Cinemark is celebrating Batman Day 2026 with a new LED Batmobile popcorn container modeled after Adam West’s classic 1966 ride, and it actually projects the Bat-Signal. The bucket goes on sale at select Cinemark locations, with the exact date still to come.
The container is shaped like the fin-tailed 1966 Batmobile from the original Batman television series starring Adam West and Burt Ward, right down to the exhaust pipes and bat emblem on the doors. A built-in LED light projects a glowing Bat-Signal, and the car’s seats double as the popcorn well. Those seats are actually removable, so guests can lift them out to fill the whole cockpit.
We will update this piece as soon as Cinemark confirms pricing and the exact on-sale date. For more on this year’s theater merchandise, visit our Movie Theater Popcorn Buckets guide.
The bucket will be available at select Cinemark locations while supplies last. Cinemark has not said whether the design will expand to additional theaters closer to Batman Day, and no other major chain has announced a matching Batmobile bucket of its own yet. Based on how Cinemark has rolled out past collectible buckets, expect this one to hit theaters a few days ahead of Batman Day itself rather than debuting on September 19, and it would not be surprising to see it listed on the Cinemark Shop online as well. For everything else new in theater collectibles this year, check our Movie Theater Popcorn Buckets guide.
Cinemark has not announced pricing or an exact on-sale date for the bucket. Based on past LED and light-up popcorn bucket releases from major chains, expect it to land in the same general range as other premium collectible buckets, $29.95 to $49.95, and to arrive in theaters a few days before Batman Day on September 19 rather than that day itself. We will update this once Cinemark confirms real numbers.
Cinemark is pairing the bucket with a short run of classic Batman films leading into Batman Day itself:
September 18 brings Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman back to the big screen, starring Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Kim Basinger, and Billy Dee Williams. September 19, Batman Day itself, features The LEGO Batman Movie. September 20 closes things out with Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
