Cool Cards: Darknight Detective and The Clown Prince of Crime (Topps Batman 1989)

When the Tim Burton Batman movie was released in 1989, Topps seized on the lucrative opportunity to make cards based on the movie.  Being a Batman fanatic at the time, I snatched up all the cards I could.  And these cards were way cool, featuring not only great screenshots from the movie, but also sweet publicity shots.  So for this first Batman movie Cool Cards entry, I present Darknight (sp?) Detective and The Clown Prince of Crime!


As with many Topps card properties, the first dozen or so cards in the series are character-specific, serving as an introduction to the characters we'll see in the series.  Here we see Batman and the Joker, in all their respective Keaton/Nicholson glory!  And I love that gold oval Batman logo... that really brings back the good ol' days of Batman movies.
