He does amazing work. I have one print of his and would like on of this too. If XM made this Dio from the BTAS art like this, I would have bought it without hesitation.
Nice, thanks! I would have probably ordered the statue as well if it was done in this style.

XM announced that this will be a trinity set... one for Batman with smoke, Superman with crystal, and Wonder Woman with sand/stone...

Epic...

Intersting. I don’t see this working too affectively with those two unfortunately as neither have a stable of rogues as compelling as Batman’s.

Good point. They have had problems about Batsy, for the remaining two i believe they will not manage

I concur Hellboy. I think Superman has some potential, but Wonder Woman will be a stretch. Her Rogues are not as fun as the others by a wide margin.

The Lanterns would have been really cool.

Lanterns would be a better sell that WW IMO.

I love the fully painted version, but wow that Dreamscape is so surreal and makes Batman pop a lot more.

I wish I could have gotten in on the PO, maybe one day I can afford to pick this up along with XM Hulkbuster.

Not just the rogues gallery to me so much as the appropriateness of the theme in general.

The notion of being haunted by these figures is part and parcel of the whole genesis of that character- that he was haunted by the murder of his parents and this is what he grew up to become.

They would need to put some real thought into what Metallo, Luthor, Toyman, Zod and others collectively reveal about Superman.
The Batman one works as well as it does because it says something deeper about the character rather than just being a bunch of elements with a pleasing compositional arrangement.
I expect the latter is what we'll be seeing with the other two.

WW actually has more opportunity in this regard than Superman to me, as characters out of myth like Ares and Circe, juxtaposed with ones like Cheeta, play with more obvious thematic juice (war, illusion, bestial nature, etc)

The PO hasn’t officially happened yet. So there is still time.
