Batman Party Ideas

Batfavors, Batgifts and Batdecorations

There are important philosophical questions to consider. Like what if aliens invaded Earth and forced everyone to wear liederhosen? I don't think I could do it. I just can't wear leather pants.

What if a car crashed through the wall right this second? That would be inconvenient, annoying, stressful and misery inducing. And I could even get hit with a car.

Or what is the best batfavor?

Obvious Options for Favor Bags

With millions of Batman toys, candy and ephemera on the market, there is no shortage of options. My advice: Don't just buy the Bat, buy the Bat you like. It's better to get one or two nice things than a bag of so-so stuff.

A comic and a little toy are ideal. Candy's not right for everyone. Some people can't and some people don't. You can get a good quantity of comic books for an affordable price from e-bay or at a comic book store back issue sale.

Riddler's Boxes

Strive for a detail everyone will look at and say, 'How did you think of that?' Give guests a memory to instagram like Riddler clues.

The Riddler party game. Take green boxes and draw question marks on them. Fill each box with a riddle. Then have guests compete to solve the most. Give a prize to the winner.

POW

In the world of Batman 66, any object could be conceal a nozzle ready to release gas or a small explosion ready to poof out confetti. Create an element of surprise (a safe explosion). If this is at your house or if you're a guest of someone you like, skip the confetti. Just skip it. Fill little balloons with helium and fill the box.

Create onomatopoeia. Take cardboard and paint pows, bam, boffs and decorate the party.

Rogue's Gallery

Batman keeps trophies of his victories over his villains. Collect little trinkets representing each villain or batcave trophy.

This doesn't need to break the budget. A resource like Oriental Trading or Art Beads could provide you with plenty of creative symbols. For the over achievers, there are options like Shapeways where you could crafty your own piece for the bag.

Go on Amazon and get a pack of evidence bags to make it look like your handing out Gotham Police Department evidence.

Be the Bat

The gift of a batmask is the gift that keeps on giving. No one's life cannot be made a little better by the addition of a batmask. My glasses make a batmask hard because I can't wear it without being blind. I have batshirts and necklaces.

Decorate the party with a batcave theme. Hang bats from the ceiling. Get a giant penny, a tyrannosaurus rex pinata (Don't worry about the age. Have fun and get a pinata.) Make a giant Joker card.
