For this milestone anniversary, Alex Ross created an all-new Batman painting—his stunning recreation of the original first appearance of The Batman from 1939's DC Comics, Detective Comics #27. It is presented here in an exclusive variant cover with vintage-style trade dressing just as released 80 years ago.

To celebrate Ross’s influence on the DC Universe, DC Comics and Alex Ross Art produced this limited variant.
