Batman Chess Set From Thinkgeek!

This Batman Chess Set from Thinkgeek is perfect for the more cerebral crimefighter in your family

Batman is a man of action. But he’s also a genius and a thinking-man’s hero. So you think he’d be pretty good at something like chess. A Batman Chess Set seems pretty fitting for the World’s Greatest Detective, and that is something that ThinkGeek happens to have! Check out their official description of their Batman Chess set and a pic of the various pieces below:

"Are you a silent protector, a watchful guardian? Or perhaps you prefer gunpowder, dynamite, or gasoline? Pair up with someone of the opposite inclination, and make the Dark Knight and The Joker clash on the battlefield of Gotham City in a game of chess.Pick a side. Batman’s chess team also includes Batgirl, the Batmobile, the Bat Signal, and scenes from Gotham City. The Joker’s side also includes Harley Quinn, guns that go “BANG,” Joker grenades and dynamite, and playing cards (with Jokers, of course). Capture your opponent’s pieces until you can arrange the dreaded checkmate, and claim your victory. The Batman pieces are black with yellow coloring, while The Joker’s pieces are purple, yellow, and green.Product SpecificationsBatman Dark Knight vs. The Joker Chess SetOfficially-licensed Warner Bros. merchandiseStage a Gotham showdown, chess stylePick a side: Play as Batman and Batgirl, or pick The Joker and Harley QuinnFor 2 playersAges 7+Play time: Varies (it’s CHESS people)Mechanic: Grid movementIncludesPlaying board32 playing piecesMaterials: Pieces are plasticDimensions: Board measures 18.5″ x 18.5″; chess pieces measure 2″ to 4″Weight: 3.5 lbs"

This chess set is a pretty cool idea, I just went the went a little deeper with the roster. There’s so many characters, both heroes and villains from Gotham that could’ve been included in this and aren’t. Still not a bad idea for a holiday gift for somebody who loves the Dark Knight and chess…
