If the Lee cover wasn't to your liking DC's releasing several alternatives.

Of all the things they've brought into main canon from the Dark Knight comics, why are none of them Carrie? She was/is the best thing in those comics, and I'd rather her than any amount of the other rot.

Peter Tomasi was going to have her play a big role in his New 52 Two-Face origin, but then... well, to this day no one's sure exactly why, but she was scrubbed out of the story after just a cameo. Even got Photoshopped out of upcoming solicits (and replaced by Harvey Bullock!).

If you tried to introduce her today I guess too many people would say she overlaps with Steph...

[owlbrigade1]

We could have both her and Steph, and I would be 100% okay with that.

IIRC She was introduced on panel as someone Damian knew, in the stories set after Damian died (for a while), I think she was tutoring him in acting or something like, but then nothing since.

I think my favourite is the Steranko one :D

The first one perplexes me. It's gorgeous, but... isn't that the KKK? Kinda weird choice to portray them attacking white people. I mean, I know they do, but it's not what they're known for.

[cyberghostface]

I don’t think they’re the KKK.

The costumes are reminiscent of the Monk, one of the earliest Batman villains.

[donnblake]

I think they're just generic cultists, but I see where you're coming from.

I can see the sort of pulp-ish feel it's going for, but a woman being held down and choked by two brutish louts in semi-KKKultist robes, and who are armed with a cosh is way too exploitative for a mainstrean cover in 2019 IMHO.

The Steranko one looks like he's about to shout "HELP! HOW DO I GET OFF THIS THING!!!"

Disappointed we didn't get any covers with more of his supporting cast.

Like the 90/00s era, with Cass, Oracle, Spoiler, Tim, Nightwing, etc.
