Just ahead of The Batman's theatrical release, DC Comics is releasing nine — count 'em, nine — variant covers of various Batman universe comics in March, all inspired by the gritty look of Matt Reeves' new dark knight adventure.
Check out the gallery below for a look at the covers
In order of appearance the variant covers will be available for:
My particular favorites? Catwoman wielding a bike chain like a whip, and Paul Dano's Riddler looking like the Zodiac Killer on a particularly gruesome day.
You can pre-order each comic at your local comic book store now. In the meantime, The Batman releases in theaters on March 4, and you can read about how Colin Farrel's version of the Penguin was inspired by The Godfather, or how Robert Pattinson's agent was shocked to hear he wanted the role of Batman.
We've also got a whole three minutes of footage from The Batman, which director Matt Reeves posted following a leak. If Batman isn't your speed, check out every other upcoming DC show and movie.
