Batman Question Winner Is....

....Mr. Al Whitehurst! Not only did he answer our Batman trivia question correctly, he was picked from our hat by our category manager, Alison.

Al knew that Batman's father's profession was indeed a doctor. He was also a philanthropist, but his profession was doctor.

Dwight is so excited about this new line of locks that he's decided to kick off the contest series with the whole kit and kaboodle....Al is going to get a full set of 5 Justice League padlocks! They are sitting here on my messy desk....Al please email me your shipping address and I'll get them right out to you. donna_tocci(at)irco(dot)com

Thanks to everyone who played....next up Superman...before the end of the week. We'll ask the trivia question and have you email them in to me (thanks for the tip Caroline!). The winner will get the Superman padlock.

And, at the end of the series, we'll be giving away another whole set of locks for answering the big question correctly. Stay tuned....



Stay tuned...

For the Comic Book fans out there you know who I'm referring to above - in order - Superman, Batman, Flash, WonderWoman and the Green Lantern - members of the Justice League of America one of the most popular DC comics titles. You may be asking, why am I talking about superheroes? Besides the fact that I grew up reading all titles DC and Marvel and was an avid collector...but I digress. What possibly do these characters have to do with Kryptonite? Well a whole lot...we are partnering with DC comics and launching a series of padlocks that incorporate the aforementioned members of the Justice League. The locks are available right now at select WalMart stores and will be in Home Depot in August and possibly other retailers. We are very excited about working with these characters and bringing them to our customers in real everyday products. To celebrate the launch of these products we are holding a contest here on the blog. We will profile each character and ask a question - the first 25 responsdants will be entered into a drawing where the grand prize will be a full set of the padlocks, plus the winners picture,if so interested, on our website. The fun begins this Thursday with the Gotham Crusader...stay tuned
