Product Overview
Superman was the first superhero; however, he spawned many more new characters including the Dark Knight, Batman. This 2016 DC Comics Originals coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint is a $20 denomination featuring a selective colour image of Batman, and weighs just over one ounce of pure silver.
The reverse design mimics a comic-book splash page with its engraved rendition of Batman. With arms outstretched and knees bent, Batman fearlessly soars into action against the Gotham City skyline. The application of blue, grey and yellow colouring over the detailed engraving recreate his iconic costume and symbol, while the alternating shades of blue and black add shadowing to his bat-like webbed cape. To the far right, the classic Batman logo is engraved just above the skyscrapers, while a laser halftone pattern adds a modern graphic element in the background that infuses the entirety of the design with a classic comic book feel.
The DC Comics Originals series has a classic, slightly retro style, recalling the look many comic-book fans grew up with and remember fondly. Basing itself on the 1980s DC Comics style, this series celebrates one of the most established looks for the DC Comics pantheon of superheroes, including the Dark Knight himself, Batman. The vintage feel even extends to the packaging. Each coin in the series comes enclosed in unique packaging that recreates the look of a well-loved comic book.
About Batman
As a child Bruce Wayne witnessed the murder of his parents, which led him to train himself physically and intellectually in order to fight crime. Batman resides in Gotham City with his butler Alfred Pennyworth, who knows of his secret identity. Unlike most superheroes, he does not possess any superpowers; he makes use of his intellect, detective skills, science and technology, wealth, physical prowess, and intimidation to win his war on crime. Donning his bat costume enables him to hide his identity.
