As another strong sign of a good year ahead for Batman as a franchise, the Caped Crusader just had the coolest spiritual crossover of all time. With the dark fantasy aesthetic and clear-as-day inspiration from Berserk, the comic book legend’s coolest statue was just unveiled out of the DC Omniverse’s furthest reaches.
As posted by Prime 1 Studio, the “Batman the Berserker Rage Mode” statue comes out of Batman’s Ultimate Premium Masterline with a regular and Deluxe Bonus Edition. With an eye-watering price range of $1819-2354USD depending on which edition one may choose, it’s a tough sell, but a worthy option for the hardcore Batman fans and strugglers alike.
Batman’s Berserk-Inspired Statue Looks Absolutely Insane
Dropping via Prime 1 Studio’s website as of January 27, 2026 in Japan, “Batman the Berserker Rage Mode” features the Dark Knight clad in what closely resembles Guts’ Berserker Armor from Berserk. Standing atop a vanquished Bane, owners can customize this statue with any of the five massive, Gothic/dark fantasy-style melee weapons, interchangeable heads, and LED lighting.
Batman the Berserker Rage Mode’s base release includes the following:
- Head x 3 (1st form: Front, Downward, Final form)
- Right Arm x 5 (Judgment of Faith, Death Bringer Sword, Spear of Justice, Phantom Axe, Demon Slayer)
- Left arm x 2 (bare hand, wrist blade)
- Special base
- Headstand x 1
- Bonus: Head x 1 (2nd form), Headstand x 1
- LED light-up function (Batman’s eyes)
Additionally, the Deluxe Bonus Edition, available only in Japan via Prime 1 Studio’s store, includes a third swappable head, as well as a special Batman bust or “headstand”, featuring Batman’s steely, furious glowering face clad in metal. It’s possibly the coolest Batman statue ever, especially for Berserk fans who want a particularly unique addition to their collection.
From the posing, to the weapon nomenclature strongly resembling weapons like the Dragon Slayer, to the stark, grim aesthetic of the armor, this Batman statue is among the only glimpses of Berserk releases yet. It even sparks hopes for similar treatment based on its other key characters.
Batman Is Off to a Strong 2026 Start
Berserk Is Another Matter, Though
With multiple projects coming, namely season 2 of Batman: Caped Crusader, the animated Knightfall movie, and a live-action DCU Clayface film, Batman is on fire, and this latest statue is just another example of his multifaceted appeal. This comes before even mentioning the current acclaimed comic runs and upcoming Robert Pattinson sequel film.
However, Berserk is slower to start 2026, continuing its trend of sporadic chapter releases handled with utmost care at the wishes of the late Kentaro Miura. Berserk’s most recent update in the New Year was new series supervisor and close friend/colleague Kouji Mori’s confirmation of the series affirming more chapters, alongside his own projects, are coming.
“Happy New Year! Looking forward to your continued support this year too!! This year as well, I’ll be tackling my own serialization and the supervision of Berserk with full effort!
As always, I won’t be drawing Guts in the main story! Rest assured ~
That said, Guts is really difficult to draw… Mr. Kurosaki is truly amazing!!”
-Kouji Mori
Still, it’s a good time to be a fan of both series. While Berserk certainly still lacks in terms of media adaptations, including a definitive video game beyond simply inspiring other massive franchises, it’s good to see its imprint even on the foremost Western properties like Batman.
