Batman scribe Tom King has been sharing a ton of the variant covers the upcoming Batman #50 issue. The 50th issue marks the upcoming wedding between Batman and Catwoman. However, the wedding might not go off as everyone has planned as a few of Batman’s most notorious enemies including the Joker will be attending the ceremony. And while the wedding might not be as perfect as Catwoman and Batman hope, the covers for this issue are absolutely stunning.
The covers are done by some of the best in business including Mark Brooks, Nick Derington, Clay Mann, Dave Johnson, Neal Adams, Josh Middleton, Joe Busko, Jim Lee and Scott Williams, Jock, Mikel Janin, and Arthur Adams.
Just take a look:

And while Tom King revealed a number of the variant covers, we dug a little deeper to find every single Batman #50 cover we could find including the main cover by Mikel Janin.
Arthur Adams put together a variant as well.
Ale Garza’s variant also reveals Catwoman’s wedding party.
Frank Cho is also creating three interconnected variant covers.
Here’s a close-up of Cover A.
And Cover B.
Finally, Cover C.
All of these Cho covers are available exclusively on his online store.
And there’s still more!
There are so many excellent covers to choose from. It’s hard for me to figure out which one is my favorite! I really like the Natali Sanders, Joe Jusko, Mark Brooks, Warren Louw, and Joshua Middleton covers. Many of these covers will also feature black and white versions, pencil versions, virgin covers, and other variations.
Which cover is your favorite?
Batman #50 will be written by Tom King. It will feature artwork by David Finch, Joelle Jones, Mitch Gerads, RAfael Albuquerque, Neal Adams, Andy Kubert, Becky Cloonan, Ty Templeton, Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, Frank Miller, and Lee Bermejo.
Here’s the official solicitation:
It’s the wedding you never thought you’d see! The Batrimony is real as Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle are set to tie the knot in a can’t-miss, extra-length milestone issue that will reshape Gotham City. All their friends (and a few enemies?) will be party to a comic book coupling for the ages. Superstar scribe Tom King officiates the sure-to-be-offbeat nuptials, joined by an all-star lineup of guest classic Bat-artists doffing their hats to the lucky couple in a series of pre-wedding flashback scenes sure to set the romantic mood.
