DC Comics fans just got a glimpse at the latest line of collectible popcorn buckets courtesy of AMC Theaters.

Per industry news and fan page DC Film News on Twitter, AMC Theaters locations have begun rolling out the DC Comics 90th Anniversary popcorn buckets. Each of the half-dozen collectible tins bears the cover of a different iconic DC Comics title, including Action Comics #1, Superman #1, Wonder Woman #103, Batman #1, Justice League #102, and The Flash: Showcase Comics #4.

To go along with the new popcorn buckets, fans who manage to get their hands on one will also receive a matching lanyard and cardholder. Each collectible DC Comics 90th Anniversary popcorn bucket retails for $21, although theater-goers have reported that stock on certain versions, namely the Wonder Woman #103 and The Flash: Showcase Comics #4, are incredibly limited.



The DC Comics 90th Anniversary popcorn buckets are just the latest in a long line of themed popcorn buckets released in recent years after a resurgence in the popularity of such items. In 2025, numerous films offered fans a chance to bring home a piece of unexpected merchandise, ranging from Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein to the Stephe King adaptation The Monkey to The Naked Gun starring Liam Neeson.

More DC Comics Movie Collectibles Are On The Way


DC fans will likely have at least two more themed popcorn buckets to look forward to this year, as bothSupergirl andClayface prepare to head into theaters in the coming months.Supergirl will be leading the charge for the DCU on the silver screen in 2026, with the film currently slated to arrive in theaters on June 26.


Largely inspired by Tom King and Bilquis Evely's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow miniseries, Supergirl will see Milly Alcock reprise her role as Kara Zor-El following her cameo appearance at the end of Superman, starring David Corenswet. The film will follow Supergirl as she embarks upon an interstellar quest for justice on behalf of the young Ruthye Marye Knoll, portrayed by Eve Ridley, whose family was cut down by the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills, portrayed by Matthias Schoenaerts.


Supergirl will also mark the debut of Jason Mamoa as DC Comics' Main Man, Lobo, a near-unstoppable Czarnian mercenary who just so happens to be the one character the former Aquaman star has been clamoring to play for years. Mamoa previously stated, "I just think I'm the right person to play the role... If we're going to typecast me in anything, let's put me in Lobo."

Following Supergirl, DC fans can look forward to the release of the hotly-anticipated Clayface feature film starring Tom Rhys Harries. Directed by James Watkins from a screenplay originally crafted by Mike Flanagan, who dropped out of the project and was replaced as screenwriter by Hossein Amini, Clayface will stand as the first true foray into body horror for the DCU


Flanagan previously opened up about why he dropped out of the project, stating, "It was one of the great kind of sadnesses of my career that I'm so sorry that when it came time to make it, and they wanted to make this movie right away, I wasn't available."


.DC Comics 90th Anniversary popcorn buckets and other promotional collectibles are only available at AMC Theatres for a limited time.
