The spectacular Crossing Marketing & Branding between DC and Pininfarina, which gave rise to Batman's ultra-luxury hypercars (They are now available for sale!)

(By Marcelo Maurizio) In an era where co-creation dramatically expands the experience and where brands make a huge associative effort to create added value and phygitality like never before, DC, with Batman and Pininfarina, once again demonstrate that Crossing is the most disruptive technique to move away from commoditization and massive value removal. In an innovative collaboration, the Italian design house Pininfarina is offering a stunning disruption to all Batman and car enthusiasts. Drawing inspiration from Bruce Wayne's iconic Batmobile, they have unveiled two revolutionary models: the Automobili Pininfarina Gotham and the Automobili Pininfarina Dark Knight.

If you ever imagined being like Bruce Wayne, now you can get a little closer to his world with these stunning vehicles that combine cutting-edge technology, exceptional design, and a touch of fantasy inspired by the Batman universe.

  • To understand, enjoy, and implement the new possibilities of crossing, in this case, of Pininfarina and Wayne Enterprise:

  1. "The business, behind the business, is the most profitable business."

  2. It is no longer sufficient to differentiate oneself; now disruption and expansion of phygital experience are vital.

  3. A brand no longer sells products or services, it sells emotional worlds, where crossing, culture, and amplified coherence are a multi-experiential reality.

Discovery Global Consumer Products seeks to bring the essence of Bruce Wayne to a wide range of exclusive products, including the impressive hypercars that are now part of the collection.

Behind this project is Wayne Enterprises, a new company created by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products. Drawing on the life of billionaire Bruce Wayne, they are creating a variety of ultra-exclusive products including real estate, bicycles, jet skis, and now cars. This company will produce limited edition versions of the Battista and the Barchetta B95 models.
