Superman has been in many iconic roles throughout comics history. One specific role that comes to mind is from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. This was published by DC Comics from February to June 1986. This story takes place in a darker DC universe where Superman is almost in the president's pocket and Batman has had enough. Prime 1 Studio captures the essence of the comic through their newest Dark Knight Returns Superman 1/3 scale statue. There is a standard version as well as a deluxe version for this statue. Superman stands 25 inches tall and he is placed on a themed base of a crushed tank with his symbol on it. He does include to swap out headpieces as well as multiple interchangeable hands. The hands include clenched fists, open palms, and one hand holding a Kryptonite Arrow, that fans will know is shot from the armless Green Arrow. The deluxe version will have two additional head swaps including a laser eye aggressive face as well as a smirked face. The deluxe will also come with an additional hand swap with Superman holding a crushed Batman's armored mask. A lot of the time you do see deluxe versions of statues that don't come with much great difference but this one really does change up the statue especially with the extra heads as well as the crushed Batman mask. This statue is perfect to own for any Frank Miller fan or fan of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.

"The rest of us learned to cope. The rest of us recognized the danger–of the endless envy of those not like us. The normal people. The weak. Diana went back to her people. Hal went to the stars. And I have walked the razor's edge for so long… But you, Bruce–you, with your wild obsession. You never learned to let it all go."
