Batman Batarang Key Holder

The batarang is the least flashy item in the Dark Knight's arsenal and probably the most used: a flat, bat-winged throwing blade, all swept points and negative space, recognisable in outline by anyone who has ever seen the cowl. Reworked into a key holder, that shape becomes something handled every day rather than admired from a distance, a small piece of Gotham living in a coat pocket or by the front door. The subject suits the job too, being graphic and flat rather than fiddly, so it reads as a design object first and a fan item second. It makes an obvious gift for a comics reader and a quick win for anyone building a stall of small, instantly recognisable pieces. Left bare it looks like hardware; finished with care it looks like memorabilia.
