Looks like it was inspired by Jim Lee's variant cover to Batman 608, the first issue of the Hush storyline.

Gargoyle looks nearly identical.

AI is my guess.

I don't normally like AI art much, but this looks great. Interesting seeing West with a more leather like cape.

AI was my first guess, I was hoping I was wrong.
Nice catch on the gargoyle.

I'm sure it's A.I. as well. I'm generally not a fan of A.I., but this one works and, my opinion only, supersedes Lee's version. I find it makes a great argument to anyone that claims Adam West's Batman couldn't hold it's own against "more serious" versions. Imagine if Dozier decided not to go the camp route? The possibilities...

I would watch the West version. Would not read the comic book version. Probably wouldn’t watch it if it was a TV show, either.

But, again, for me there is only one live action Batman. 😁

Yeah this level of seriousness is a little silly for the version, but not being a fan of Jim Lee's work I think this is a solid take. Can't support AI in any form though, that's just me.
