Factory Entertainment is taking pre-orders for another prop replica from The Batman. This time it is the Dark Knight’s grapple launcher.
The prop isn’t seen in detail throughout Matt Reeves’s 2022 adaptation of the iconic DC Comics hero. Thanks to digital assets from Warner Bros., Factory Entertainment has created a remarkable 1:1 replica.
The grapple has some similarities to the device used in Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman. Thankfully, The Batman Grapple Launcher is far more affordable, coming in at only $399.99.
However, unlike the modular ’89 replica, Factory Entertainment’s offer is primarily static. It features “a rotating reel of actual nylon rope and a two-position activation switch.” There is, oddly, no actual grappling hook. Weird.
Although it may not be functional, the grapple does come with a sweet presentation box and individually numbered metal plaque.
The Batman grapple replica is expected to ship this August.
Throughout The Batman, much like in The Dark Knight Trilogy, the Caped Crusader uses mostly reality-based gadgets to fight crime. Since the film focuses on Bruce Wayne’s early career under the cowl, he sometimes fumbles with his tools.
Out of all of his toys, I’d like to see replicas of Batman’s gauntlets and maybe a vial of what I’m pretty sure was Venom. Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight comics showed Bats having to use and getting addicted to the dangerous strength enhancer. This could be a great plot for a follow-up to the Matt Reeves film.
A replica of the new cowl would also be something I’d like to get my hands on. It looks more functional than stylistic in The Batman while also, maybe unintentionally, paying homage to Gotham By Gaslight‘s costume.
