Batman Celebrates 85 Years with a Popcorn Bucket That Shines Bright
By August Tales Comics
Gotham’s Dark Knight turns 85 this year, and while there isn’t a new Batman film in theaters, Warner Bros. has something special up its cape. To honor this milestone, they’re re-releasing Matt Reeves’ The Batman in select theaters. But that’s not all—fans will also get a sneak peek into the highly anticipated Penguin series.
Light Up Your Batcave
What’s a Batman celebration without some serious swag? Warner Bros. isn’t just re-releasing a movie; they’re also offering fans a collectible that’s bound to make any Batcave shine. Enter the commemorative Bat Signal popcorn bucket—more than just a vessel for your buttery snacks. This limited-edition bucket actually lights up, making it the perfect addition to your Batman memorabilia.
The bucket is part of AMC Theatres’ Batman 85th anniversary collection and comes with some cool extras. It holds a whopping 85 ounces of popcorn, priced at $34.99 plus tax. If that’s not enough, you can pair it with a 32-ounce lenticular drink cup, filled with your favorite large drink, for an additional $11.99 plus tax. Want both? They’re yours for $44.99 plus tax. But don’t wait—these items are bound to sell out fast.
A Trip Down Batmobile Lane
The celebration doesn’t stop with the popcorn bucket. AMC’s drink cups feature live-action Batmobiles from across Batman’s cinematic history. From the iconic Batmobile of the 1966 series to the Tumbler from The Dark Knight trilogy, and even the muscle car from The Batman, these cups are a must-have for any fan.
If history is any indication, these Bat Signal popcorn buckets will fly off the shelves, so you’ll want to grab yours early. Miss out, and you might find yourself paying sky-high prices on eBay later.
The Ultimate Batman Collectible?
In recent years, we’ve seen some wild collectible buckets—from Dune to Deadpool & Wolverine—but AMC’s Bat Signal bucket might just take the cake as the slickest yet. It’s a perfect piece for any Batman collector, fitting right in with your other Dark Knight treasures.
So here’s to 85 years of Batman—may the Bat Signal continue to light up Gotham for many more.
