Back in October, DC Comics released the covers for January's variant theme, which focused on the Flash. There will be twenty-two different Flash variants and we got to see them...except for one.

Now DC has given us the first look at the elusive variant cover for BATMAN/SUPERMAN #18 and it was worth the wait.

No Caption Provided

The cover is by Jim Lee and Scott Williams with color by Alex Sinclair. It looks a little familiar and I have to say, it cracked me up. I love this.

In case you forgot (or don't want to click back to our original post), here's the list of other FLASH variants for January along with the images (in alphabetical order).

Interesting to see how much his style has changed, yet also stayed the same. Love seeing him draw pre-52 versions again :)

Nice work as usual, tho I still love the original Batman #612 better.

I would have like to see him draw Superman in his New52 get-up with this.

Ya I agree, he seems to draw them more realistically now, in terms of body mass. But it's still just as awesome as the first.

he always tries to improve his art. You can notice how much batman changed from the beginning of hush to the end. He talks about it in the hush trade.

That is some improvement with the art like what other people have said.

As Jim Lee is my favorite artists and as a collector of his work, I HAVE to get this! What's the best way of making sure I can get this variant? Any suggestions? My local store doesn't always carry a ton of variant covers, and I usually can't get down there until after work when they might have been picked over.

I think the original is much better drawn. Especially Batman's face. This is still cute though (:

Though the art is improved in the variant, the shadows makes the original look cooler.

Ask the owner of the shop if he can hold one for you. Basically just pre order it. Tell him how much you love Jim Lee and how bad you want this. I'm sure if the guy's nice he'll do it for you.

Flash, you’re …;)

I know that this is Jim Lee’ art, but Supes’ face… It strikes me as something what Tony Daniel would draw.
