Fans will get to see Poison Ivy by Jen Bartel, Nightwing and Barbara Gordon by Jorge Jimenez and Alejandro Sánchez, and G’nort himself, by Simon Bisley! The centerfold artwork will be revealed in the coming week.
Also revealed were the back covers to G’nort’s Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. All four covers will feature the “Gotham Magazine” artwork that Batman holds over his face on the front of J. Scott Campbell’s variant, giving fans the chance to snap an “I’m Batman” selfie for themselves.
