When it comes to comic book artists, there are few more talented than Alex Ross. The legendary cover artist also brings his style to this amazing deluxe Batman statue from DC Direct. And while it’s hard to capture Ross’ iconic, painterly-style, this figure does a pretty damn good job of bringing the Dark Knight to life and is definitely one of our favorite Batman statues.
THE SPECS
Designed by Alex Ross, with sculpting by Joe Menna and paint work by David Fischer, this particular Batman statue weighs in at a hefty 9.5 pounds (much of which is from the gorgeous yet heavy steel base). The coolest part of the statue is really how well it captures the look and feel of an Alex Ross painting. The pose in particular is fantastic and you can practically hear the wind whipping around the Dark Knight’s cape as he broods over the streets of Gotham. The attention to detail in the face is also spectacular and it’s cool to see the more realistic view of Batman’s eyes, which is really a hallmark of Ross’ work.

WHAT IT COMES WITH
This is another awesome statue that requires minimal assembly. The base in particular is fantastic and super solid and looks great. There aren’t any interchangeable accessories or heads, but that’s to be expected with these types of Batman statues from DC. Really the figure is ready to go right out of the box and definitely lives up to Alex Ross’ high level of quality when it comes to his art.
THE PRICE
This deluxe Batman statue is definitely not quite as cheap as some of the other DC Collectibles statues and is a little more on the high-end scale. That being said, the price point isn’t bad and given the limited run of the statue (only 5,000 were made), it’s probably a decent investment if you did decide to flip it on eBay or the secondary market.
OUR RATING
With incredible details that capture the vibe and style of Alex Ross and an absolutely stunning pose, this is a rare Batman statue that a lot of fans have already likely snapped up. If you’re a fan of Alex Ross of the Caped Crusader, this is one statue you’ll definitely want to snag.
