Fan Family Exclusive: Batman: Li'l Gotham Variant Cover. The Batcow (and Robin) jumped over the moon.

You saw it here first: art for an exclusive variant cover of issue #1 of Batman:Li'l Gotham featuring Batcow. Plus Batman and Robin. Drawn by the mighty Chris Burnham, this book hits comic stores and DCComics.com, on April 10.

Something to note here, comic fans: All kinds of people love Li'l Gotham, from little kids to tweens and moms to dads.

In Li'l Gotham, you'll find the super heroes and arch villains you know and love, but smaller and cuter. The sentimental stories and capers are always set around a holiday -- Halloween and Thanksgiving this time -- and packed with fun glimpses of life in Gotham City.

Chris Burnham variant cover, Batman: Li'l Gotham #2


Gotta love Chris' self-homage to Batcow from Batman, Inc. fame.

Don't forget, Batman: Li'l Gotham started as a digital first and Chapter #7 is out now on ReadDCEntertainment.com and on the DC Nation app.

MTV Announces New Justice League of America Books for February

Back in August, we told you that in 2013, we’d be launching JUSTICE OF LEAGUE AMERICA from the superstar creative team of Geoff Johns and artist David Finch. Today, we’re pleased to tell you that the JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA news only starts there.
 
Earlier this morning, MTV announced that in addition to the release of JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1, February will also mark the launch of two new series: KATANA and JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’S VIBE.
 
Spinning out of BIRDS OF PREY, KATANA will be written by Ann Nocenti (CATWOMAN) and illustrated by Alex Sanchez (JSA CLASSIFIED). And with a premiere issue being co-plotted by Geoff Johns, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’S VIBE will come to you from the creative team of writer Andrew Kreisberg (ARROW) and artist Pete Woods (LEGION LOST).
 
As for JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1? MTV let you know that there will be 52 variant covers of the issue available when it arrives in stores. These variant covers will each feature the flags of all fifty U.S. states, as well as Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico.
 
But there’s more! MTV also announced that starting in February, GREEN ARROW will be getting a new creative team! Kicking off with issue #17, GREEN ARROW will be written by Jeff Lemire (ANIMAL MAN; JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK) and drawn by Andrea Sorrentino (I, VAMPIRE).
