Last week, we showed fans a preview of DC Direct's high-end collectibles from The Dark Knight, and we now have the full details on their upcoming prop replicas.

Both Batarangs and a Grappling Launcher will be available at only 1,500 pieces each. The life-sized, hand-painted, high-quality porcelain replicas are cast from the actual props used in the film and will come mounted on display bases and include a certificate of authenticity.

The Grappling Launcher will cost $195 and be released on July 16, 2008; and the Batarang set will follow a week later, on July 23, for $125.
