Dark Knight III: The Master Race variant covers

Holy variant covers Batman! Clearly the release of Dark Knight III: The Master Race is a big deal… A huge deal! The Dark Knight Returns is often voted the best Batman book by fans, so with DC releasing the third chapter in this series, I think we all expected there to be a lot of hype and buzz around the title. I don’t think we expected 50+ variant covers… But, guess what? That’s what we got! 50+ Dark Knight III: The Master Race variant covers, and some of them are REALLY GOOD! So naturally, we decided to pull all of them together for a cover poll(I’m going to pull a line out of Andrew’s book, “You don’t have to thank me.”).

You’ll find each of the variant covers are listed below (please note that some official variants are just the pencils of a completed cover featured below… the pencil covers are not included). Since there are so many covers, I had to create two separate polls. Due to this, the winners will be pulled and announced based on the total number of votes they received. In total, the top 6 covers with the most votes from both polls will automatically move on to the 2015 Best Cover Poll, (so there could be 4 covers from the first poll, and 2 covers from the second, or 3 and 3, or 1 and 5, etc). We will announce the winners in next week’s Upcoming Comics post, so take a couple of hours to view all of these covers, then vote your hearts out before time runs out!
