If you've ever wondered what Batman's groin would look like rendered in a digital mesh wire-frame, look no further than the cover to June's Batman Incorporated #8. Remember that time Homer Simpson journeyed to the third dimension? It's a little like that. But with the Batman. And less jaundice.
The issue features a "virtual reality murder mystery." Which is something I attempted once with a travel version of Guess Who and Skype. Unfortunately my friend didn't have their own Guess Who so we had to use the video conferencing feature and I won really easily but not in a satisfying way.
Here's a sneak peak at the cover courtesy of DC and artist Chris Burnham.
We very rarely highlight upcoming covers, but this one is too cool not to share.
Look for Batman Inc. #8–three months and five issues from now–in June!

Seems pretty similar to the Red Robin arc.
Hey know who’s awesome? Chris Burnham.
he’s on the holodeck! Moriarty is up to no good again.
Remember when Homer went into cyber space? This really reminds me of that.
Cyber Batman??? Whatever it will be good to see Babs in the book
If anywhere needs the Batman, it’s the Internet.
@Paul, there seems to be a lot of Jaundice in this cover. love that cyber chalk outline. very cool!
Coming out in June!? Hahaha!!
Yeah right….maybe in June of 2011!
Seriously though great cover by Burnham.
So… this June?
@TheNextChampion June 2011 is actually the next June we’ll be experiencing. It’s the June they’re talking about.
All your justice are belong to us.
this series has been good but the schedule has been ridiculous. itll probably all tie together in an interesting and mind bending way
@gobo/Paul: WOW!……I’m really stupid.
has anyone mentioned that this is similar to the time homer when into the third dimension yet?
I for one will be listening to the Daft Punk Tron soundtrack while reading this. Hope it’s better than the snoozer Red Robin Unternet issue. (Love that cover.)
I really really hope that we get to see some sort of Digital Oracle or Barbara Gordon Batgirl in this issue…plz, Mr. Morrison!
Take that Marvel! Batman will be using his bat “disc” to fight in the “Games” all the while searching for the “users” on the grid.
End of Line.
Holy Bat-matrix!!!
I think this looks silly.
The groin is ridiculous- and the whole thing is like a sean chen iron man leftover from 1999
only not as well done.
Is he going to take the blue pill or the red pill?
Its the Unternet.
Do you think they sell St. Ides in Gotham?
