BURBANK, CA, Jan.10, 2022 — In celebration of the upcoming cinematic experience created by director Matt Reeves, the new “The Batman” lifestyle merchandise collection allows fans to channel Batman/Bruce Wayne and Catwoman/Selina Kyle like never before. Today, WarnerMedia Global Brands and Experiences revealed the largest collection of Batman film products in over a decade with premier partners worldwide launching “The Batman” fashion, accessories, beauty products, toys and collectibles inspired by the highly anticipated film. Batman also influenced the latest style statement of the French fashion house Lanvin, who for the first time in the character’s more than 80-year history, has dedicated a collection to DC’s iconic Super Hero and his on-again/off-again antagonist, Catwoman. First seen on the runway during Paris Fashion Week, the collection will be available online and in select Saks Fifth Avenue stores starting March 2 and on saks.com on March 15, in line with the film’s release on March 4 in North America and international release beginning March 2, 2022.
To celebrate the film’s debut, Saks Fifth Avenue’s iconic New York Flagship store will design custom window displays transporting shoppers directly into Reeves’ version of Gotham City. Inside, guests can peruse a bespoke pop-up shop showcasing “The Batman”-inspired apparel from EleVen by Venus Williams, Maison Labiche, and Lanvin as well as accessories, beauty products, toys and collectibles. The exclusive merchandise collection will also be available to shop online on saks.com.

Warner Bros. Consumer Products’ expansive “The Batman” collection features products across multiple categories:
Fashion and Footwear: In collaboration with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC, Lanvin will bring classic character-inspired visuals to the luxury and sophisticated fashions, infinitely reinvented in the spirit of Jeanne Lanvin’s designs. Featuring shades of deep, brilliant blues and purples, Batman and Catwoman’s iconic faces, inspired by the timeless images from the comics, appear on the label’s signature asymmetric shirt, the metal mesh dresses, and the reversible teddy jacket. Accessories also take on saturated colors and Art Deco lines in a Gotham City style, and the Curbs sneakers are stylish like the Batmobile, which also lends its sleek lines to a minaudiere clutch. The characters also appear on new bags, jazzing up the graceful lines of the label’s leather goods.
With something for every fan, other fashion brands capturing ”The Batman” vibe include, for the first time in DC history, a Carhartt partnership with coats, t-shirts, hoodies and pants and TomboyX t-shirts and underwear.
Venus Williams’ lifestyle and fashion-forward activewear brand, EleVen by Venus Williams, will debut an all-new collection inspired by “The Batman.” Designed to evoke the dark streets of Gotham City, EleVen took inspiration from the neon lights, rain-slicked sidewalks, and midnight moonlight. Authentically Batman, the foundation of the collection is monochrome with a touch of red and “handmade” touches like exposed zipper detailing and lace-up eyelets borrowed from the legend himself, who fashioned his own Batsuit. With a nod to Selina Kyle (Catwoman), sexy, rebellious undertones can be seen in studded styles, mesh shirring, and classic wet-look prints in black and white. The collection will be available on EleVenbyVenusWilliams.com, at Saks Fifth Avenue and Tennis Warehouse, and Internationally at Zalando.com.
