The Avengers set new box office records when it debuted this May and the wider exposure granted by a PG-13 rating should keep it ahead of what’d otherwise be the most anticipated film of 2012. Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy finds its finale when The Dark Knight Rises on Friday, July 20th, and after the thirteen-minute TV featurette that just aired, there’s even that much more excitement surrounding the film. That’ll take another bump on the Wednesday before the premier as the latest DC Comics Batman x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star collection releases in colorways inspired by Batman and Tom Hardy’s Bane. Both feature QR codes on their inner labels that you can scan for exclusive access to online comic downloads, so click through to see more angles and let us know if you now plan on lining up twice next week.

The majority of the releases from the DC Comics x Converse project we’ve seen so far have stayed true to the comic book look, with colorful graphics that grab at your attention. If you’re looking for something more subtle, check out the ‘Riddler’ release for the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shown here. Paying tribute to the Batman villain of the same name, these come in a premium leather dipped in the same gooey green that The Riddler sports in the comics. Oh and if that wasn’t enough for you, there’s also his trademark question mark logo on the back end of the shoe. Check out the full photos after the jump and hit up Size? in the UK to grab your pair.

DC Comics superheros have been associated with the sneaker game since the Nike SB Dunk Mid ‘Batman’ dropped back in 2008, but it’s only in the last few months we’ve seen them reach out for official collaborations like the recently unveiled Bounty Hunter x Masterpiece collection. DC’s been at it for over seventy-five years now so it’s fitting that with their new Converse Chuck Taylor All Star pack, the publishers were able to align their brand with a model that’s been around even longer. New Chucks featuring Batman himself, his nemesis the Joker, ‘rival’ Superman and their own collaboration as the Justice League are among the designs available now, so click through to see photos of the entire set and cop yours from RMKStore.
