Batman® playing cards
Batman playing cards published by InterCol of London 1989.
Now a vintage collectible item, these Batman playing cards inspired by the iconic film were published by InterCol of London in 1989. The cards feature Michael Keaton as Batman on the kings, Kim Bassinger as Vickie Vale on the queens and Jack Nicholson as the Joker on the jacks. The aces have reversible pictures from the film, most depicting Bat vehicles. The jokers have reversible photos of the main characters. The reverse of the cards is the Batman logo
The late 1980s saw a massive wave of pop culture merchandise tied to entertainment franchises, with blockbuster films like Batman dominating. This version of the movie has a darker tone compared to those produced in earlier decades, which can be noted in these cards.
