XM Studios is excited to present Bruce Wayne (Dark Knights of Steel), our first DC Premium Collectibles statue from the Dark Knights of Steel comic run! With the success of XM’s Batman Samurai line featuring a Japanese stylised take of characters, this special release likewise features XM’s take on medieval regalia and attire. Collectors will be able to collect the original Dark Knights of Steel comic look and an altered high fantasy look developed by the XM creative team, building on top of the existing design in the comics in tandem with the storyline. More stylised characters will also be developed in future. Each highly detailed statue is painstakingly handcrafted and expertly hand-painted with XM’s famous quality finish.
The Dark Knights of Steel comic run presents a captivating, high fantasy retelling of the DC Universe with the momentous arrival of the Els by spaceship from their doomed planet, Krypton. In this storyline, the Els would come to befriend King Thomas and Queen Martha, kicking off a cascading sequence of events brimming with knights, magic, and intrigue amidst a warring feud between kingdoms!
In this comic run, Bruce Wayne willingly serves the house of El in a special role – to rid the kingdom of magical beings! They were the ones who had murdered his parents, and they remain the only ones capable of dealing damage to the nigh invulnerable Kryptonians. The XM Studios altered take on Bruce Wayne’s armour features an extensively detailed layered chest plate, amped up leg armour and gauntlets, and an incredibly imposing claymore lending him the air of a mighty warrior, a knight who is ready to defend his kingdom come what may.
