As bad as the cover art is, Warner has been releasing A LOT of bad cover art for a while. I do agree it will eventually be re-released with something else. At least Warner UK gets it with the original art for this release.
I bought the standard release. While I found the Best Buy steel book a little better looking, I still don't like that at all.
Sometimes I wonder if Warner deliberately released the cover so ugly only so they can re-release it with the original art down the road.
