Variant Themed Covers From DC

Very little that DC does these days seems to get my interest. I haven't read a comic book story from that company in a long time. I have never felt so lost and disconnected with comic books in all my life. The really sad thing is that I can find the comics for free if I wanted to read them. I just have no patience for starting the process of getting into a new story.

I can however, give time to these variant covers which seem to be the current rage. And why not? Give creative people a theme (in this case famous movie posters) and a striking series of covers will result. Most of these are pretty standard but some are cool. For some reason I thought I had seen the Prince/Batgirl cover years ago. Or maybe it's just that the idea is so perfect. The purple suit and the purple bike and the purple rain just go together.

 

DC produces these alternate covers several times a year because they get attention from the Internet. It's too bad the insides of the books aren't as compelling as the stories they promise on the outside.

If anyone has any good recommendations on what I could be reading, drop me a suggestion in the comments section. BONUS for anyone who can name all the movies that were the inspiration.

I know I wasn't going crazy. I knew I had see the Batgirl as Princes' Purple Rain before. This one was created years ago by Chris Chiang. Thanks to
