It was a no brainer that when DC got into the NFT game Bruce Wayne would be first out of the gate, and head first at that.

Lee:
“While Batman is one of the world’s most iconic Super Heroes, garnering hundreds of millions of fans all around the globe—his appearance has changed and shifted over the past 83 years. What’s exciting about this amazing collaboration is that we are continuing the evolution of his distinctive Bat Cowl by bringing it into the modern digital world, making it accessible and more wildly engaging than ever before. Through the introduction of carefully curated colors, textures, and upgrades—the end results offer a take and taste for every kind of Batman fan out there and serve as powerful ways for all of us to make a timeless icon our very own.”
Each NFT in the Bat Cowl Collection features a distinct identity and set of traits reflecting the diversity of Batman stories and their passionate fans. The new Collection will allow fans to take the first step toward creating their own unique identities in the DC Universe and to unlock rewards that promise to push what’s possible with Web3 experiences, the next big evolutionary leap forward of the internet. In addition, DC plans to integrate the Bat Cowl Collection into future stories from DC.

The Bat Cowl Collection is more than just stunning collectibles. The Collection plans to offer access to a private DC Universe fan forum featuring behind-the-scenes content, select fan events, physical collectibles, merch, and more. A two-year roadmap has been developed, aiming to expand utility for Bat Cowl holders every 52 days in areas such as augmented reality, metaverse integration, and expanded wallet capabilities.
The Bat Cowl Collection will be listed at $300 USD each. Upgrades will be available on nft.dcuniverse.com.
Josh Hackbarth, Head of NFT Commercial Development for Warner Bros.:
“The fast-emerging NFT space allows us to connect with fans in a completely new and innovative way. The Bat Cowl Collection aims to redefine the NFT experience offering up unparalleled opportunities to one of the Studio’s most beloved franchises. Through the best-in-class, fan-first approach to the development of NFTs, we believe the Bat Cowl Collection will allow collectors to deepen their connection with Batman and the DC Universe, while embracing their fandom in the growing metaverse ecosystem.”
Matt Mason, Chief Content Officer of Palm NFT Studio:
“This drop represents a watershed moment for NFTs. The Bat Cowl Collection brings digital social objects to a new audience, showcasing what NFTs can be, what they can do, and how they can be used to tell stories in new ways. The Palm NFT Studio platform is built for brands as iconic as Batman to leverage the magic of Web3, keeping the crypto complexity under the hood to deliver a seamless fan experience in a way that is both environmentally sustainable and scalable.”
Palm NFT Studio was chosen because they can build the infrastructure to match the ambitions of DC, and they led the creative development of the NFTs alongside 3D design studio Daz3D–well known for launching and supporting NFT projects for Non-Fungible People, CloneX by Murakami and RTFKT, and the Friendship Box NFT for Coca Cola–to collaborate on the design, development, and production of the Bat Cowl Collection.
Palm NFT Studio provides bespoke creative services for artists and rights holders building on the Palm network. The Palm network features low gas costs and fast transaction finality.
