Batman, Wolverine And Christmas Truce Coins In The Works.

It looked sort of like the Christian Bale version in bat man begins only with bigger arms and meaner looking lol.

There is a picture of that version here: go down to the picture that says "The Batsuit, worn by Christian Bale".

Sweet thanks for the info Northerncoins!

I could not figure out the connection Batman has with Canada. Wolverine, yes, because the character is supposed to come from Canada.

Hmm good question, too bad I cant remember more of the details of the survey but they talked about the Justice league and those hero's as well, Not sure how Batman is tied into all that but it is Batman's 75 anniversary this year. Maybe its a DC commissioned coin or some such...

One could argue that the Canadian Mint is better than the US Mint. At the very least is more experienced in making a larger variety of coins including colored ones. That being said, it is not outside the realm of possibilities that DC Comics commissioned (or rather will commission) the Canadian Mint to make some US Batman coins (US coins, as in US face value). The Canadian Mint has had (at least as far as I can tell) a positive experience with DC in making the Superman coins. It is not the first time that the Canadian Mint has made coins for countries other than Canada.

All of this, of course, is pure speculation on my part.

This can't happen. no mint other than the US Mint can strike US coins. It does so by order of the US Congress not private commissions.

@commems, thanks for the information. I was not aware of this.

@ogn_kram, at least Star Trek does have a Canadian connection. Captain Kirk aka William Shatner is from Montreal.
