It's a little more than that.

Generally, if the actual cover differs from the solicits, there's a reason. DC want's that under wraps from the consumer up until they hit the LCS. As a non-news site, it really isn't our job to beat 'em to the punch.

Specifically, there have been times where cover images include plot twists which were hidden in the solicits. Blacked out areas, internal art used instead, possible early/alt version used, or plain no art. Do I think these would be what CRB posts? No. DC would likely stop giving them exclusive previews if it were.
