Out of the darkness, the DC collection calls forward the stark symbols that represent the Super Heroes you love and what they stand for. Perfect for the DC fan in all of us, these high quality silicone rings are precisely what you need and are great as a gift.

I recently received some samples of the new DC collection of silicone rings from Enso Rings, and I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised.

The collection includes three rings based on superheroes from the DC Universe — Superman, Batman, and The Flash.

At first, I wasn’t sure how I would like them, as I’ve never worn a silicone ring. I’ve worn different metal rings, including a wedding ring and a Green Lantern ring, but silicone was never one that crossed my mind as a legitimate option. But after trying these on and wearing them for awhile, I don’t think I would want anything other than silicone for any future rings.

I’ve had issues with most metal rings I’ve worn, mainly because they’re just uncomfortable. I need a ring that is rounded on all the edges, and you get that with these. Enso rings are super comfortable, and the silicone provides a bit of stretch, which is great for when your fingers inevitable swell for whatever reason. They are easy to put on and take off, and you barely even know they’re there.

They also have a simple, yet great design, showcasing the symbol and key colors for each of the three featured members of the Justice League. Batman gets a black pearl band with yellow topaz inlay, Superman gets a sapphire blue band with ruby red inlay, and The Flash gets a ruby red band with gold inlay — and they are all gorgeous

SUPERMAN SILICONE RING

Fight for truth and justice. Wear the symbol of hope with our DC Collection Superman ring in commanding DualTone, encouraging strength and commitment to doing what’s right. Keep The Man of Steel’s mark close. And when you think you can protect your world by yourself, friends aren’t far who’ll join the cause.

BATMAN SILICONE RING

Darkness before the dawn. Our all new DC Collection Batman ring in striking DualTone made in the Rockies. Inspired by The Dark Knight to ignite your style.

THE FLASH SILICONE RING

Quick! Get your favorite speedster’s symbol on this ring. Our DC Collection Flash ring is featured in a vibrant DualTone, true to the iconic colors.

While they are great rings, there are a couple of small downsides for me. Being silicone, they can’t be resized, so if your ring size changes, you may be out of luck. And the other issue I have is the lack of female hero representation. While I love The Flash, if they’re only going to have three designs available, it should’ve been the DC Trinity — Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

My hope is that they expand their collection in the future and bring in heroes like Wonder Woman and Green Lantern, and maybe even some villains like Harley Quinn, Reverse Flash, and the various other Lantern Corps.

You can order yours today right HERE, and with a modest price point of $114.99 for the 3-Set, you can’t go wrong!

The impact that Superman has had on popular culture cannot be overstated. He was the first super-powered costumed crimefighter, and the one that started it all. Whether you’re a fan or not, love him or hate him you have to respect him. Without The Man of Steel there may be no DC Comics, or even DC Comics News for that matter!

The success of Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and all the other DC Superstars may not have been possible without Action Comics #1 and the debut of Superman.

This is a a superhero who’s known and loved the whole world over and one of only three fictional characters who’s had new stories created about him for over eighty consecutive years! That’s a super achievement, if ever there was one.

Worlds collide when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Superheroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for. Ultimately, to save the
world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?

The Flash zooms into theaters on June 16, 2023.

I was able to get my hands on a pair of the Joker Club C 85 shoes and the DC x Reebok logo hoodie.

First off, they both look great! The material of the hoodie is just right. Not too thick, not too thin. The fit was pretty much near perfect, which, for me, was a small. So I recommend going with the size you normally buy. It is made well and does not feel cheap. This is a very high quality garment and is super comfortable.

I really like the retro feel of the character images the used for sleeves (which you can see below).

The shoes also fit nicely and were very comfortable.  I barely needed any time to break them in. The color scheme’s tasteful and the Joker branding isn’t overbearing (a simple image on the shoe tongue). These shoes feel more like hip street wear than kiddie shoes. They whisper madness, instead of screaming it, and it works, even when focusing on an over-the-top character like the Joker.

For my taste, I didn’t find any negatives. Some of you may find these items a little too understated. If you want something a bit more flamboyant, this line may not be for you. And you may have a little trouble finding something to go with purple shoes. Other than that, this line is a can’t miss!

Our Editor-in-Chief, Josh Raynor, also received a few items from the great people over a Reebok, and will share his thoughts below.

————————–

I was so grateful to get a couple pairs of shoes from this incredible new line from Reebok. They sent over the Superman Shaq Attaq Basketball Shoes and the Batman LX 2200 Running Shoes.

I absolutely loved the Superman shoes. As someone with wider feet, they provided the perfect fit and comfort that I wanted in a shoe. As Brad previously stated, this line of apparel is very understated, and not super showy, which I liked, and these shoes were no different, as they utilize a grey color scheme with pops of red, yellow, and blue.

The Superman Shaq Attaq shoes are a high top-style basketball shoe and provide great ankle support, as well as the right amount of cushioning for your feet. They include a pump bubble with the Superman logo on the tongue, and the Shaq and Man Of Steel logos on the backs.

I highly recommend this shoe for anyone looking for something that will provide deep comfort for your feet.

The other pair I received was the Batman LX 2200 running shoes.

