Pounce on your chance to lick Batman.

"Today Batman is more relevant than ever and his popularity continues to expand, reaching the generations to come in the next 75 years and beyond," Jim Lee, comic-book artist and co-publisher of DC Entertainment, said in a statement.

Lee has a point. Batman mania is still strong, particularly with Fox's Gotham in the fall TV cycle and the Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice film currently in production.
