Fearing the actions of a god-like SUPER HERO left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis' most revered, modern-day saviour, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with BATMAN and SUPERMAN at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before.

Established with firm Canadian roots, SUPERMAN was the first SUPER HERO, spawning countless new characters in the DC COMICS pantheon.  He was the inspiration for a new archetype that not only still exists today, but is more popular than ever.  Many important Canadian visionaries continue to shape the DC COMICS Universe even today, lending their talents as storytellers and further building on the history that began in 1938.

While debate rages over whether he is a "saviour" or a "false god," SUPERMAN has become widely known following the destruction of METROPOLIS in Man of Steel. Meanwhile, BATMAN has always preferred to remain in the shadows and rarely allows more than a fleeting glimpse of him in action; as a result, the DARK KNIGHT is considered a vigilante by most, and a possible myth by others. The two characters seem worlds apart—particularly when one possesses superpowers and the other relies on stealth—yet they share a common purpose in the fight for justice. The coin's reverse symbolically brings together their two logos to create a single one, which embodies both the differences and similarities between these iconic SUPER HEROES.

Design:
Your coin features the application of vibrant colour over engraving in its depiction of SUPERMAN, who is seen here in a pose that conveys his incredible strength and power. In the background, carefully positioned polygon shapes are contrasted through the use of frosted finishes in order to create a stunning "shattered glass" effect; this visual element is highly symbolic, for it represents the "shattering" of what was established in Man of Steel and the challenges that lie ahead after SUPERMAN has revealed himself to the world. Wearing a variation of his Man of Steel costume, SUPERMAN turns his gaze to the sky while keeping his fists clenched in a show of steely resolve; the iconic red and yellow S-shield stands out from his blue costume, while the right-of-centre positioning of SUPERMAN allows for his red cape to billow majestically with each step. Above his cape is the engraved identifier "SUPERMAN" in the Kryptonian syllabic writing system.

Your coin features the application of colour over engraving in its depiction of BATMAN jumping into action, as seen from the ground. In the background, carefully positioned polygon shapes are contrasted through the use of frosted finishes in order to create a stunning “shattered glass” effect; this visual element is highly symbolic, for it represents the “shattering” of what was established in Man of SteelTM and the challenges that lie ahead after SUPERMAN has revealed himself to the world. Wearing his iconic grey costume with yellow utility belt, BATMAN has his arms out to steady himself as he sails through the air. A soft light falls upon the seasoned crime-fighter, illuminating his famous cowl and the black bat-shaped symbol on his chest. Above his outstretched arm is the engraved identifier “BATMAN” in the Kryptonian syllabic writing system.

Your coin features the application of colour over engraving in its depiction of WONDER WOMAN in a fierce battle-ready pose. In the background, carefully positioned polygon shapes are contrasted through the use of frosted finishes in order to create a stunning "shattered glass" effect; this visual element is highly symbolic, for it represents the "shattering" of what was established in Man of SteelTM and the challenges that lie ahead after SUPERMAN has revealed himself to the world. WONDER WOMAN is a force to be reckoned with in the red, gold and blue colours of her Phoenician armour, complete with tiara and bracelets; the Lasso of Truth is strapped in its usual position on her waist as she holds a sword in one hand, and clenches the other to make a fist. Her facial features convey her famous strength, fearlessness and resolve, while the impression of wind-blown locks infuses the design with a sense of movement. To the left of this warrior is the engraved identifier "WONDER WOMAN" in the Kryptonian syllabic writing system.

Your coin features the application of vibrant colour over engraving in its recreation of the famous BATMAN and SUPERMAN logos. In the background, carefully positioned polygon shapes are contrasted through the use of frosted finishes in order to create a stunning "shattered glass" effect; this visual element is highly symbolic, for it represents the "shattering" of what was established in Man of SteelTM and the challenges that lie ahead after SUPERMAN has revealed himself to the world. Superman's iconic red and yellow S-shield is superimposed over the black-coloured bat symbol of Gotham City's DARK KNIGHT; the merging of these two logos represents the idea that despite the fact that they are at odds in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the two SUPER HEROES are nonetheless part of the same "battle" for justice—a common purpose in spite of their different styles.
