New Batman 85th Anniversary Deck

[jg772010]

I love the fact that you guys are releasing a new deck of cards, dedicated to the history of Batman. As someone who collects your deck of cards, and is a HUGE Batman fan (I LOVE the "Dark Knight Trilogy" deck) ... I do kinda wanna be spoiled right out of the gate.

Is there any chance you could tell me who is featured on the face cards & all. I'm trying to piece them all together with some of the cards you've shown already, and I think I got half of them right.

Let me know please, and I look forward to getting this deck soon.

Thanks ... Im gonna be ordering this deck real soon, either here or once it hits AMAZON.
Thanks for telling me the court cards. I was curious about it, and trying to piece them all together.

I hate to say this, but I’m a little disappointed in this deck. Card stock, tuck case, backs of cards all great, but very little “history“. There‘s only one card that mentions 1939, and it’s one of the optional cards (not sure what to call those). No TV series bad guys?? The queens could have all been different Cat Woman, from Eartha Kitt through to modern, but no. No Riddler?

I’m little scared to compare the 85th Anniversary deck to the prior Dark Knight deck, as I think maybe only the back design changed. IMHO, not T11‘s best work.

So one Joker is identical between the Dark Knight and Batman 85 decks, the Heath Ledger Joker. There‘s a minor similarities in the Crown cards, but overall different. Aces are different as well.

I’m still disappointed with the lack of pre-Adam West TV show history though. Even for the TV show no Julie Newmar, Frank Gorshin, Burgess Meredith, Cesar Romero, etc. No Detective Comics #27 reference (would have been a good Ace).
