Batman's 70th birthday in May.

What do you think DC should do mark this occasion ?

What kind of collectible would you like to see celebrating his 70 years ?

Not a collectable as such, but I'd like to see Bill Finger finally given credit for co-creation of Batman.

Guess it would be hard to sum up 70 years of a character in one item.

Perhaps some sort of special reprinting of Detective Comics #27

Amen to that, and a Brian Bolland Joker as well....

I'd love to see a figure or a Batman B&W statue based on Norm Breyfogle's art. He was always one of my favorite Batman artists.

Plus, they should cancel all things Batman R.I.P. Horrible storyline that's already been done.

Am suprised that no one's wanted something to represent the initial Batman concept from Bob Kane's original art (ok yes there's good evidence that it was amended tracings)
Dial B for Blog - The Haunting of Robert Kane

and I'm not knocking those other suggestions, but shouldn't a milestone such as this represent the most significant part of Batman. His creation

In addition, I would love a ^^^^ Sprang Batman, Robin, and Joker. Oh, and an oversized typewriter or musical instrument to compliment those figures. (if you want a good idea of what it looks like, check out the episode of the Batman cartoon of the nineties where the three kids are discussing what they think Batman looks like - also a very good representation of the Miller Batman from The Dark Knight Returns with the Carrie Kelly Robin).

I concur. That would be the ^^^^.

I like the idea of Bill Finger finally getting some credit, good suggestion.
Oh yeah, a Neal Adams HT would be pretty sweet too!

I like everyone's suggestions so far but it seems to me that all the figures and statues suggested so far are merchandise that given enough time will come out eventually anyway. I think whatever we get needs to be grander more prestigious.

Why? Superman didn't get ^^^^ for his 70th.

I don't know, maybe cause Bats get more respect from DC and WB when it comes to merchandise, besides didn't Bats just achieve the 2nd highest grossing film of all time?
