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.

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