Sideshow and Infinity Studio have opened pre-orders for a Knightmare Batman 1:1 Scale Silicone Life-Size Bust, a new licensed DC Comics collectible built around one of the bleakest versions of the Dark Knight. The bust is priced at $4,700 and is expected to ship between November 2026 and April 2027.
The piece stands 40.2 inches tall and leans hard into the ruined-future look that made Knightmare Batman memorable in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and later in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. The bust includes a real-fabric trench coat, scarf and hand bandages with heavy texture and screen-accurate detail, along with hand-painted armor marked by layered weathering that reflects prolonged desert erosion and combat damage.
Batman is posed with a tactical telescope in his right hand and his helmet in his left, while sand-dusted goggles add to the wasteland feel. The bust sits on a diorama-style base inspired by Darkseid’s silhouette in the wasteland, and the LED-powered base glows orange and red around Batman’s waist when lit.
That image comes from the Knightmare timeline, the dystopian future in which Darkseid rules and Superman has fallen under the influence of the Anti-Life Equation. It is a corner of the DC universe that divided audiences when it first appeared, but it has since found a devoted following among Batman fans who embraced its scorched, end-of-days look.
The timing matters for collectors because the bust is available now only by pre-order, with shipping spread across a long window that begins in November 2026 and runs through April 2027. Sideshow is also offering a 1:1 scale Darkseid mask for pre-order, extending the same grim aesthetic into another display piece for the same shelf space.
For buyers, the appeal is not mystery. It is exactness. The bust is meant to freeze a specific screen version of Batman at full scale, in full armor, in the middle of the ruins. That is the hook, and for fans who never let go of the Knightmare look, it is the answer.
