New Bat-signal Popcorn Bucket Celebrates 85 Years of Batman

As a lifelong Batman fan who can still vividly remember the thrill of seeing Michael Keaton swing into Gotham for the very first time, this latest announcement from AMC Theatres has sent my heart racing faster than the Batmobile! The thought of owning a light-up Bat Signal popcorn bucket that’s as close to the real deal as we can get outside of Wayne Manor is almost too good to be true.


2023 signifies an 85-year anniversary of Batman’s debut in Detective Comics #27 with DC Comics. Regrettably, there won’t be a new Batman film gracing movie screens to celebrate his significant birthday, but Warner Bros. is reintroducing Matt Reeves’ The Batman to theaters for a short period, exclusively at AMC Theatres. As an added treat, this re-release comes with a unique promotional item: a Bat Signal popcorn bucket that illuminates! Ideal for display in your very own Batcave, once you bring it home. Check out the images and read the official announcement from AMC below.

On August 28th, coinciding with Batman’s 85th anniversary, AMC Theatres introduces its Batman 85th Popcorn Collectible Concession Vessel (CCV). This high-quality popcorn bucket, shaped like the iconic Bat Signal and holding approximately 85 ounces, illuminates to attract the Caped Crusader. It comes with a large serving of popcorn priced at $34.99 plus tax. Additionally, there’s a 32-ounce lenticular drink cup featuring moving images, sold with a lid and a large drink for $11.99 plus tax. While supplies last, you can grab both items bundled together for just $44.99 plus tax.

To mark the 85th anniversary of Batman, a special Popcorn Bucket shaped like the Bat-signal will be unveiled! This launch coincides with the re-release of ‘The Batman’ on August 28. (via: @Juan_Chano2810)

This cup for your drink features various depictions of different live-action Batmobiles, starting from the one in “Batman ’66”, progressing to the Tumbler from the “Dark Knight Trilogy”, and up to the modified muscle car from “The Batman”. The Bat Signal popcorn bucket that AMC Theaters is selling is expected to sell out quickly. To avoid paying a high price for it on eBay later, consider visiting your theater early. Recently, some exceptionally unique popcorn buckets have been released, like those for “Dune” and “Deadpool & Wolverine”. However, this Batman Bat Signal bucket might be the most stylish one yet. It would make a great addition to your collection of Batman memorabilia.
