The Hungry for Heroes Collection


Krispy Kreme has partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery to celebrate the new Superman movie with the launch of its Hungry for Heroes Collection—a trio of doughnuts inspired by iconic DC superheroes: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

Each one has its own flavor and flair:

  • Superman Doughnut: An unglazed shell filled with classic white Kreme, topped with sky-blue icing, colorful sprinkles, and a buttercreme cloud with Superman soaring overhead.
  • Batman Doughnut: This one’s bold and dark—filled with cookies-and-Kreme, dipped in black chocolate glaze, and decorated with the legendary Bat-Signal.
  • Wonder Woman Doughnut: The standout for many fans, this one features the Original Glazed base topped with raspberry-flavored red icing, festive sprinkles, and Wonder Woman’s logo and golden belt.

A rare return for raspberry fans


While strawberry has become more common at Krispy Kreme in recent years, raspberry icing has been a rare treat—usually reserved for Valentine’s Day or other limited-time specials.

Its return has doughnut lovers talking, especially those who remember its sweet-tart flavor from past seasonal offerings.

If you’re someone who loves trying flavors that don’t come around often, this one’s worth a trip.
