BATMANSerial 73776617 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: DC COMICS
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Jan 23, 1989
Registered Mar 20, 1990
The record shows that the mark “BATMAN” is no longer live; it was cancelled on January 15 2016 because the registrant, DC COMICS, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register in 1990 for goods in class 009, specifically phonographic records, prerecorded audio and audiovisual tapes and cassettes featuring various entertainment themes. A new name that uses “BATMAN” in a similar context—such as a music or video product—would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific registration. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 event appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the cancellation in 2016, and no further dates are listed. If you’re thinking of a similar name for entertainment‑related audio or video goods, this history suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.

The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
