Marvel and DC Comics: Did they do the same cover?

That if you widen your view you might notice that both covers are inspired on Michelangel s "La Pieta", a sculpture that has more than 500 years.

@TheVetoSkreeemer good observation skills....I didn't learn about it until i did some research on La Pieta for art appreciation class.

@sailorkeyblader Thanks for the comment, I guessed most people knew since the sculpture is so famous, it has been depicted on many comic covers, one example is the Final Crisis TPB where Superman holds Batman. Be well , and merry xmas to you.
