The Nokia Lumia 900 will soon follow in the footsteps of the Lumia 800 as a Batman edition is reportedly on the way.
The Batman-themed Lumia 900, which will go on sale in the UK 'very shortly', according to Pocket-Lint, comes with an etched Batman logo on the back of the device.
There's been no confirmation from Nokia on whether the Batman edition will have the same custom box, the Dark Knight app and Live Tile or any preloaded wallpapers of the caped crusader as the Lumia 800 version, but we have a sneaking suspicion it will.
Although tight-lipped on numbers - there were only 40 made of the Lumia 800 Batman edition, the last of which was given away by Nokia at one of its own events - we get the feeling you will need to strike quickly.
The Batman edition Lumia 900 is expected to arrive in the UK, Germany, France and other European countries in the next few weeks.
For the uninitiated, the Lumia 900 is a Windows Phone device with a 4.3-inch screen, 8-megapixel camera and a Carl Zeiss lens, and comes equipped with a range of Nokia exclusive apps such as its SatNav software, Nokia Drive.

Developments in Google's bid for Motorola Mobility - Yahoo Finance
Here are some key developments in Google's Inc.'s planned acquisition of Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc.:
Aug. 15, 2011: Google announces plans to spend $12.5 billion to buy Motorola Mobility. Google would get Motorola's lineup of cellphones, tablet computers and cable set-top boxes. More important, Google would get Motorola's more than 17,000 patents — a crucial weapon in an intellectual arms race with Apple, Microsoft and others to gain more control over the increasingly lucrative market for mobile devices.
Aug. 16: Standard & Poor's says investors should sell Google's stock because it believes the decision to buy Motorola Mobility increases the risk to the company and its shares. S&P says that although the acquisition would include a patent trove, that might not be enough to keep Google's Android mobile operating software from encountering intellectual-property issues.
Aug. 22: Standard & Poor's reverses course, saying Google shares have fallen so much that they've now become a good deal.
Sept. 13: In a regulatory filing, Google reveals that the $12.5 billion purchase price is 33 percent more than Google initially offered. If the deal falls through, Google will still have to pay Motorola Mobility $2.5 billion.
Sept. 28: It's disclosed that the U.S. Justice Department is taking a closer look at the deal. The move had been widely expected.
Oct. 27: Motorola Mobility reports smaller net loss in the July-September quarter as phone shipments rises by more than 25 percent from a year earlier.
Nov. 17: Motorola Mobility says its shareholders have overwhelmingly voted to accept the proposed sale.
Dec. 2: With the Motorola deal still pending, the U.S. Justice Department approves Google's acquisition of online advertising service Admeld after concluding the deal wouldn't diminish competition in one of the Internet's most lucrative marketing niches.
Jan. 26, 2012: Motorola Mobility issues disappointing results for the last three months of the year. It reports a loss, mirroring preliminary numbers issued three weeks earlier, amid fierce competition in the markets for smartphones and tablet computers. Some analysts have already been worried that Motorola Mobility will become a financial millstone that could drag down Google's earnings growth. If that happens, Google's stock price would likely suffer.
Feb. 13: European antitrust regulators clear the deal. Although regulators say they didn't find a reason to believe that the transaction would pose any competitive problems, they raise concerns about Motorola's aggressive enforcement of its patents. Hours later, the U.S. Department of Justice also approves the deal.
Feb. 22: Microsoft lodges a formal complaint with the European Union's competition regulator accusing Motorola Mobility of breaking competition rules with its aggressive enforcement of patent rights against rivals. The complaint also names Google, which Microsoft fears will continue Motorola Mobility's tight hold on key patents. It follows a similar complaint from Apple.
April 3: The European Commission agrees to investigate whether Motorola is unfairly restricting competitors from licensing essential patents. Motorola holds patents that are essential for standards linked to 2G and 3G wireless technology — the focus of Apple's complaint — as well as Wi-Fi connections and compressing video for online use, which are at the heart of Microsoft's complaint.
May 1: Motorola reports a slightly larger net loss in the first quarter as expenses grew more than revenue.
Saturday: Authorities in China approve Google's bid, though they require Google to make its Android operating system for mobile devices available to all at no cost for the next five years. The condition is apparently in response to concerns that competition could be hurt if Google gives updated versions to Motorola and withholds them from others. Google doesn't currently charge for Android, and it already had pledged to make Android available to all its mobile partners.
Tuesday: Google says it has completed the acquisition. With the purchase, Google expands beyond its roots in programming software to provide Internet search and other online services to manufacturing equipment for the first time. The expansion will test Google's ability to keep its business partners, shareholders and employees happy. Dennis Woodside, president of Google's Americas region, replaces Sanjay Jha as Motorola's CEO.
