The Batwoman one is pretty cool.

I really wish DC would release an issue with all of these covers--and the bombshell ones--in one book.

I wasn't going to get the Bombshell issues as I saw the arists is selling prints of them but postage to the UK is $53 on top of the price of the print.

I imagine he might not have had time to put much more design time into these, but I think they would have been more interesting if he had done more than just use classic versions of the costumes, but also apply the same changes to them that we would have seen had these characters appeared on the Batman TV show. Which is to say, they would have been a lot less threatening and you'd have seen all of the eyes behind the masks. Things like belt buckles would have been way bigger than they needed to be, and capes would have been smaller.

These are so pretty.

love the JSA cover.

[Star-Lord]

1:25 covers. Dang that means people will blast 'em up to 10 quid on eBay. Figured they'd be like Skottie Young covers where there's loads available.

I'd love to see this art in a new Batman Incorporated...

I absolutely LOVE that JSA cover. Man, I miss those guys.

[RobinFan4880]

Action Comics' cover is so cool. I really dig the other two as well.

[Kurosawa]

I miss the JSA so much.

Surprised there isn't more outrage on this thread given that Batman and cast are featured on them all. Oh right, they are variants, as I tried to explain in the original thread on these. I like these a lot, especially the JSA, GLC and Aquaman ones. And the Batman and Frankenstein one is hilarious:

You must be seeing different covers than the rest of us.
