Commemorating the First DC Super-Villain Created with Fans!

In celebration of Batman’s 85^th anniversary, Candy Digital and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products are launching all-new DC digital collectibles, The Legacy Cowls Collection.  Releasing Friday, March 29^th on the Candy Digital Platform, this new digital collectible experience, based on Batman: The Legacy Cowl, the first original DC comic on the blockchain, commemorates a milestone in comic book history: the introduction of a new DC Super-Villain.

The Legacy Cowls Collection features 3D collectibles, with artwork based on Batman: The Legacy Cowl comic art created by DC artist Pablo M. Collar. By collecting a Legacy Cowl, fans can join the Candy DC NFT community and unlock exclusive experiences on the Candy Digital platform. 

“Candy has built a web3 platform that engages fans to create their place in the DC Super Hero universe. Through voting, fans contributed to the creation of the first DC comic on the blockchain and introduced a brand-new Super-Villain. With the launch of The Legacy Cowls, we’re excited to empower fans to begin to play in the world that they’ve helped shape,” said Candy Digital CEO, Scott Lawin.

This summer marks the two-year anniversary of the launch of the DC NFT community where Bat Cowl Collection holders voted to create and shape the direction of an original comic book series in collaboration with DC artists and writers. Spanning 57 votes and 3 chapters, Batman: The Legacy Cowl, culminated with the origination of a new DC Super-Villain.  DC Bat Cowl holders participated in comic book voting, contributing to key decisions including titles, dialogue, and character development, while generating over 8 million impressions for the project. To date, DC digital collectible holders have spent over 400,000 hours on in-world engagements.

The Legacy Cowl Collection will be available beginning Friday, March 29 at 12 p.m. ET on the Candy Digital platform. For more information, please visit https://go.candy.com/Legacy_Cowls_Drop.
