If you wonder how the epic Batman drinks his coffee every morning it's most likely out of this Thumbs Up! Bat Mug. This stylish coffee cup substitutes a traditional handle in the place of an elegantly extended batwing.

In the various [Batman comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dark-knight-collection), Chief Commissioner Gordon calls on Batman for his assistance in catching a villainous criminal by turning on the bat signal located on the roof of the police station. The bat signal lights the sky up with an infamous shadow of a winged bat. The Thumbs UP! Bat Mug replicates the look of the notoriously famous bat signal with an [all-black ceramic coffee cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinch-hold) complete with a pair stylish of [batwings on either side](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-x-blvck-collection).
