Scary DC Comics Collectibles for Halloween (and Beyond)
From the alleys of Gotham City to the inferno of Apokolips, the DC Comics Multiverse can be quite a scary place. Some of its most famous heroes, antiheroes, and vigilantes even prefer to operate at night. The shadows are safer for those with inner and outer demons to battle.
And who could forget the DC villains? Batman’s Rogues Gallery is practically a revolving door into Arkham Asylum (and vice versa). Plus, only the mightiest of super-villains could hope to be a match for the likes of Wonder Woman and Superman. In the spirit of the season, let’s summon the forces of Darkseid and take a look at the spookiest DC collectibles this side of Belle Reve.
Zatanna: Mistress of Magic Fine Art Print
Who said heroes can’t dabble in the dark arts? Zatanna, the magician extraordinaire of the Justice League, knows how to wield her words for maximum effect. With a carefully constructed spell, she can render an enemy completely helpless and undo the trickiest of evil plans. Beneath all the smoke and mirrors of her act, Zatanna leaves anyone who crosses her tongue tied. John Keaveny’s Zatanna: Mistress of Magic Fine Art Print brings her to life with an alluring vintage flair. But whatever you do, hctaw ruoy htuom!
Batman Designer Collectible Statue
In his eternal mission to embody vengeance, Bruce Wayne adopted the symbol of the bat. For him, the bat represented childhood trauma. For his enemies, the bat is a reckoning. You can bring home that same vengeful spirit with Jesse Hernandez’s Batman Designer Collectible Statue from Unruly Industries™. Urban Aztec infuses his signature Indigenous style into Batman’s namesake, creating a statue that will terrify anyone who dares defy the Bat.
Scarecrow Premium Format™ Figure
People always say, there’s nothing to fear but fear itself… Is that supposed to be comforting with someone like Dr. Jonathan Crane lurking around? As Scarecrow, Dr. Crane weaponized fear itself. His gases could bring the bravest hero to their knees, overcome by visions of personalized terror. The Scarecrow Premium Format Figure captures this villain’s nightmarish power in grotesque detail. Even an undead Robin is trying to escape from the figure’s graveyard base!
Manta Knife Prop Replica
Some families pass down necklaces or rings, but that’s not the case for Black Manta. David Kane, the sworn enemy of Aquaman, inherited a diver’s knife from his father, Jesse Kane. When he fought during WWII, his fellow soldiers nicknamed him Manta for his stealth. With his father’s weapon in hand, David forged a new identity: Black Manta. This Manta Knife Prop Replica by Factory Entertainment, as seen in Aquaman (2018), lets its owner uphold a dark, tragic legacy. The knife’s blade is engraved with a Manta symbol, making this weapon the perfect addition to any aspiring super-villain’s arsenal.
Batman Vengeance (4) LED Mini-Poster Light
While we’re on the subject of arsenals, maybe your Bat-Cave is missing that final touch. Something to elevate it from collectibles gallery to bonafide, super-fan collection. The Batman Vengeance (4) LED Mini-Poster Light by Brandlite will cast a crimson glow on all your treasured items. On their own, your favorite collectibles shine. But with this LED poster light, they’ll be ready to impress all the time.
The Joker Bust
There’s regular insanity and then there’s The Joker-level insanity. One of the most enduring and affecting portrayals of Batman’s archenemy is from Heath Ledger’s turn as The Joker in The Dark Knight. The Joker Bust by Prime 1 Studio captures Ledger’s haunting version of the Clown Prince of Crime on a lifelike 1:3 scale. Greasy curls of green hair and accentuated shoulders frame a chilling portrait of the chaotic super-villain. His grisly slash of a mouth looks ready to let loose a joke — just make sure all the pencils are out of reach.
The Birth of Batman Fine Art Print
Without the ghosts of his childhood haunting his every move, Batman would not be half the hero he is today. Few DC heroes are more troubled by their pasts than Bruce Wayne. In The Birth of Batman Fine Art Print by Allen Williams, these ghosts are let loose from the earth as they envelop the Caped Crusader’s shadowed silhouette. Batman overlooks his parents’ grave, no doubt overcome by grief and turmoil. The ghosts of one’s past are a grim reminder that we can’t escape our beginnings.
King Shark 1:10 Scale Statue
First of all, whose leg is that?! Second, this Suicide Squad member might not be plotting world domination in his spare time but you really don’t want to get caught between his teeth. He’ll smell your delicious blood from miles away and make you wish you never laughed at a shark in trunks. The King Shark 1:10 Scale Statue by Iron Studios takes Nanaue straight out of his cell in Bell Reve and into your collection, ready to take a bite out of whoever looks tastiest. Nom nom.
DĂa de los Muertos Bonus Item: Harley Quinn Calavera
After Halloween, there’s always room for more celebration! If you observe DĂa de los Muertos or if you have an appreciation for pop culture-themed calaveras, then check out the Harley Quinn Calavera by Jose Pulido and Unruly Industries. This sugar skull-inspired Harley would be right at home on an ofrenda or in a display alongside The Joker Calavera and the Batman Calavera. With her mallet in hand, there’s no question whether Harley is ready to crack some skulls.
