Lladró unveils a limited edition of Batman for the 85th anniversary of DC’s mythical superhero
April 2024_ Lladró, the Spanish high craft porcelain brand, unveils its first interpretation of Batman to coincide with the 85th anniversary of the legendary superhero. Thanks to a collaboration agreement between Lladró and Warner Bros-Discovery Global Consumer Products, Gotham City’s mythical caped crusader, who made his debut in Detective Comics in 1939, is now available in the market in a limited edition of 500 units. The Dark Knight, alter ego of the multimillionaire Bruce Wayne who turns into the protector of Gotham City at night, is the focus of this new Lladró creation.
This version of Batman, handcrafted at the Lladró workshops in Valencia, recreates in minute detail the iconic superhero who trusts in his superior intellect and in technology to fight crime. Inspired by bats to create his famous costume, Batman wears a cape imitating bat wings, a mask that covers most of his face and the bat symbol on his chest, as well as sophisticated gadgets, like his famous utility belt.
Batman in black matte porcelain stands out for the precision of the sculptural work and the decoration combining glazed and matte finishes in black with touches of golden luster. Batman captures the dynamism of the character, with his cape blowing in the wind as he perches on one of the iconic gargoyles of the roofs of Gotham City, about to jump into action in defense of justice. One of the most emblematic superheroes of all-time is now introduced by Lladró in a limited edition of 500 units, ready to conquer the hearts not just of Batman fans but also of countless lovers of icons of popular culture.
