‘Batman vs. Superman’ Reveals Release Dates for Ultimate and Collector’s Editions

Update: Warner Bros. has reached out to confirm that these release dates are incorrect. Original story continues below...

This set will run you $129.99 and isn’t yet available to pre-order. That’s a steep price, but even crazier is the idea that some fan(s) out there will shell out to own two of these box sets just to have both superhero statuettes:
