Best Superman and Batman statue combo's?

Hi everyone, I'm new to Statueforum and this is my first thread!

I was just wondering if anyone could help me. I'm looking to buy statues of Superman and Batman, but I'm finding it hard to decide which ones I should get from the many Superman/Batman statues available.

Ideally I would like both of them to match if you see what I mean, for example Superman Forever and Batman Dark Crusader statues by Alex Ross.

Im also looking into the Jim Lee full size statues but still cant decide which to get?

any help would be great!!!

The superman forever statue rocks but i don't really care for the dark crusader one. The jim lee fs ones both look great and they would match in style. There is also the museum quality batman and superman but no one seems to really like them at all. Some other good superman are the bowen seinfeld one, and i like superman #14 statue myself. Maybe some other people have some other suggestions. The two jim lee would be my first choice if you want them to match or look closely related.

The Lee statues are great, but like most DC statues were to small for my taste. I love the Ross Superman Forever, but didn't care for the Batman Dark Crusader so I just kept the Koto Batman along side Superman Forever. They don't really "match", but I like how they display next to each other.

Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with either the Lee or Ross BM/SM combos. I've got all 4 and like them all.

And if you REALLY want a cool display (like this hobbit), get the Jim Lee statues and the giclee's (Canvas or paper) to match. They look really cool together.

Nice display, Hobbit!

For complementary statues, the Jim Lee Batman and Superman are the best bet. It's too bad they're mid sized statues priced like full size statues.

I agree with the comments about the Dark Crusader Ross Batman statue. Just doesn't work for me. Plus, it doesn't really complement the Superman Forever statue in the same way the Lee statues complement each other.

I love my Bowen FS Superman and Batman. I haven't put them next to each other but, if they faced the same direction, they might look pretty cool next to each other. Of course, you're talking alot more money to buy those.

thanks very much for all the ideas! and a NICE display nbr3bagshotrow

I will probably go for the jim lee pieces. Does anybody have any pics of the jim lee pieces together close up? also pics of the bowen FS statues would be nice I dont think Iv seen them before!

plus i agree with the coments about dark crusader, i think batman looks way too fat and I have no idea what they did to the bat ears but they look awful and bendy!!!
