Comics legends contribute ‘Batman’ #125 variant covers

DC Comics has revealed every cover to grace Batman #125 and there are plenty of them. Why so many? Probably because it’s the launch of Chip Zdarsky as the main writer, which he has said on record will be a long tenure.

Joining him is Jorge Jiménez with Batman #125 coming out July 5th in comic book shops.

What’s Batman #125 about?

In “Failsafe,”  Bruce Wayne is at a turning point, haunted by dreams of a dark future, while Gotham City billionaires are being gruesomely murdered. With the discovery of an archenemy’s involvement and a tragedy unfolding, the Dark Knight’s nightmares are just beginning. Batman has a plan for everything, but can even he plan for the horror that is Failsafe?

And in the backup story, there’s chaos in Gotham as the underworld fights over one of its crown jewels…and Selina Kyle is caught in the middle. Can she stop the bloodshed and maybe even make a little money in the process?
