The reason that I haven't posted the Hot Wheels Batman 5-pack from 2015 is because I had a hard time taking any good pictures of it. I finally decided to try scanning the front and back. I have never opened this but I've been tempted so I could take pictures of the individual vehicles. The Hot Wheels vehicles include Batcopter, Batmobile, Ford Fusion (Gotham City Police), Midnight Otto (Penguin) and So Fine (Joker).

Comic Book Legend Denny O'Neil Dead at 81
I was shocked when I read Denny O'Neil, Batman writer and comic book legend, dead at 81 of natural causes. I'm a big fan of his work and he will be greatly missed. Not only did he write for DC Comics but also Marvel Comics and Charlton Comics.

Small Wonder Woman 1984 Doritos Nacho Cheese Bag
Hooray for it's Women Wednesday again. I picked up two small bags of Wonder Woman 1984 Doritos Nacho Cheese a few weeks ago. This one features Gal Gadot as the Amazon Princess in her golden armor that she wears in the upcoming movie. I had a hard time trying to scan the bag as you can tell by all the wrinkles.

Small Wonder Woman 1984 Cool Ranch Doritos Bag
Yes, it's Women Wednesday once again. I picked up a small bag of Wonder Woman 1984 Cool Ranch Doritos at the local Walmart's this past Saturday. It features Gal Gadot as the Amazon Princess in her regular costume on the front. The normal-size bag features the same image. This is a movie tie-in and the package still has June 5 as the premiere date. In case you don't know yet, the new release date is August 14, 2020. I scanned the code for the "Become A Warrior" found on the back but didn't win.

Hershey's DC Super Hero Bar 12 Snack Size Batman and Wonder Woman Editions
Whew, what a long title for today's post but I found the Batman and Wonder Woman editions of the new Hershey's DC Super Hero Bar 12 Snack Size at the local Walmart's this morning. They were on the bottom shelf and were selling for $1.96. They didn't have any of the other packaging styles yet nor did they have any of the Superman packages.
I like that the heads and upper torsos of Batman and Wonder Woman are on the right side of the packages.
The backs of the packages shows the three different packages available.
The backs of both packages also have the best buy date, which is May, 2021. They won't last that long around here and they were already melting by the time we got home, put away the groceries and I took the pictures.
The candy bars from the Batman package are on the left while the candy bars from the Wonder Woman package are on the right. The Batman package had two with Aquaman wrappers, one with Batman wrapper, one with Flash wrapper, four with Green Lantern wrappers, three with Superman wrappers and one with Wonder Woman wrapper. The Wonder Woman package had two with Aquaman wrappers, one with Batman wrappers, two with Flash wrappers, three with Green Lantern wrappers, three with Superman wrappers and one with Wonder Woman wrapper.
The total count of the candy bar wrappers from both packages was Aquaman (4), Batman (2), Flash (3), Green Lantern (7), Superman (6) and Wonder Woman (2).
Th candy bar below was from one with an Aquamn wrapper that featured Batman logo, Wonder Woman logo, Batmobile outline and Superman logo. My sister had one with a Wonder Woman wrapper that featured logos of Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman and Green Lantern.
I'm trying to save the candy bar wrappers but they are hard to open by hand. They measure 3-3/4" by 1-1/4". I might end up getting a few more packages of each if I can just to see who I get on the wrappers. I'm really hoping to find the Superman package too.

Goodnight Marty Pasko
I was saddened when to learn that Martin "Marty" Pasko passed away on Sunday, May 10, 2020 from natural causes. He wrote for various comic book publishers including Marvel Comics, Disney Comics, Eclipse Comics, First Comics and Warren Publishing but did work mainly for DC Comics since the 1970s. He wrote scripts for live action tv shows including Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and Fantasy Island. His work on cartoons include Thundarr the Barbarian, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Batman: The Animated Series. He co-wrote the animated movie Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

Avengers Jumbo Coloring and Activity Book: Defenders of Earth
Avengers Jumbo Coloring and Activity Book: Defenders of Earth is another one that I picked up at the local Dollar Tree. It was produced by Bendon with a copyright of 2020. There are ninety-six tear and share pages. The front cover features Black Widow, Captain America and Thor.
The back cover features Iron Man, Captain Marvel and the Hulk.
The coloring pages are either full figures or upper torso and head shots. Characters include Hawkeye, War Machine, Wasp, Ant Man, Black Panther, Vision, Falcon, Loki, Red Skull, Thanos, Doctor Strange and Winter Soldier in addition to the Avengers featured on the front and back covers. Unfortunately, there are no group shots or fighting scenes. I would recommend using coloring pencils if you color them since there some small spaces.
Activity pages are mixed in with the coloring pages. They include puzzles such as how many words, find the right one, mazes, who am I, squares and tic-tac-toe.
