The cover of the new DC Essential Graphic Novels , a kind of annual DC guide for bookstores and libraries, brought a tribute to two cinematic versions of its main heroes.
The guide is a book released every year since 2013 – except last year – that introduces new comic book readers which comics are essential to accompany the DC Universe. The covers of the editions almost always show the company’s own characters reading great titles of the brand.
However, the 2021 edition of the guide contains references to some live-action versions of the heroes. On the cover, you can see Wonder Woman from the movie Wonder Woman 1984 wearing his golden armor, as well as Batman wearing Robert Pattinson’s costume in the hero’s next feature, The Batman .
In addition, the Batwoman of Javicia Leslie , the CW series, is also present on the cover.
DC is one of the most famous comic book publishers in the world, having been responsible for some of the most acclaimed graphic novels of the genre, such as Watchmen, The Dead Joke, Dark Knight and V for Vendetta .
