We are quickly approaching the November 25 release date for Dark Knight III: The Master Race, Frank Miller, Brian Azzarello, Andy Kubert and Klaus Janson's eight-issue miniseries chronicling the final adventure of an older Batman. And, as is the way of things, there are going to be plenty of variant covers for collectors to get their hands on.

In addition to the usual variants --- including the 1:5000 sketch variant by Jim Lee that was announced back in August --- there are also going to be retailer-specific covers. DC initially revealed just two, by Jae Lee and Sean Murphy. Now we also have variants by Klaus Janson, Eduardo Risso, Tyler Kirkham, Rafael AlbuequerqueLee Bermejo and Dave Gibbons. Even more covers have also been revealed from Kenneth Rocafort, Ivan Reis, Stanley "ArtGerm" Lau, Tim Sale and Michael Allred. Check them out below.

On the off chance that you missed the announcement, Dark Knight III: The Master Race is the second follow-up to the massively influential groundbreaking 1986 series by Miller, Janson and Lynn Varley, in which an older Batman came out of retirement to battle a Gotham City that was out of control with a new wave of crime. The second part of the trilogu, The Dark Knight Strikes Again, came out in 2001.

Presumably more covers will be revealed as we get closer to the release date, and we'll be sure to keep you updated on them as we go.
