Unless you’ve been living under a rock at the bottom of Gotham Harbor, then you are aware that Batman, Volume 3, Issue #50 will be a most important issue. It is the culmination of all the chases and catches, flirts and kisses, revelations and secrets that transpire between the Bat and the Cat. The two “furries” are to be married. As this is such a monumental occasion, DC Comics has opted to allow retailers to sell variants created by a variety of artists. For those new to comics, a “variant” is a different front cover image than the normal cover produced by, in this case, DC Comics themselves. There has been quite a lot that have popped up recently. Not all of them are for sale yet, but this blog post will be updated as news becomes available. So, for the collectors out there, we have the following covers that we are aware of thus far:
