Lol, zipped up Catwoman. Thats funny. I like that.

That's cool, a lot of those covers have become extremely iconic. Too bad they couldn't all reflect the transformation of the series the way Batgirl/Green Lantern does.

Also a non-phallic bag of diamonds! Great stuff.

I wonder if this could be taken as confirmation that Albuquerque will be part of the new Bats team? A guy can dream, at least.

Also interesting to note that WW is back to her normal outfit, everyone else seems to be in their newer duds. Maybe her (admittedly terrible) new outfit has been scrapped?

Oh please let this be an end to the horror of the New 52! If they don't revert back to pre-Flashpoint DC right away, they're eternally screwed!

I love that the Catwoman cover has her zipped up. Yay

The Flash one, Wonder Woman and Aquaman are all quite iconic. Heck that is probably the most used image of the Flash now.

It's not happening. Let it go. It's been five years.

That Batgirl variant is terrible. It's like Babs made her look derpy on purpose.

[Mister Ferro]

It's been 4 and a half years, they ain't going to revert back, sorry to burst your bubble.

February 12, 2016: DC celebrates the endurance of the New 52


Considering how some sales have been, I'll be impressed if Catwoman keeps going after this. Otherwise, I kind of expect this to be her final issue.

Aside from The Flash & Green Arrow, to me at least, the original covers are WAY better. And, despite the following the "new" Batgirl has, the original New 52 look was so much better. She now looks like she belongs in that kiddie cartoon Titans GO!

[DayoftheHero]

These are all really awesome, and a very cool tribute to the New 52.

[Mister Ferro]

Also can't we just celebrate that these book saw 50 plus issues????????

We won't be seeing anymore 50 plus issues for "potentially" 5-6 years from DC proper.

The only books at Marvel that could see #50 are Star Wars and Darth Vader, none of the ANAD certainly won't get to see that big of a #.

Hell, none of what the next Marvel relaunch will be won't get to see #50.
