and Spider-Man merchandise. The best live-action Batman recently received a new Hot Toys figure, and his butler/assistant Alfred Pennyworth also has a new Macfarlane Toys collectible to call his own.
When Is the Next Batman Movie?
Unfortunately for fans of The Caped Crusader, it appears it’s going to be quite some time before Batman makes another appearance on the big screen. As of now, the only confirmed release date for a Batman project is The Batman Part 2 starring Robert Pattinson frrom director Matt Reeves. The film is currently slated for an October 2026 release, but that could be subject to change due to the fact it’s still two years away. James Gunn also has a Batman film for the DCU currently in development; Batman: The Brave and the Bold, but it is still in early development and casting has not yet begun, meaning it is likely several years away, at best.
The Heroes and Villains Gotham City Guardian Work Jacket is now available for purchase, and can be ordered here. Check out the images of the coat above and stay tuned to Collider for future updates on all superhero merchandise.
