From: General Mills
Introduced in 2016


This cereal first surfaced in stores in January of 2016 - two months before the March 2016 release of the film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. At the same time this cereal hit grocery stores, General Mills also gave us Superman Caramel Crunch Cereal as part of the same movie promotion.





The Batman cereal has brown speckled pieces in the shape of a bat. Although seeing the cereal pieces without the context of the Batman box, you could easily assume they were meant to look like buffalo, space ships or abstract squiggles. The Superman cereal has tan pieces in the shape (roughly) of the shield on Superman's uniform.

Both cereals feature Batman (portrayed by Ben Affleck) and Superman (portrayed by Henry Cavill) facing off on the back of the box. Between the face off, the Batman cereal has a "who's your hero" appeal to post on Facebook, while the Superman cereal has a "see which super hero you know best" quiz.





By our count, this is the 4th Batman cereal to be produced by a major cereal company. Ralson produced Batman Cereal in 1989 and Batman Returns Cereal in 1992. Post gave us The Batman Cereal in 2006.

The following is a promotional image for the new cereals from a General Mills Super Heroes Cereal website created at dcsuperheroescereal.tumblr.com:

As the other comments have said, this is a good concept, but horrible execution. One of the worst tasting cereals I have ever had. Nice box design though!

Cool box, cool looking cereal. Honestly, on my top 3 worst cereals ever and I really can't think of the other two. I like all cereals but this one really stinks.
