DC has put together a batch of Justice League movie variant covers for a number of their best-selling November titles, and you can check them all out here in one place.

Illustrated by all-star artists, these variant covers depict characters from the team team in the likenesses of their big screen counterparts.
These are likely not all of the covers that will be reaveled between now and November; when Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was in theaters, much of DC’s publishing line had BvS variants.
You can check them out below.
Batman #34
Frequent Bat-artist Tony S. Daniel provides the cover to Batman #34, featuring the DC Extended Universe versions of Batman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman.
In the background is a red sky, so…Crisis? Beware!
Written by Tom King and featuring art by Joelle Jones, Batman #34 is the second part of “Dream of Me,” Batman’s road trip of self-discovery after he gets a yes or no from his proposal to Catwoman.
Batman is on a quest in the desert, far from his Gotham City home. His friends and allies think he’s gone crazy, and his mission puts him far outside the law. Waiting for him at the center of the chaos is an old enemy…and plenty of old demons.
On sale November 1.
Cyborg #18
Li’l Gotham’s Dustin Nguyen painted the cover to Cyborg #18, putting the title character front and center alongside the DCEU’s Batman and The Flash.
In the “Singularity Aftermath” finale, writer John Semper Jr. and artist Will Conrad bring readers a Detroit under attack by Anomaly and his deadly collection of cybernetic monsters! Together with Black Narcissus, Cyborg faces off against Anomaly’s army—including Vic Stone’s opposite number, the cybernetic soldier Aldous—in the final showdown between man and machine.

Action Comics #991
Action Comics #991 will continue the red-hot “The Oz Effect” storyline and lead into the reintroduction of Booster Gold in December’s “Booster Shot.”
“THE OZ EFFECT” part five! After being revealed as Jor-El, Mr. Oz makes his last moves against the Man of Steel and his family and leaves the Man of Tomorrow wondering what other secrets and lies await him in the future as “The Oz Effect” comes to a close.
This cover, by Yanick Paquette, features Wonder Woman and Batman — but it is not the only variant for the issue. A lenticular cover that features Superman breaking Kryptonite chains in an image evocative of a famous Neal Adams cover is also available.
Dan Jurgens wrote the issue, which will be drawn by Viktor Bogdanovic.
On sale November 8.
Superman #35
In one of the final issues due in stores before the Justice League movie hits theaters on November 17, Renato Guedes provided the cover to Superman #35, which features Wonder Woman, Batman, and Aquaman standing atop Superman’s shield.
The issue is written by Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason, and features art by Stephen Segovia, Art Thibert, and Travis Moore.
In “Imperius Lex” part three, Steppenwolf, field general of Apokolips, enlists Superman’s son Jon into his Canine Cavalry to stop Superman from helping Luthor reclaim the throne once held by Darkseid.
Steppenwolf, of course, is the primary villain of Justice League.
On sale November 15.
The Flash #34
Mike McKone provided the variant cover for The Flash #34, which features The Flash front and center with Batman, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman behind him.
Joshua Williamson and Michael Moreci wrote the issue, for which Pop Mhan will provide the art.
In “Black Hole Rising” part one, when a shocking reunion leads to an even more dire discovery about The Flash’s new powers, Barry and Wally will have to confront their rocky past if they both hope to get out alive!
On sale November 8.
Wonder Woman #34
Terry Dodson’s cover for Wonder Woman #34 is barely a movie tie-in in some ways; the current Wonder Woman costume looks enough like the one from the films that this gorgeous cover putting the Gal Gadot Wonder Woman front and center is hardly distinctive from a number of other recent covers that the comic has seen.
Batman, The Flash, and Cyborg from the DCEU make an appearance, but they are so small and Diana is such the focus of the image that it would be easy to believe they were added in after the fact.
In “Children of the Gods” part three, Wonder Woman and her brother, Jason, finally come face-to-face! But after years apart and little knowledge of each other, can the two see eye to eye? Does Jason want anything to do with his divine family? Or does he have another agenda entirely?
On sale November 22.
Aquaman #30
Liam Sharp drew a lot of gorgeous Wonder Woman covers during his run on that book — and she looks great here, too, standing beside Aquaman and Batman in a cover that just screams majesty.
In the “Underworld” finale, written by Dan Abnett and drawn by Stjepan Sejic, after Dolphin confronts Aquaman with the horrifying truth of King Rath’s new regime, all hope for Atlantis is nearly lost until an emotional reunion with Vulko gives Arthur a renewed sense of purpose. Meanwhile, Mera attempts a dangerous new plan to penetrate the Crown of Thorns and reunite with the love of her life…at the cost of her own soul!
On sale November 15.
Justice League #32
Howard Porter, who has been working on titles like Scooby Apocalypse and The Flash of late, is one of the best-known Justice League artists of the last 30 years, and brings his take on he DCEU characters to the cover of Justice League #32.
The image features Cyborg, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Aquaman charging at the reader from a rocky beach and a yellow sky.
The issue features the second part of “Bats Out of Hell,” a Dark Nights: Metal tie-in. The Justice League have been separated by the dreaded Dark Knights and are forced into twisted Bat-Caves designed to kill them! The Batman Who Laughs and the Murder Machine experiment on Cyborg, seeing how he reacts to the horrors of the Dark Multiverse! Can the Justice League survive their worst nightmares made real?!
On sale November 1.
Trinity #15
Ben Oliver paints a gorgeous cover to Trinity #15, and the only one that depicts the cinematic Superman in the flesh (albeit suspiciously without a good look at his face or costume).
In the “Dark Destiny” finale, Constantine’s quick thinking has bought the trinity some time, but is it enough for Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman to stop Circe and Ra’s al Ghul from unleashing the Pandora Pits? Uncertainties mount as Red Hood, Artemis and Bizarro rush in to…save the day?
On sale November 15.
Detective Comics #968
Cully Hamner has Hollywood experience with RED, the movie based on his WildStorm title with Warren Ellis, and also with bringing a new and modern take to the DC Universe (he helped Jim Lee design the costumes of The New 52 reboot in 2011).
Seeing him taking on Wonder Woman and Batman’s DCEU looks, then, isn’t too surprising — although it’s interesting that Gotham looks so distinctly like New York here. Maybe celebrating next week’s New York Comic Con?
In the finale to “A Lonely Place of Living,” Tim Drake is back on Earth — but if the deadly threat he brought back with him from outside of time has its way, it won’t be for long…and this shadowy figure wants to take one of Batman’s team down with him, too! Everything Tim died for the first time is at risk, if he can’t survive this attack!
On sale November 8.
