Hey guys, I am new to the boards. I was making a purchase on Mycomicshop.com today and I noticed that 1st and 2nd second print direct editions of Batman #457 have the Batman logo on their site. Including the Indicia error version. I am not sure if they used the same pic for all three versions. This just may be the UPC logo for the direct editions of this issue. Not sure if it is a logo variant or not. It has been a while since I took a look at this issue. So I am going to check my PC when I get a chance to see to which versions I may have.  

You could email @mycomicshop to be sure, but I'm sure the description at least for each book should inform and if making a purchase. They're hard-working people, diligent, but human, I'm sure they've got safeties in place but again what you're asking sounds, imo, correct.

Welcome! I'm glad you've joined in and are checking out this thread!

Batman #457 is from 1990, and in 1990 the Batman logo basically just denotes a Direct Edition (vs a newsstand).  As such, it doesn't fall within the scope of the Batman logos being discussed in this thread.  For the variants under discussion, there should be a Direct Edition, newsstand, and the multi-pack and/or reprint variant which has the Batman logo.

Here's what comics.org shows for the different versions of Batman #457 vs what you'll see for BA#16 or BA #19, to help illustrate the difference.

I realize this is not germane to this thread, but the rest of the story on the Batman 457 is that the 457 Direct first printing and the 457 Newsstand first printing each have a variant.   Both of them exist with the number "457" in the indicia, and the number "000" in the indicia.  The "000" was an error.  The error is common in the direct edition, but pretty hard to find in the newsstand edition.   And the newsstand variant of the 457 2nd printing is super hard to find, so it sells for big bucks.  You can see all 6 variants on this youtube video (and there are several threads on this website about them).   When I made this video 10 years ago, the newsstand variant of the 2nd printing was only recently found.   Now they are fairly easy to find because the prices caused them all to come out of the closet, so to speak.

Thanks for the welcome and I appreciate the clarification.  I had a feeling the batman logo was the norm for the direct editions of this issue. I only have the direct edtion 000 error issue. 

Thanks again for the info.
