DC Comics has announced that its March 2015 variant covers will pay tribute to some of the most iconic films of the past 100 years. Here, compiled for your viewing pleasure, are all 22 special edition covers, along with the movie posters that inspired them.


The covers were debuted yesterday by DC, Screenrant, BuzzFeed, /Film, IGN, and HitFix, and pay tribute to such films as Gone With The Wind, Free Willy, The Mask, North by Northwest, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Mars Attacks!, and a lot more. (Notably, most of the films are owned by Warner Bros., and all but three of the films were released in the 20th Century – the exceptions being Harry Potter, Magic Mike, and 300.)
