"With these deals, we know that two of our most important tentpole films for 2008, Speed Racer and The Dark Knight, will be brought to life through products created by the most creative toy designers in the world."

Mattel's The Dark Knight line will be inspired by a new Batsuit, a new vehicle in the form of the Batpod and multiple key action scenes. Mattel's action figure line will feature Batman and the new Batsuit. Tyco R/C vehicles bring to life the speed and action of the Batmobile and the new Batpod. An entire line of action play items will allow boys to role-play being The Dark Knight. Mattel will release a line of games and puzzles that will capture the film action through board games, puzzles and a special-edition UNO card game.

"Batman is an incredible franchise, and we are really excited about taking it to the next level with The Dark Knight," said producer Charles Roven. "Along with the Batmobile we are introducing a new vehicle, the Batpod, a new Batsuit and some classic characters in The Joker and Harvey Dent. We are confident that fans around the world will enjoy the increased action and the continuation of a great story and we hope they appreciate the integrity and respect we've shown for this iconic character."
