1960s Menko Batman Cards - Group of 7 .
Issued in Japan during the 1960s, the Batman Menko cards capture the international rise of the Caped Crusader through the uniquely bold and colorful aesthetic of traditional Menko game cards. Printed on thick, punchy cardboard stock in various shapes and sizes, these cards feature dynamic manga-influenced illustrations of Batman, Robin, the Batmobile, and classic villains, often blending American comic iconography with distinctly Japanese visual stylings. Many cards incorporate action poses, exaggerated expressions, or stylized backgrounds, reflecting the vibrant pop-culture fusion of the era. Produced by multiple small manufacturers with low print runs and limited regional distribution, 1960s Batman Menko are considered scarce today and remain highly prized for their crossover appeal between superhero collectors, vintage Japanese toy enthusiasts, and Menko specialists.

Offered here are 7 Menko Batman cards from the Japanese game. Cards are ungraded.
