The Mimobot line of designer flash drives is planning to dig into DC in a big way with designs based on the likes of Superman, The Flash and Green Lantern—but they are starting off with vintage Batman figures.

The drives include 1939-era Batman, Adam West-style Batman, Robin, Joker and Catwoman versions in 2G-16GB flavors loaded with bonus content.

The 1939 Batman drive is available now with the rest of the series following in February. The release is limited to only 5,000 units. Check out a promo video after the break.

There are tons of variations on the Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver out there and, well…here’s another. However, this time the device is designed to work with an upcoming Nintendo Wii game entitled Doctor Who: Return to Earth.

The game will feature the likenesses of the current Doctor (Matt Smith) and sidekick Amy Pond (Karen Gillan). A DS version that uses a sonic screwdriver stylus will also be available. Expect the accessories to be released in October and the games sometime this winter.

This 4G robot USB drive kind of looks like C3-PO if he was captured and buffed to death. I’ll bet they just wanted to remove his mouth to shut him up.
