DC Comics launched the presale of its new Bat Cowl non-fungible token (NFT) collection in collaboration with Palm NFT Studio, which would allow buyers to vote on the storyline, characters, and art of a future Batman comic.
They'll also get access to special merchandise and collectibles, as well as special access and benefits at DC fan events and early access to future DC NFT collections.
Jim Lee, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer at DC, said that the amazing collaboration will continue the evolution of his distinctive Bat Cowl by bringing it into the modern digital world, making it accessible and more wildly engaging than ever before.
There are a total of 200,000 unique Bat Cowl NFTs available, each costing $300. The amount of NFTs that drop in a single batch is extremely enormous by NFT standards, with normal issuances of 10,000 to 20,000. Buyers will be able to list Bat Cowls on the DC NFT Universe secondary marketplace starting in May.
Previously, various smaller DC Universe NFT sets at more inexpensive prices were released. VeVe Digital Collectibles issued various Batman NFT sets under license in early April, with prices ranging from $40 to $90 depending on rarity. To promote their virtual DC FanDome conference, DC gave away free NFTs of digital comic book covers in September.
