Our favorite caped crusader is turning 85 this year, and that’s an anniversary worth celebrating. That’s right, Batman was first introduced into the comic book world in 1939, making his first appearance in Detective Comics #27 by Bob Kane with Bill Finger. Of course, in the 85 years since then, Batman has come a long way and manifested in many different forms throughout the ages. However, some iconic elements of Batman remain the same no matter what year it is. And it’s this epic imagery that has inspired Loungefly COLLECTIV’s latest line of functional, fannish accessories. Having no powers himself, Batman knows the importance of good gear—and no one will have you and your sidekick/crime-fighting partner better equipped to take on the dark night than Loungefly COLLECTIV‘s Batman 85th Anniversary line.
Let’s take a look at everything that’s on offer in this tremendous new collection.
Loungefly COLLECTIV Batman 85th Anniversary TRAVELR Backpack
We absolutely love Loungefly COLLECTIV’s Batman TRAVELR backpack. As we mentioned above, Batman can’t just rely on his powers to get him out of tough spots. He needs his gadgets and his gear to perform at their utmost for him. But he still needs to look cool—of course. The Loungefly COLLECTIV’s TRAVELR backpack brings this exact blend of utility and Batman style to the table. We bet the Dark Knight would be proud to throw it over his shoulder, and all his fans will love wearing it, too.
In true Batman style, The Loungefly COLLECTIV x Batman 85th Anniversary TRAVELR backpack has a few tricks up its sleeve. It has a multitude of zippered compartments, expandable sizing, and functional pockets for tech and travel. (That’s very important if you’re Batman… or just have a busy day ahead at work.)
We also love how the front-facing portion of the backpack has gorgeous hints of a Batman connection, with yellow trim running down the center and subtle imprints of Batman’s logo all across its surface. Slightly more hidden, in the back of the Loungefly TRAVELR backpack is a more overt version of the iconic Batman logo, now in all its (tastefully stitched) yellow glory. And then, when you get into the heart of the bag, a full wave of fannishness hits hard. “I am Batman,” the interior of the backpack proudly proclaims as it reveals a gorgeous yellow and black print homaging Batman in his different forms. As the official description of the bag notes, “this bag pays tribute to the Caped Crusader in a toned-down look that blends into the shadows while standing out from the crowd.” We’re obsessed.

Loungefly COLLECTIV Batman 85th Anniversary EXECUTIV Bag
Being Batman is a full-time job, but being Bruce Wayne is no picnic either. Outside of his suit, Batman still has a lot on his plate as a high-powered businessman. That means he needs a bag that can serve him in both capacities. It’s too bad Batman doesn’t have Loungefly COLLECTIV to turn to, but happily, you do. Loungefly COLLECTIV’s Batman 85th Anniversary EXECUTIV Bag is the perfect business meets fandom piece. This messenger bag will “rival any hero’s utility belt” and carry your laptop (pens, water bottle, and more) in subtle style that is absolutely perfect for running from an important meeting with executives to an important meeting with the release of your favorite new movie. (Or with your archnemisis, who am I to judge?)
As with the TRAVELR backpack, this bag gets more fabulously fannish as one delves deeper into it. On the outside of this piece, there are a few touches of Batman love. These include some of the excellent yellow Batman trim, the subtle Batman logo pattern, and a truly gorgeous bit of typographical embroidery spelling out “Dark Knight” in very evocative cursive. Once again, the exterior of the bag allows you to blend into the shadows, but catch also allows a glimpse of the fandom fun if you know where to look. And then, in the interior, one’s true identity is revealed as the bright yellow-and-black lining of the bag celebrates Batman (1989), Batman Forever, The Batman, and more.

Loungefly COLLECTIV Batman 85th Anniversary ORGANIZR Accordion Wallet
Sometimes, the best gear comes in a small size. You can’t always bring a shoulder bag to fight the evil in Gotham; it might slow you down. In that case, Loungefly COLLECTIV Batman 85th Anniversary’s line has just the thing for you: an ORGANIZR accordion wallet. Don’t let the size of this piece fool you; it’s every bit as reliable and important as the rest, and it will surely help you prepare for your next mission. (Taking on Joker and/or having exact change for the Gotham Tranit Authority bus.)
As with the rest of the Loungefly COLLECTIV Batman 85th Anniversary line, we love the play on “sleek secret identity” vs. “heroic persona ready to emerge” themes we see in this accessory. The debossed Batman logos that decorate the wallet make it the perfect classy addition to your collection. And the fun-lined interior makes it the perfect fannish addition to your collection. What we’re saying is it’s the perfect addition to your collection.
