If you picked up a physical copy ofwriter Brian Azzarello and artist Lee Bermejo’sBatman : Damnedthis week , then you weretreated to a passing glimpse of a whole - nude Bruce Waynein the Batcave . From the sound of it , DC regret greenlighting the determination to show off Batman ’s penis .
According to The Hollywood Reporter , all future impression of Batman : Damned will now have the member in interrogative censored out ( as it already was in digital issues ) after DC decided that the appendage did n’t really add to the series ’ plot . While it ’s true that revealing Bruce ’s dick was n’t absolutely all-important to drive Batman : Damned ’s larger story forward , Bruce being nude does factor into the tantrum within the comic — a minute when he ’s hypothesize to be at his very most vulnerable .
More than that , though , the decisiveness to edit the penis out is rather eyeroll - inducing , debate just how often comic bookartists go out of their elbow room to show off and accent distaff characters ’ bodiesby putting them in impossible positions that — wait for it — have dead nothing to do with a al-Qur’an ’s plot . It ’s a bit unsatisfying to see a major publishing firm backtracking on what otherwise would have been a little step toward balancing out the permeative male regard - iness plaguing mainstream comic . At the very least , Batman : Damned # 1 just became a collector ’s detail you might desire to hold onto .
