thx to darkblade for bringing this to my attention.
they say Returns in the article, but obviously mean Begins.
'Batman Returns' to Topps For Cards February 02, 2005
Topps has announced that it has acquired a license from Warner Bros. Consumer Products to produce trading cards based on the DC Comics character Batman. This deal represents a return of the license to Topps, which first produced cards based on Batman nearly four decades ago.
The first product under the license will be a card series based on Batman Returns, which premieres on June 17th. The card series will street on the movie premiere date, an unusual release schedule mandated by Warners in order to keep the movie images that will appear on the cards from appearing prior to the film's release.
A card series based on The Batman animated television series is also in development.

[shadow=red,left,300]I'm happy Topps got the license to do cards based on Begins and The Batman. I'm a nut when it comes to collecting Batman related trading cards, so you can just imagine how this news makes me feel. ;D[/shadow]

It has been a while since a Batman card set was released. I've always enjoyed a new set of cards. It would be cool if they had chase cards with a piece of the costume.

haha your welcome :]
and i wrote to ivc2.com informing the mistake and they replied:
"Tnanks for the update-- Our bad--we were being cute with the return of the license to Topps, and it got out of hand (and made it through two proofers). We've made the correction, and thanks again for helping us out."

Wow... I wonder if the backs of 'em look like the Joker's playing cards from "The Batman" series.
Also, the confirmed villain for "Batman Begins" is the Scarecrow, right?.....................Just wondering.

Absolutely, UltimateRiddler! And there are some human baddies like Carmine Falcone, too...and don't forget the Demon's Head, Ra's Al Ghul - he is in the background as well. Check the TV spot at the official site: www.batmanbegins.com

Sweet, thanks man. I'd heard rumors that it was the Scarecrow. HA! My friends owe me $20 now because I said "Now that all the more... 'famous' villains have been used in the movies (Joker, Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Riddler, Two Face, Poison Ivy) I bet that they'll use the Scarecrow as a villain now." They'd never heard of the Scarecrow before... HA! They thought that it'd be a remake of the jack Nicolson Movie... and that it would feature Harley Quinn in it. So does anyone know if the cards look like the back of the Joker's cards from the Batman series? Thanks wayneson for the site info.

[shadow=blue,left,300]You know how some card sets have limited edition randomly inserted autograph cards? I wonder if the Batman Begins cards will have those? [/shadow]

[/shadow] [shadow=red,left,300]That would be nice. You know how some card sets will have chase cards with a piece of a player's uniform or something, it would be cool if they did something like that with Begins as well. It would be the cheapest and only way I'll ever own a piece of the Batsuit. ;D[/shadow]

[shadow=blue,left,300]Thanks for the scoop Josh. This will probably be my only chance at a Christian Bale autograph. Better start saving because I know I'll be buying lots of packs.[/shadow]

[shadow=blue,left,300]I must say I'm quite anxious for these cards. In the past I've seen all these card sets with autographs and pieces of memorabllia but nothing I wanted other than Dark Angel. Now I have the ultimate card set to look forawrd to.
In regards to The Batman set, maybe creators and voice actors will sign cards.[/shadow]

[shadow=blue,left,300]I have just read that the autograph cards will probably only be offered in "hobby" packs and not "retail".
Does anyone know of a GOOD site to buy/pre-order boxes or cases of "hobby" cards?[/shadow]

[glow=blue,2,300]I didn't even know there was a difference. [/glow] [shadow=blue,left,300]Exactly. I didn't know either until I started to dig up info on these. I've read where sometimes companies will replace auto and relic pieces with tattoos and stickers for the "reatil" version. [/shadow]
