Correction: Actually McDonald's did go through with the toy line for this movie as well as a line of promotional drinking cups, due to having already produced a fair amount of stock and spent millions on an advertising campaign before it was released. The toys can be seen at the following link http://www.hakes.com/item.asp?ItemNo=77860&ListID=86 and the commercial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1qy7jIKtfY. They actually defended their choice to NOT pull the plug on the premiums by stating the tie in was meant to refer to the Batman character itself rather than the questionable content of the movie (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_n29_v26/ai_12477873/).
