The Batman looks set to be a DC Comics movie like no other, and if the early buzz is to be believed, it stands a chance of being the Caped Crusader's best big screen adventure to date.

Shifting the spotlight to what makes Bruce Wayne the World's Greatest Detective is an exciting approach to the character and with Catwoman, The Riddler, and The Penguin set to appear, director Matt Reeves is clearly embracing the source material. Now, DC Comics has returned the favour with an awesome series of variant covers inspired by the movie illustrated by some of their best artists.

Dreamed up by Carlos D'Anda, Lee Bermejo, Jonboy Meyers, Rafael Albuquerque, Jenny Frison, Puppeteer Lee, Ben Oliver, Ricardo Federici, and Simone Bianchi, each of these covers offer a unique take on the movie's heroes and villains. Some are clearly based very directly on the imagery we've seen from The Batman, while others are a little more stylised and unique. 

The Batman finds the Caped Crusader in his early years, struggling to balance rage with righteousness as he investigates a disturbing mystery that has terrorized Gotham. 

Joining Robert Pattinson in the star-studded ensemble are Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle; Paul Dano as Edward Nashton; Jeffrey Wright as the GCPD’s James Gordon; John Turturro as Carmine Falcone; Peter Sarsgaard as Gotham D.A. Gil Colson; Barry Keoghan as Officer Stanley Merkel; Jayme Lawson as mayoral candidate Bella Reál; with Andy Serkis as Alfred; and Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot.

The Batman is set to be released in theaters on March 4.

F*cking Lee Bermejo, man...

@Doomsday8888 - Even though he’s doing a cover featuring The Batman’s Batsuit, I think it’s pretty clear that there is some inspiration from Lee’s artwork that has gone into Pattinson’s Batsuit.

@bcom - It was the abdominal section for me for some reason. I saw it and my first thought was Bermejo

@oldnoname - Same here dude. Bermejo gives the Batsuit a very utilitarian / tactical look. When I first saw The Batman’s Batsuit I immediately thought it looked like Bermejo’s Batman.

All the covers look great but I still hate the suit. It’s so busy and clunky. Catwoman looks great.

@micvalpro -

Again, here's to hoping the suit evolves into something less so.

@micvalpro - I don’t really mind that personally. What bothers me the most is how far the mouth opening extends. Looks kinda off to me and reminds me more of Daredevil.

If you squint a little it looks like a perfect mix mix between Pattinson's suit and Affleck's.
