But, now I'm confused as to why this statue is called the DKIII Master Race statue when the statue depicts an exact scene in the DKR story.

P1 is doing everything they can do give us TDKR Supes vs Batman fight through TDK3 license. For example, Superman takes Batman's busted up helmet off in TDK3, but they never fought each other in TDK3. Batman was hurt, so Supes took off his armored helmet to help him. The statue implies they just had the fight from the first series lol.

Oh yeah good point on the Superman piece. That one is from DKR story as well

Not complaining here, was just a bit confused after seeing/reading the full story.

its all about finding those licensing loopholes lol

I hope they add the black Superman emblem to that statue. That would be cool.

It's going to be a while, but I really look forward to seeing the Batman Armor version. I wonder if they'll go off one of the covers and make his armor have an emblem, or go with the more "plain" standard version. Another switch out would be fine too lol.

I love this DKIII statue so much, but the base is so large. I prefer this one over the DKR (first) version.

I'm going to watch like a hawk to make sure it doesn't go waitlist. But, this might be a must have even though I have no clue where I'd put him.

Ehh, after looking through DKIII, the ugly art and injection of real world references puts me off this statue. Batman doesn't even resemble this statue. Am I missing something?

I'm willing to give the story a shot. The rawness of the action looks alright, but it looks a bit chaotic and random.

no ones buying this as a DKIII statue, the only reason it has that title is for licensing purposes. its based on a homage variant cover from the DKIII master race

The scene the art and statue depicts isn't even from Master Race, it's from the first half of the Dark Knight Returns if that helps you like it more.

exactly. I thought we cleared this up a few pages ago.

Ah, that's more like it! I don't necessarily need my statues to be anchored to a story arc, but this one really had me confused. The cover art related to TDK in general are quite nice. The animated movie was alright from what I remember.
