In a world where everyone wants to be Batman, DC is making it easy with the release of G’nort’s Illustrated Swimsuit Edition next month. The one-shot, which was announced in May, will feature 48 pages of art and two complete stories, but it’s the back cover that Batfans may want to pay attention to.
You might remember back when the title was announced that J. Scott Campbell and Tanya Lehoux have created a variant cover for the title featuring Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle at the beach. Even on his day off, Bruce can’t help but be Batman:
This week DC has revealed that the cover to the issue of Gotham Magazine Bruce is holding will be the actual back cover of the swimsuit special:
Which means fans can mimic the variant cover and pretend to be Batman! Catwoman not included.
In addition to the back cover — which will appear on all copies, no matter which cover you buy — DC also revealed several more variant covers for the special by Pablo Villalobos, Adam Hughes, Tiago da Silva and Will Jack:
Finally, each issue of the special will include one of three randomly inserted centerfolds, distributed in equal quantities: Poison Ivy by Jen Bartel, Nightwing and Barbara Gordon by Jorge Jimenez and Alejandro Sánchez, and G’Nort by Simon Bisley (oh my!) DC has not yet revealed the artwork for those yet.
G’nort’s Illustrated Swimsuit Edition comes out Aug. 29.
