There’s a lot of drama in the superverse lately, and no one seems to want to play nice. We’ve seen previews of the Avengers just not being able to get along, and now, it’s the son of Krypton versus the bat of Gotham. Though two powerful heroes duking it out may mean disaster, one thing is for certain: We can’t wait to watch.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters on March 24, and while we’re all trying to decide whether Batman is a hero or a vigilante and if Superman is a god of justice or a dangerous alien, at least we’ll have some fun toys to play with in the meantime. Here are our favorites:
Metals Die Cast Batman v Superman Twin Pack (Jada Toys)
Jada’s Metals Die Cast figures put a cute spin on this serious action-packed adventure. The twin pack includes 4-inch, campy versions of Batman and Superman, with flowing capes, button eyes, big heads, oversized chests, and short and squat legs. Each figure features an adorably aggressive face and fists ready for fighting.
Ages: 8+
MSRP: $19.99
Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, and Armored Batman Statues (DC Collectibles)
Sculpted by James Marsano, each of these 12-inch scale resin collectibles features incredible detail and posing. Standing tall on the Batman v Superman base, both Batman and Superman feature fabric capes with wire lining. This allows collectors to shift and pose the capes to bring fresh movement and life to the statues. Superman prepares for a punch in mid-air, brow furrowed in anticipation. His iconic dark blue suit from the film is complete with metallic detailing and touchable texture. Batman leans in, ready for an attack. His classic grey suit appears weathered and aged, complete with wrinkles at the knees and bunched material at the ankles. Both statues feature bulging muscles at the legs, chest, abs, and arms, perfectly reflecting their on-screen counterparts.
Wonder Woman is the epitome of strength, armed with her lasso of truth, sword, and shield. Her hair flows beautifully beneath her metallic tiara, while her soft, flawless face draws you in. The statue is the perfect depiction of girl power. Armored Batman is a bulked-up statue that is an exact replica of the on-screen suit. With white-out eyes and a combination of roughed-up materials and textures, this “big boned” Batman is strikingly unique.
These figures are certainly not child’s play and are designed with serious collectors in mind.
Ages: 14+
MSRP: $150
Air Hogs Batmobile (Spin Master)
The Batmobile is easily the most iconic superhero vehicle of all time. We’ve seen it undergo many makeovers throughout the years, from convertible hotrod to this year’s low-riding, battle-ready car. Spin Master brings the Batmobile to the playroom floor with the Air Hogs R/C Batmobile. Complete with headlights and taillights, this rough-and-tumble replica glides along with ease. The controls are easy to use with just two basic toggles, and kids can perform some tight turns and sharp spins thanks to the ultra fast response time.
Ages: 8+
MSRP: $59.99

Batman Voice-Changer Helmet (Mattel)
Batman gets a bit of a makeover himself this year when he breaks out his new armored suit. Now, kids can armor-up just like the Caped Crusader with the Batman Voice-Changer Helmet, from Mattel. With light-up eyes and push-button sounds and phrases, kids can put on the mask and speak into it to activate the integrated voice changer to sound just like Batman.
Ages: 4+
MSRP: $29.99
Hot Wheels Batmobile City Chase Track Set (Mattel)
The Batmobile goes mini in Mattel’s new range of Hot Wheels cars based on vehicles from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which even includes the Batwing. Plus, kids can kick their tiny collectible vehicles into high gear with the Batmobile City Chase Track Set. Race the Batmobile through the streets of Metropolis, launch the Batmobile across the bridge, and either hit Superman out of the sky, be smashed off the road by Superman, or make a hairpin turn to avoid Superman and knock down the Daily Planet.
Ages: 4+
MSRP: $19.99
Rock Candy: Batman v Superman Wonder Woman (Funko)
Her name may not be in the movie title, but she’s still mega important. Funko’s new line of Rock Candy vinyl collectibles feature a more animated style than the company’s super popular Pop! Vinyl line. Now they’ve expanded to include Wonder Woman, stylized to reflect her appearance in the film. With oversized eyes and just a hint of a smile, Wonder Woman sports her new muted blue and red ensemble. Also a shining tiara, and ground-stomping over-the-knee boots. Plus, she’s armed for battle with her lasso of truth and iconic wrist cuffs. The clear stand allows her to defend justice on any collector’s desk, shelf, or bookcase.
Ages: 14+
MSRP: $12.99
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Big-Figs (Jakks Pacific)
Kids and collectors can supersize crime-fighting fun with these massive figures from Jakks Pacific. Available in 19 or 31 inches, these figures are affordable and full of hobby-grade accuracy. Both Batman and Superman figures bring the justice-serving superheroes to life with their real fabric capes and intricate face and body detail. Seven points of articulation at the arms, legs, head, and waist allow for lots of posing, including sitting. Just like the on-screen heroes, these figurines are not lacking muscle definition. Each featuring pronounced ab, arm, and leg muscles, strong enough to break through concrete—and each other.
Ages: 3+
MSRP: $19.99 (19 inch), 39.99 (31 inch)

Once it’s complete, this glow-in-the-dark jigsaw challenge reveals the word “Justice” and the bat signal in the sky when the lights go out.