Now, while I liked the look of these, I don’t think they screamed Batman quite enough, or, at least, not in the right ways. They are mostly black, with a bit of tan and grey. They include the Bat logo on the tongue, but also have laces covers that resemble Batman’s armor. And while these are cool in concept, I don’t think they serve the shoe functionally in any positively useful way. But they are removable, so if they aren’t working for you, you can go without them.

As far as the shoes themselves go, they have a nice cushion feel, which is important for a running shoe. However, they are a bit narrow for my taste, since, as previously stated, I have wider feet. So, they end up feeling a bit too tight to be comfortable. But, if you don’t have wide feet, and you’re looking for a new running shoe, I would suggest giving these a try.

You can also check out my unboxing video for the Superman and Batman shoes below.

Reebok’s tasteful line of DC-themed gear is perfect for the hip nerd. Understated just enough to show your fandom, and still fit in at the club.

Following the events of Batman: Arkham Origins, Mr. Freeze launches a surprise attack on Gotham. However, Batman is prepared with a new Batsuit made for extreme conditions.

Based on the extended story “Cold, Cold Heart” from Batman: Arkham Origins, the figure by Hot Toys features a new highly detailed, masked Batman head. The muscular body has over 30 points of articulation with enhanced movement and is clad in a weathered, silver-gray Batman XE Suit with a utility belt, plus a cape with a wired hem for posing.

The Batman (XE Suit) 1/6 Scale Figure comes with a variety of signature weapons including a Cryodrill with alternate display modes, a rope gun, and Batarangs. The themed figure stand includes such diorama accessories as an ice crystal, a stair rail, and a staircase to recreate scenes from the game.

Batman emerges from exile as a new threat looms over Gotham. Born in darkness and self-appointed as a “liberator of pain,” Bane is a dangerous adversary who will challenge Batman — both physically and mentally.

Inspired by The Dark Knight Trilogy, the Bane 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure has a new hand-painted head sculpt, featuring an expertly crafted likeness of Tom Hardy as Bane with a fully sculpted mask. The figure also utilizes Hot Toys’ innovative rolling eyeball technology, giving collectors the ability to adjust the figure’s gaze when posing it for display. His costume is faithfully recreated and includes a tailored coat and jacket over a combat vest.

The beautifully tailored jacket provides the option to recreate his look from the original movie poster, while over 20 points of articulation and seamless elbows allow for a variety of poses. The Bane 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure also comes with Batman’s shattered cowl and an underground sewer diorama base to recreate iconic scenes.

Take control of Gotham with the Bane 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure by Hot Toys. Available to pre-order from Sideshow.

POWER BORN FROM RAGE! HOT TOYS’ BLACK ADAM REVEALED!

The post Hot Toys Reveals Three New Epic Black Adam Figures appeared first on DC Comics News.

In the 80s the toy market was the most competitive and toy makers were looking for the most enduring franchise that they could build upon. The most popular action figures on the shelves were raised to new levels of popularity with their own animated series that played as an encapsulated toy commercial much to the bane of parents all across the country. There was one particular line that perhaps didn’t have to go that far to gain its appeal, and it had proven a television-ratings winner as a Saturday Morning Cartoon for decades.

When Kenner Toys (the proprietors of the Star Wars franchise) was looking to compete against the likes of Mattel’s Masters of the Universe, Hasbro’s The Transformers, and G. I. Joe: A Real American they set their sites on the time-tested DC Comics Universe and unleashed the SUPERS POWERS Collection of 3 ¾ inches action figures! Each figure in the premiere line-up was an authentically detailed reproduction of everyone’s favorite Super Friends, and cleverly articulated a “superpower” that matched the hero they represented!

Superman had a super-powered punch, The Flash moved his legs to simulate a running action, The Joker swung his madcap mallet, and Wonder Woman crossed her bracelets to deflect enemy fire! Each figure came perfectly packaged in a bright blue, red, and yellow blister card with a collectible card and exclusive comic book adventure. They also featured accessories like Aquaman’s trident and The Penguin’s deadly umbrella that revealed a sharp sword for defense. The initial line of Super Power action figures was a best seller and prompted two additional lines before it was discontinued.

Relive the 80s! SUPER POWERS are back!

Check out the SUPERMOBILE...

...and the BATWING with movable actions.

Now, 40 years later, adult collectors can appease their nostalgia as toy designer Todd McFarlane’s McFarlane Toys resurrects the SUPER POWERS Collection. Paying homage to what had come before, McFarlane Toys which currently owns the license to produce DC-related action figures, accessories, and collectibles to the mass market, in a partnership with Walmart is making the first three figures in the line inspired by their predecessor to include Superman, Batman, and the evil New God Darkseid. The figures are in a classic 4” scale and will feature the anticipated 5 points of articulation.

Though Superman is modeled in a contemporary deco of the 80s original, Darkseid is the exception designed to match the villain’s “New 52” look, while Batman is also recast in the Jim Lee-inspired look from “Hush”. Along with the proper accessories, the figures are also fitted to scale play in a striking Batwing assault flier, and Supermobile designed to protect the Man of Steel in the event he needs a boost of power! Both vehicles feature unique weaponry to extend the gameplay. So far, these are the only current releases in the line, but more will undoubtedly follow.

Mcfarlane Toys SUPER POWERS Collection is available at Walmart. Visit McFarlane.com for more details.
