DC comics is hoping a series of new covers will help re-ignite fans’ passion for some of their classic heroes – and it might just work.

March will be “Movie Poster Variant Cover Month,” with some of DC’s most famous characters reimagined as classic movie covers.

Screenrant has some more details:

Variant cover ‘theme months’ have been appearing more frequently of late, whether it’s the memorable ‘selfie’ variants of August 2014, or Harley Quinn’s takeover coming in February 2015. It’s clear that in an age when digital sales are rising at an alarming rate, DC is giving comic readers as many reasons as possible to pick up a physical copy (or two) of their best-known titles.

Check out a collection of the book covers along side their real life movie counter parts below:
