EXCLUSIVE! All NINE will be attached to Facsimile Editions…
On Friday, we broke the news that May’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #4 would have a Super Powers variant featuring crabby, middle-age Bruce Wayne all armored up.
What wasn’t clear at the time was whether this was a one-off or the start of a third wave of Super Powers covers by Jason “ToyOtter” Geyer and Alex Saviuk. Welp, it’s that latter.
Dig the back cover of the DKR #4 Super Powers cover — showing that a total of NINE such covers are on the way:
The Weaknesses and Enemies are hilarious!

As we know, these covers imagine figures that did not exist in the 1980s, though McFarlane Toys has coincidentally produced at least one. Anyway, it does beg the question: Since McFarlane Toys is bringing back Super Powers this summer (through Entertainment Earth) after a hiatus, will any of these be in that assortment? Or any from the first two waves of covers?
If I were a betting man — and I promise you I have no inside dope on this — I’d wager that, from the selection above, McFarlane would do Supergirl, Lobo, First Appearance Batman and Swamp Thing. But that’s just a guess.
And wow, wouldn’t it be great to have that 1941 Batmobile? Man, Jason Geyer knows what heartstrings to pull.

I love that we’re getting more of these. Also that DKR Batman’s weakness is a mustache. ;-D
