Hi Huneybees,
As The Dark Knight - Batman turns 75, not only has SingPost released the limited edition DC Justice League and Batman 75th Anniversary MyStamp collection, Singapore Philatelic Museum has also recently launched the first and only DC Comics Super Heroes Exhibition in Asia.
Minister Lawrence Wong was present at the opening and the first to grace the exhibition, as he was brought around by "Poison Ivy" . It showcases stamps from Singapore Philatelic Museum’s permanent collection, Singapore Post MyStamps and the stamp artworks, as well as rare original comic art pages and collectibles on loan from collectors.
Of course there's even more for you to see and experience, you have to be down at Singapore Philatelic Museum to see it all! Don't forget to walk and look around for signs to scan the QR Code with the app - The League Against Evil. Through Augmented Reality, you can actually take photos with the superheroes!

So, let's head on over to the exhibition!
The VIPs were brought on a tour by Poison Ivy as interesting stamp and toy collections were showcased and explained...
In the exhibition, Batman's friends - the heroes of the Justice League of America were each introduced with sections dedicated to each of them. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman all came to life and comic fans will definitely be drooling at the amount of collectibles in here!
It's interesting to find how the heroes were first drawn and how they evolved through the years, not only do they have a more stylish look, their very own logos have also evolved!

Grabbed a shot with the superheroes!

My personal has to be the Wonder Woman. She embodies the female power and is definitely not weaker than the boys. Go Girl Power!
During the tour around the exhibition, I also met the illustrator - Soefara Jafney Jaafar, who drew this vintage looking Wonder Woman. She wanted to capture her in its very first impression and I must say I love the strut Wonder Woman has! So much strength and sexiness at the same time!
Of course there's even more for you to see and experience, you have to be down at Singapore Philatelic Museum to see it all! Don't forget to walk and look around for signs to scan the QR Code with the app - The League Against Evil. Through Augmented Reality, you can actually take photos with the superheroes!
And whilst there, don't forget to get yourselves the SingPost DC Justice League & Batman 75th Anniversary MyStamp Collection. You can even stand a chance to win exclusive Lego Miniland Scale Figurines!
So, hop on over to the Singapore Philatelic Museum on Sundays for a DC Comic experience!
