With the release of the highly anticipated movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeTM, the Royal Canadian Mint is excited to introduce an unforgettable series of coins! TheyÕre Òtwo sides of the same coinÓ: Two iconic logos are cleverly combined as one to illustrate the duality and similarities between BATMANTM and SUPERMANTM . Frosted finishes add a contrasting element to the polygon shapes that create a stunning Òshattered glassÓ effect; this dramatic visual symbolizes the ÒshatteringÓ of what was established in the previous film, Man of SteelTM.

Established with firm Canadian roots, SUPERMANTM was the first SUPER HEROTM, spawning countless new characters in the DC COMICSTM 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 COMICSTM Universe even today, lending their talents as storytellers and further building on the history that began in 1938.

The reverse image features the application of vibrant colour over engraving in its recreation of the famous BATMANTM and SUPERMANTM logos. In the background, carefully positioned polygon shapes are contrasted through the use of frosted finishes in order to create a stunning Òshattered glassÓ effect; this visual element is highly symbolic, for it represents the ÒshatteringÓ of what was established in Man of SteelTM and the challenges that lie ahead after SUPERMANTM has revealed himself to the world. SUPERMANTM'S iconic red and yellow S-shield is superimposed over the black-coloured bat symbol of Gotham CityÕs DARK KNIGHTTM; the merging of these two logos represents the idea that despite the fact that they are at odds in Batman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeTM, the two SUPER HEROESTM are nonetheless part of the same ÒbattleÓ for justiceÑa common purpose in spite of their different styles.
