How much is first class to Gotham City? Royal Mail unveil latest series of stamps featuring Batman and his allies and foes

Royal Mail has created a new set of 18 DC Comics-themed stamps featuring Batman, his allies and super-villains.

All stamps, which will be available for purchase later in September, have been illustrated by British comic book artist Jim Cheung and colourist Laura Martin.

Royal Mail worked in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, for the images on the stamps. 

The 12 stamps in the main set feature Batman, his sidekick Robin, his butler Alfred and other allies including Batwoman, Batgirl and Nightwing, while the villains include The Joker, Harley Quinn, The Penguin, Poison Ivy, Catwoman and The Riddler.

A further six stamps, presented in a miniature sheet, celebrate the Justice League, and include Batman, Green Lantern and The Flash, Wonder Woman, Superman, Cyborg and Aquaman, Supergirl, and Shazam!

DC Comics first introduced the character of Batman in 1939, and the brooding, mysterious vigilante went on to become one of the publisher's most popular creations.

The Justice League, originally consisting of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter, first appeared together under that name in 1960.

The full set of 18 stamps, available in a Presentation Pack, retails at £16.20.

The stamps and a range of collectible products are available to pre-order online from Royal Mail from September 1, and go on general sale from September 17.

Matt Parkes, Director Stamps & Collectibles, Royal Mail, said: 'Generations have grown up, spellbound by the adventures and the personalities of these Super Heroes and Super-Villains.

'These illustrations detail each character with such vivid imagery that they look ready to leap out of the stamp!'
