Snowflakes can't handle Batman's penis


Don't know the politics of the bat-pole prudes, but Snowflakes they are. How far we've regressed in 9 years.

NYCC Bar Talk: How Batman’s Penis Is Damaging DC Comics From Within
https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/10/05/nycc-batman-penis-destroying-dc-comics-within/

For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, the recent Batman Damned #1, the first of DC’s Black Label mature readers line of superhero comics, by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo, featured a naked Bruce Wayne walking through the Batcave, his penis dangling in the breeze.

It became an item of immense interest, with Bleeding Cool devoting much of our reporting resources to it. The Batawang as one wag dubbed it, his national headlines, was featured on late night talk shows and drove sales of this relatively expensive first issue so that it became the biggest speculator item going, despite DC Comics having printed 110,000 of them. Issues now sell from $60 to $100, more if it is signed or slabbed.

There was also some controversy, as the preview that some retailers had seen, did not have the Batpole as another wag dubbed it displayed as prominently. And the digital preview version didn’t have it at all. And that was also the version that DC sold digitally, with the Batpenis hidden in shadow.

Then DC Comics stated that only the censored version would appear in future printings.
