Speaking as a Superman fan I have zero interest in this. Give me any number of characters that collectors have been clamoring for before this.

So, is it Medieval Justice League? Is Bruce Wayne the Duke of Gothamshire?

Probably should’ve started this line with Batman. Because 1. Alternate versions of Batman sell and 2. The design is better than Kal-El, would’ve made a stronger start. Followed by Wonder Woman.

With as successful and mostly great pieces from the Japan-inspired Batman series, I wish they would have done a Superman. He is in that universe so it would have fit. Seems that line is slowing down, so probably won't happen.

I have a feeling with how far the dark knights metals went they might at least do the trinity and the green man(which from my understanding is a sorta joker/luthor esq character that has a green lantern power ring)

XM will be XM. They love to make this kinda stuff. Oh well ...

Absolutely not. I?d buy a General Zod or classic Bizarro in a heartbeat though.

No company has ever made a Kingdom Come Superman.
