Well, DC Comics has an interesting concept for some upcoming variant covers – riff off famous movies.

/Film got the exclusive of four upcoming variant covers from DC including Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman/Superman, and Batman and Robin. Buzzfeed, Screenrant, Hitfix, and IGN recieved the others.

Here’s the full list of titles and the corresponding movie inspirations plus which artist worked on them:

ACTION COMICS #40 inspired by BILL & TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, with cover art by Joe Quinones
