Featuring Walt Simonson, Dan Mora, Greg Capullo — and MORE…

When DC Comics re-released Batman: The Dark Knight Returns this year as four Facsimile Editions, it included a bunch of homage variant covers by different artists, including four rad ones by Frank Miller.
Miller also has one set for Sept. 2’s Batman #13 — which we showed you here — but there are at least 11 others coming by a variety of illustrators for a litany of Bat-titles.
Three of them — by Klaus Janson and Miller for August 12’s Barbara Gordon: Breakout #4; Bill Sienkiewicz for August 19’s Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #54; and Stanley “Artgerm” Lau for Sept. 2’s Batgirl #23 — have yet to be revealed.
Here are the rest, in chronological order. It’s not yet clear whether the covers will continue into October:

I wonder if these will be collected in the upcoming Dark Knight Returns deluxe edition?
It’d be great if they did!!

Dan, I must say, you run a truly wonderful site here!
Always so informative of upcoming releases and updates. As well as doing a great job with the posted images with related links.
Just wanted to take a moment to show my appreciation for what you do. I know it must take a lot of time and effort to do this.
Thank you.
