Back in December, DC Entertainment announced that their ongoing monthly themed variant cover program for March would showcase variants for ten of DC Comics’ most popular Batman and Superman titles. The variants are to be polybagged with a Batman v Superman theme, concealing stunning cover artwork by the comic industry’s most talented artists!
March’s Batman v Superman polybagged comics will follow a format similar to December’s Harley’s Little Black Book variant program, where three different versions of each variant were printed in equal quantity. All ten upcoming Batman v Superman comics will also have three versions printed in equal quantity, but this time they’ll be published in full color, fade and character spotlight.
What’s that look like? Two more of these top-secret images are now ready—Chris Daughtry and Jim Lee’s variant covers for Batman #50 and Charlie Adlard’s variant covers for Superman/Wonder Woman #27!

A new trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has hit the web and not only does it provide new footage (and footage that has me really excited for the film), it also gives us a hell of a hint at the debut of the villain Darkseid who has been hinted at being in the movie.
First, this trailer, plus previous ones, have featured these strange flying beings, which look a lot like Darkseid’s shock troops Parademons.
But, now we get this scene which features a large Omega on the ground, a symbol associated with the character.
We don’t know how Darkseid will make his debut, but it looks like we can expect a battle for the ages at some point.
