Article Summary

  • Batman #1 remains a landmark Golden Age comic, debuting the Joker and Catwoman while expanding Batman mythology.
  • McFarlane Toys revives Golden Age Batman with a new DC Multiverse Red Platinum Edition based on Batman #1.
  • The classic Batman figure features a gray-and-black suit, updated sculpt, fabric cape, batarang, and extra hands.
  • GameStop exclusive Batman pre-orders are in-store only for $26.99, with an online and retail release expected in June 2026.

Batman #1 is one of the most historic comic books ever published because it established many defining elements of Batman's mythology. Released in 1940, the issue introduced two of Batman's greatest enemies: the Joker and Catwoman. Unlike earlier detective-focused appearances, this comic expanded Batman's world with more theatrical adventures filled with mystery, danger, and psychological conflict. The comic also highlights Batman's detective skills, gadgets, and the Caped Crusader's origins. McFarlane Toys is now turning back the clock as they unveil a new Red Platinum Edition DC Multiverse figure. 

The Batman #1 Dark Knight figure will be a GameStop exclusive, available for pre-order in-store only. He is featured in his classic gray-and-black batsuit and will have an updated sculpt and a new fabric cape. The figure will include a variety of swappable hands, a batarang, a collectible art card, and a display base. Collectors will want to check their local GameStop stores to pre-order theirs for $26.99 and expect an online and in-store drop around June 2026.
