Batman Has a New Most Ridiculous Outfit (And He Still Looks Amazing)
The Dark Knight channels Chris Evans' Knives Out look in an upcoming variant cover depicting a ludicrous new outfit that Batman still somehow manages to make cool. The art will appear on select issues of Batman #120, coming to comic retailers February 1 from Joshua Williamson, Karl Kerschl, Jorge Molina, and Tomeu Morey. The issue itself will see Batman tangle with new villain Abyss and deal with Lex Luthor's control of Batman Inc. — Bruce's former international team which has since fallen under the sway of Superman's nemesis. Of course, variant covers exist to have a little fun, and while the issue's regular cover features an imposing Abyss, the variant from Dan Hipp goes in a decidedly different direction.
Dan Hipp is a cartoonist and comic artist known to TV fans as the art director of Teen Titans GO! A recent slew of art sees Hipp's comedic instincts take hold, with characters like Moon Knight and Joker depicted in odd new costumes packed with Easter egg references. While Hipp's The Joker 2021 Annual variant cover sees the Clown Prince of Crime festooned with buttons in the likenesses of Gotham's heroes and villains, his Moon Knight art sees Marc Spector adopt an outfit packed with references to Oscar Isaac, who will soon play the brutal vigilante in Disney+'s Moon Knight.
