In
1993,
Batman:
The
Animated
Series
was
at
the
height
of
its
popularity
in
the
United
States.
The
dark,
stylish
cartoon
had
captivated
children
and
adults
alike
with
its
dramatic
stories,
bold
animation,
and
unforgettable
characters
like
Batman,
Robin,
Joker,
and
Catwoman.
That
same
year,
McDonald’s
decided
to
join
the
excitement
by
creating
a
special
line
of
Happy
Meal
toys
based
on
the
show.
When
kids
opened
their
Happy
Meals,
they
discovered
miniature
versions
of
Gotham’s
heroes
and
villains.
Some
figures
came
with
vehicles,
like
Batman
in
the
sleek
Batmobile
or
Robin
on
his
red
cycle.
Others
had
action
features,
like
Joker
with
a
mischievous
grin
or
Catwoman
ready
for
adventure.
Each
toy
was
brightly
colored,
fun
to
play
with,
and
instantly
recognizable
as
part
of
the
animated
series.
For
many
children
in
1993,
these
toys
became
treasured
collectibles.
They
brought
the
world
of
Gotham
City
right
to
the
dinner
table,
turning
every
meal
into
an
adventure.
Even
today,
fans
remember
that
collaboration
between
McDonald’s
and
Batman:
The
Animated
Series
as
a
unique
moment
in
pop
culture,
when
fast
food
and
superheroes
combined
to
give
kids
both
a
meal
and
a
piece
of
Gotham’s
magic.
