Japanese high-end statue manufacturer Prime 1 Studio's "Museum Masterline" product series welcomes new additions to its DC Comics "Dark Nights: Metal" themed statues: "Batman Earth-1" and "Batman - The Devastator"! This article will bring you product information for the "Batman (バットマン) Earth-1" 1/3 scale full body statue!
Many years ago, on Earth-1 of the Dark Multiverse, Superman, once the world's beacon, went mad! Unbelieving heroes desperately tried to find the cause, until Superman killed his wife, Lois Lane, and Batman gave up... In the decisive battle against Superman, Batman's right hand, holding a Kryptonite spear, was severed by Superman's heat vision. As Superman declared he didn't understand why others thought Batman could defeat him and prepared to deliver a fatal blow to Bruce, a desperate and resolute Batman injected the "Doomsday Virus" from his utility belt. While gaining immense power, his body began to transform into a terrifying, Doomsday-like appearance, and his severed right arm rapidly regenerated. Thus, "Batman - The Devastator" was born.

This time, P1S not only presents the powerful Devastator but also focuses on Batman Earth-1's valiant struggle against the maddened Superman. This piece stands approximately 43 cm tall, depicting Batman in a crouching pose, holding a Kryptonite spear in his right hand and clenching his left fist. The head sculpt's gritted teeth expression and deeply furrowed brow vividly convey Batman's desperate resolve! The Batsuit not only features exquisite textures and rich layering but also boasts outstanding muscular definition. The cape on his back can also be freely attached and detached, further enhancing its versatility.
The DX version will also include an additional head sculpt and interchangeable right arm parts, allowing you to recreate the moment just before Batman Earth-1 transforms into a monster due to injecting the Doomsday Virus! The sheer tragedy of being forced to resort to such a measure against a maddened Superman!
