Partnership Kicks Off with Limited Edition Batman Cowl Based on Costume from Warner Bros. Pictures’ 1989 “Batman” Film
WESTBURY, N.Y. April 11, 2022 – Denuo Novo LLC, a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Rubies II LLC and National Entertainment Collectibles Association, Inc. (NECA), is proud to announce a new licensing partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products. This new licensing agreement will bring the iconic characters of the DC Universe to the world of high-end collectibles and costumes.
For its first DC product, Denuo Novo has launched the iconic 1989 Batman Cowl from the #1 global box-office hit “Batman.” In creating the perfect cowl, the Denuo Novo team used a digital sculpt, which allowed for every inch to be painstakingly scrutinized and delicately recreated. This process then created the necessary engineering to give consumers an industry first: a cowl with an exact bodily thickness, allowing for a comfortable and extremely durable wearing experience.
Each limited-edition cowl, sequentially numbered to 500, will be cast in a tear-resistant elastomer, hand-finished, hand-seamed and re-stippled to match the original piece. The exclusive few who get to own this collectible will experience a prop that is not only completely finished from the inside-out, but also highly wearable, a cowl befitting of the Caped Crusader himself.
The 1989 Batman Cowl is constructed of platinum silicone and includes a base and stand for display.
This officially licensed, limited edition piece is available for pre-order exclusively at Denuo Novo:
“Batman is one of the best-known and beloved Super Heroes on the planet,” said Joel Weinshanker, managing partner of Rubies, “We are excited to bring DC fans this replica Batman cowl which we know the most discerning collectors will want to proudly display in their homes.”
Denuo Novo seeks to be the single stop for premium quality costume replicas and high-end collectibles. The addition of DC to the Denuo Novo portfolio continues its mission to offer customers the best in high-end products including replica helmets, life-sized statues, and cosplay-quality costumes.
Rubies has been making Halloween costumes for over 60 years while NECA has been a force in the licensed product and collectibles space for over 25 years. Denuo Novo allows the talented designers and product developers from both powerhouse companies to create a new destination for cosplay, replica costumes and high-end collectibles.
