The collectibles are said to be based on Batman’s 83-year history in the comic book field. The unique NFTs are set to be released next month, and fans will see 3D-rendered images of the iconic caped superhero’s more than eight decades chronicle.

The nonfungible tokens (NFTs) will be priced at $300 apiece, meaning DC and Warner Bros. are looking at landing $60 million from the drop.

DC Comics and Palm NFT Studio’s Bat Cowl Collection will be put up in the market starting April 26. Each copy of the Batman NFTs will be sold for $300 each, so DC and Warner Bros. are estimated to make millions from it.

DC publisher and chief creative officer Jim Lee weighed in on the development announced at the ongoing NFT LA Conference.

He said that “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.”
