Icons Batman's Batarang



Here we have an Ice Batarang, as seen in the movie "Batman & Robin". 

Made by the now defunct company Icons Authentic Replicas, this Batman's Batarang replica is a precise reproduction of an original Batarang used in filming "Batman & Robin".

A master mold was taken directly off of an original used by actor George Clooney in his role as Batman, the Dark Knight of Gotham City. Spun cast in zinc metal and then chrome plated, with a simulated serrated edge, each Batarang is hand assembled under the direct supervision of film and television special effects artisans in the U.S.A.


The black Plexiglas display base features an interesting Mr. Freeze simulated blue-ice background, originally sculpted from a real piece of ice then molded & casted by Icons Fab & Designs Max Cervantes.

An edition of only 500 units were created for Warner Brothers Studio stores back in 1997, this one is number 311, but it is believed that Icons has never made the full run of this Batman's Batarang before they closed their doors forever.


The picture above is an original hand-sketched prototype drawing of the piece, made by Daren Dochterman.


Just above are early COAs for the Batman's Batarang.


Here is a picture provided by Max Cervantes who sculpted the carved ice background !! He sculpted it from real ice and then he took a mold off of the real ice to then be able to cast up the ice background......amazing piece and such a great idea !!!
