“I believe… whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you.. Stranger.” Couldn’t have said it better Joker. The first DC Comics Funko Pop! collectible on the list is the crazy, and still favorite Joker. Part of the Suicide Squad, the villain is portrayed flawlessly as he appears in the 2016 film, Suicide Squad. The Jester of Genocide in all his Funko Pop! glory is shirtless with his tattoos on display, his iconic green hair and red lips brighter than ever. Even his distorted creepy smile is intact. Paying homage to his origin, he is wearing the pants of his Arkham Asylum uniform. Known as Batman’s greatest enemy, The Joker is the type of criminal and bad guy that Batman is trying to erase from the world. The Joker has been featured in many feature films by well known actors such as Jack Nicholson in Batman, the late Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight and Jared Leto in Suicide Squad.

Crossing over to the good side of the DC Comics Funko Pop collectibles, we have Supergirl. Kara Zor-El is the cousin of Superman and was created to be the popular hero’s female counterpart. The Funko Pop! collectible version of the Supergirl features her with her classic blonde hair and wearing her iconic skirted version of Superman’s blue outfit, with the famous red and yellow “S” emblem on her chest. Like her cousin, Supergirl has a weakness when it comes to the powerful Kryptonite and she also has the ability to fly, has super strength, and super speed. Supergirl has been adapted into many film and television series, including CBS’s show Supergirl starring Melissa Benoist as the title character, as well as Calista Flockhart, Chyler Leigh and David Harewood, as well as many others.

Billionaire and superhero Batman is the keeper of Gotham and its the guard of its safety against evil. His mission began when he was very young after witnessing the murders of his parents, and since then Bruce Wayne dedicated his life to ridding his home town of the destruction that was impending. The Funko Pop! Collectible version of the superhero is complete with his black horned mask, gloves, boots, cape and his grey outfit and Bat insignia on his chest. As Bruce Wayne, he is known as a philanthropist and socialite. As Batman, he has no superpowers, and rather relies on his physical capabilities, smarts, wealth and intimidation. Batman has been featured in many feature films, such as Batman Returns, Batman and Robin, The Dark Knight Rises and a television series, Gotham.

As fierce as she is nurturing, Wonder Woman is a member of the DC’s Justice League and a must have DC Comics Funko Pop! collectible. Princess Diana of Themyscira demands respect from others as her secret identity Diana Prince and also as Wonder Woman, which is what makes her such a powerful superhero. Specializing in Amazonian martial arts, Wonder Woman is a fighter, strategist, and has weapons that include her sword, lasso, and wrist cuffs. In her DC Comics Funko Pop! collectible version, she is featured wearing her golden headband over her iconic brown hair, as well as her red, gold, and blue ensemble and wielding her sword. Many actresses have portrayed the strong female superhero, including Lynda Carter, Keri Russell and Gal Gadot.

Super villain Harley Quinn has the eye of The Joker and those shopping for DC Comics Funko Pop! collectibles. Harleen Frances Quinzel may seem like an unstable person with antisocial behavior and personality disorder, the bad girl actually started out as a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum where The Joker was her patient. This DC Comic Funko Pop! collectible version of Harley Quinn features her as she appears in the 2016 film Suicide Squad where she is portrayed by Margot Robbie. Her hair, make up and clothing follow the blue and red theme, different than the usual red and black color scheme, that was shown in the movie and she comes complete with her weapon of choice, a baseball bat.

A long standing sidekick to Batman, Robin makes up the other half of the Caped Crusaders who fight to rid Gotham City of crime and evil. Dick Grayson’s parents were extorted by a criminal when Grayson was young and when Batman stepped in to stop the crime, he took the young acrobat under his wing. Soon, Grayson took on the disguise of Robin and the two teamed up officially. In the DC Comics Funko Pop! collectible version of Robin he is seen in his iconic red and green outfit, complete with his cape, mask, and the “R” insignia on the left side of his chest. Robin has been featured in his own comic series, as well as films such as Batman and Robin where he was portrayed by Chris O’Donnell alongside a cast of George Clooney, Uma Thurman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Alicia Silverstone.

The Flash is a favorite in the DC universe and a favorite DC Comics Funko Pop! collectible. With a name like The Flash, you’d better be fast, and that’s exactly what this superhero is. In his variations, he has been faster than the speed of light, thought, and even was ten times the speed of light in one adaptation, as well as supercharged brain activity, super stamina and agility, and time travel. The Flash in his DC Comics Funko Pop! Collectible form is in his iconic red and yellow uniform with the lightning bolt symbol on his chest. The Flash starred in many feature films and even has a titular TV series on the CW that portrays the superhero’s early life and his journey to becoming the fastest superhero on earth.

Generally a bat and a cat don't seem like they would go together, but its a coupling that seems to work out pretty good for Batman and Catwoman. Selina Kyle started out as a villain and adversary to Batman, but soon the two saw eye to eye on crime and began to work together. Her ability to engage in hand to hand combat, her stealth and acrobatics allow her to be secretive and agile, like a cat. The DC Comics Funko Pop! collectible portrays the villain turned hero in her classic black jumpsuit, complete with a mask and cat ears and even claws. Catwoman has appeared in many Batman films such as Batman Returns, The Dark Knight Rises and her own feature film, Catwoman.

Portrayed as a supervillain before taking on the role of an antihero, Deadshot is known for being the world's most deadly marksman. As a part of the Suicide Squad, Floyd Lawton is often an adversary of Batman as he tried to replace the Dark Knight in Gotham. His skills as a shooter and his lack of empathy for humanity earned him a spot on the Squad. In this DC Comic Funko Pop! collectible version of the assassin, he is shown as he was portrayed in Suicide Squad by Will Smith. Wearing his black suit, his white mask with the special vision aid and sporting his weapon of choice.

Perhaps the most famous DC Comics character and one of the best selling DC Comics Funko Pop collectibles, Superman was born on Kal-El and sent to Earth on a rocket when he was just a baby, where he waited for his cousin Kara Zor-El (Supergirl) to arrive many years later. Journalist in Metropolis by day as Clark Kent and super super superhero Superman by night, he is considered a cultural icon by many. His costume has barely changed if at all over the years, and he is shown wearing the iconic ensemble in the form of the DC Comics Funko Pop! collectible. The blue outfit head to toe is accented by the red underwear outside, his red cape and boots and his easily recognizable “S” symbol on his chest. Superman has been portrayed in many films such as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Man of Steel and Superman Returns.
