“Just in time for the release of Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Batman, from visionary filmmaker Matt Reeves, DC is releasing a series of variant covers to comics on sale in March featuring art inspired by the highly anticipated feature film,” DC’s website reads. “A host of fan-favorite comic book artists have contributed art that perfectly captures the intense and moody feel consistent with Reeves’ vision of Bruce Wayne’s first foray as Gotham City’s Dark Knight.”

In The Batman, during his second year of fighting crime, Batman pursues the Riddler, a serial killer who targets elite Gotham City citizens.
