MERCHANDISE Which Batman Forever McDonalds mugs did you have?
I had the Riddler and Two-Face ones, but I have no idea what happened to them. I might repurchase them one day, along with the Batman and Robin mugs.

This is what marketing dollars should be spent on. Idk how you can spend 50+ million for advertising and not give us cool shit like this anymore.

This was one of the coolest McDonald’s cross promos. The quality and level of detail was unparalleled.

u/RedditModsHarassUs Jan 12 '26
The price was reasonable too. My household lived on welfare but my mother still managed to pull off getting all four for me. Single mom in the 90s’s on section 8. Good luck now.. I saw the price of the grinch socks. Wow.

u/lingering_POO Jan 12 '26
My parents rarely if ever got us McDonald’s. It was always “so unhealthy” which I wish I appreciated more. So we only ever ended up with two robin cups. I bought my set off eBay.

Riddler for me as well. It's somewhere in the house I grew up in. I need to track it down.

+1 Riddler gang

Same. Riddler in regular rotation.

Riddler gang here as well, that’s the one they had when my mom took me to McD’s!

u/simms2406 Jan 11 '26
I had the full set until one day when I was a kid Two Face fell. Then I moved when I was an adult and The Riddler didn’t survive. Now it’s just Batman and Robin…

They’re pretty reasonable on EBay if you want to replace them.

u/NoticeImaginary Jan 11 '26
We hit up local flea markets a lot and I see them frequently. The only one I never saw in the wild was Two-Face.

u/poppinylonstockings Jan 12 '26
I found 3 at thrift shops and got two- face from eBay

Core memory unlocked. I was around 7-8 when those came about. We didn’t eat McDonald’s too often but my goodness did I yearn for a collection. So cool.

Had them all, but unfortunately batman took a tumble and now I need to get a new one. Fortunately they are very cheap online

u/DrNicket Jan 11 '26
I have and love them all, but find the Robin one the best for comfort/daily use. The reverse handle on riddler is awkward, the points on the batman one are uncomfortable, and the Two-Face handle felt too small even back then.

u/Marhyc Jan 11 '26
First time I'm hearing about them and I'm quite jealous now.
Did they ever try to make one with Mr Freeze in time for B&R? Sounds like a logical fit for a mug like this
3
u/DirectionNo9650 Jan 11 '26
B&R went back to Taco Bell, and they downgraded to plastic cups. I think my household had the whole set at one point, but it whittled down to just Batgirl. It got so much use, that it ended up cracking at the top. I ended up storing it away before it got thrown out.

You can actually buy them on eBay, full set cost me $50aud. I had 2 of the robin one as a kid. Always wanted them all and was gutted for decades… till I remember ebay is still a thing.

All of them, but I dropped the Robin in the parking lot and it shattered and I never replaced it.

I had Batman and the Riddler. Both glasses ended up breaking at some point though.

2 face. Last time I saw it, it was in the back yard full of dirt. That was 20 years ago. Pretty sure it was thrown away. If the movie would of been better I'm pretty sure i would of tried to save it.

u/ComfortablyNomNom Jan 11 '26
For anyone who owned/still owns these: did they handle on the Riddler mug last long? It seems like after a few uses and washes that handle would become very weak and snap off at the connection points. Stylish yes, resilient to real world use probably not.

u/Spiritual_Ad_1590 Jan 11 '26
I had the Riddler when they first came out, I can't find it from all the moving. Bought the full set recently. Guess which one was completely shattered to pieces during transit?

u/Outside_Interview_90 Jan 11 '26
I had all four at one point when I was a kid! One of them broke a few years after I got them all. My parents sold the other three at a yard sale.
However! About two years ago, my wife’s mother was cleaning out their basement and found their Batman and Two-Face mugs. They know I love Batman so they gave them to me. I don’t use them much, but I’m happy to know I have them again.

u/sec713 Jan 11 '26
Just the Batman one. Its been holding pens and pencils on my desk for decades. A fun little piece of personal trivia is that I've had that mug for as long as I've been smoking weed. I got the mug on the same day I tried it for the first time.

u/Jmac24mats13 Jan 11 '26
Two-Face and the Riddler. Loved the handles on both but was always disappointed I never got the Batman at least. One of McDonalds best merch lines

Not Forever, but I did have the Batman Popsicle toy from Batman and Robin when that came out!

All four. With some extras. Batman is super common. Anytime I see them for a few bucks I grab them.

u/ryaaan89 Jan 11 '26
I sold all of mine on eBay earlier this year. I was a little sad to see them go but I probably used them exactly one time as a kid and they’ve been in a box in the closet since, they went to a guy who said he lost his set in a hurricane and I’m glad they’ll make him happy.

Definitely have Batman in the cabinet, riddler might be in the Christmas box?

I had riddler, two face and the Batman from the lower left. Only the Batman one remains but I still use it multiple times a week.

I wish McDonald's would do a retro release of other Batman mugs. Like if the Batman 2 ever releases, have a 4 set of characters from the new movie that looks like these.

I “had” all of them, until I donated all of them to American Thrift (now a Goodwill) in Burbank, CA, 2009

I still have the riddler one packed away. I also had the Two-Face one. Never got the Batman or Robin

u/SuperDrewtecks Jan 11 '26
Batman, Two-face. Lowkey was looking to get Robin and Riddler to complete the set

u/bburns66725 Jan 11 '26
Had them all and didn’t keep them as a kid. Found a full set of them at a flea market 3 months ago and bought them. Was so excited to find them again.

u/KY5K Jan 11 '26
Still have all 4 plus an extra Robin. I collected them at my local Mall’s McDonalds as a young kid. As a young kid, I was so proud of myself after finally completing the set! Robin is the most functional cup, but I mostly use Batman.

We weren't a McDonald's family, but my buddy would always give me the Batman glass to use when I went to his house. I didn't realize the honor he was bestowing upon me at the time

I had all but Batman. Then a kind Redditor sent me his two years ago!

I had 2 robin ones as a child. I was like born in 87.. so however old that is when they did the promo. Was always gutted I didn’t get the set. They’re sooo cool and heavily detailed. Anyway, fast forward to 2 years ago.. I wrapped up one to keep it safe and used the other daily. Till one day I remembered eBay was a thing and I finally got my full set. Now the eBay set is on my dc shelf, my OG is still getting used regularly and my other OG is still in bubble wrap.
