Dig DC’s Upcoming DARK KNIGHT RETURNS Merch

A classic that never goes out of style…

A few years ago, I asked Frank Miller, “You’ve probably heard every question there is to ask, so I’m sitting here thinking, ‘What about your work do you wanna talk about that you never get to discuss?'”

His answer? “Oh. Um…Hmm… How much I love having toys made out of it.”

And he wasn’t kidding, either. (Click here for the whole bit. It’s a kick.)

Anyway, as it happens, it’s Frank Miller’s birthday — he’s now 62 — and just the other day DC Collectibles announced a number of new Dark Knight Returns items that should interest long-time fans. They’re not toys, but they are work a look.

Check ’em out, complete with their official solicitation descriptions below. Oh, and for our full Frank Miller birthday celebration — spotlighting DKRclick here.

DC GALLERY: DARK KNIGHT RETURNS BATMAN COWL

Sculpted by ALTERTON

The DC Gallery collection presents reproductions of some of the most iconic props and  art from across the DC Universe. For the latest release, the team has launched a collection of Batman cowls, each representing a beloved rendition of the Dark Knight’s headgear from comics, games and much more. The latest piece in the series comes from the 1986 classic BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS.

The cowl design is based on Frank Miller’s illustrations of an aging Batman; the mask is set to showcase a wider, tired and grimaced face. The design was already iconic then, and its influence has since been seen in comics, games and movies alike.

THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS: BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN MINI BATTLE STATUE

Sculpted by DEREK MILLER

Coming in 2019 is a new line of mini-statues, each a re-creation of one of the most popular statues from DC Collectibles history, with the same quality and detail but at a reduced scale and price.

Batman and Superman are longtime allies and founding members of the Justice League, but sometimes rifts emerge and they find themselves on opposite sides. Of these showdowns, there is none more iconic than the one from the seminal BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS by the legendary Frank Miller, where an aging and heavily armored Dark Knight faces down a reluctant Man of Steel.

Cast in high-quality polyresin to fully re-create this beloved clash, this ministatue will be a great addition to the collection of any Superman, Batman or DC Comics fan.
