Maybe I'll be able to get myself to stop with Superman.
I think just having the two together looks good, but only really when Batman is in front of Superman (I was underwhelmed at Tokyo Comic Con when they had them side by side).

Agreed on both points. I thought the Miller Bats had a similar ideal switch-out scheme with the grappling hook compared to the other options.

It's risky, but I'm thinking it will pay off to wait. It's why I'm opting out. From what I've seen, most of the 1/3 pieces sell for less than retail in the aftermarket. And so far, the waitlist I've jumped on for P1 pieces convert very quickly.....and this is almost coming out in a year and half...potentially more if delayed. ...
can't think of a single reason to order it right now

May - July 2019? Sheesh.
I'm not getting this but that's a ridiculous wait time, by the time he ships Id be like meh, I'm over it.
And at $1k IDK why they don't start flex pay sooner.

Personally, I don't have statues diaplayed below waste level- I feel it's a loss not to have a full view. This piece is going on the top shelf or on top of the shelf. That is probably the best displaying height for this piece to see all the awesomeness.
But in the end, it's all about room and displayability(I made that word up)
I meant more the dynamic lightning and hard angled pictures. On my top shelf I still foresee my buddies asking why he looks like he is slipping.

I remember Jim Lee himself joking about how he learned his art does not translate properly into 3D when he did all the initial designs for the DCU Online game. I guess the game designers tounge in cheek gave him the gears because "his art sucks" (as a source for 3D modelling)

Exactly where I am on it brother HB, save using Arkham Knight in lieu of Miller Bats for the same purpose.

110% this. Paired with Superman he's perfect. But I'm not in the market for a 1/3 Supes.

Omg. Thank god I noticed it and purchased the Ex before it sells out. I’m worried now when Superman will come out. Any ideas guys? And did anyone have any heads up on this batman being up on the SS site? Only reason I found out was checking my status on my Thanos Ex.

There is a real presence to this and the Superman Hush peices. I have the Frank Miller Bats and it’s truly incredible. I think this is going to have the same impact/room presence on me as FMB so PO’ed without the slightest hesitation.

Just look at these peices! https://youtu.be/gXeFertxNtI

Agree. I don’t get some of the comments lol but to each his own. Imo I think every company makes great statues and I think they all look awesome. There’s few out there yes that look cheap but the bottom line is taste. Imo this Superman and Batman Hush is perfect and will stand out in my collection. Can’t wait to add my first 1/3 prime 1 pieces and I’m out after I purchase the SS cap soon to come out.
