Do it! I'd love to see a better portrait on this piece.

After thinking about it some more, the eventual Darkside one will probably be the way to go.

The fists-on-hip is a classic superhero pose, and outside of a T-shirt iron-on of it I had as a kid, I don't recall seeing that particular source photo used in the film's merchandising and marketing as much the other publicity images. So it's classic, but fresh(er).
Of course the portrait with the DS will likely be a hell of a lot better as well.

I'm in the minority as I usually like mixed media for something like this, but have to admit all sculpted will be much easier to maintain.

And if I have a beef with the base, well that's a hell of a lot easier, less expensive element to customize than getting a whole new portrait sculpted.
