DC Comics Postpones Batman Inc #3 Over “Content That May Be Perceived As Insensitive”
DC Comics Postpones Batman Inc #3 For A Month Over “Content That May Be Perceived As Insensitive” Written on July 23, 2012 by Rich Johnston in Comics In light of the recent events in Aurora, and in consideration of the victims and the families of the shootings, DC Comics has decided to postpone the release of the third issue of Batman Incorporated because the comic contains “content that may be perceived as insensitive in light of recent events”. They are asking any retailers who do receive copies not to put them out for sale. The comic was originally intended to go on sale on July 25th. The sale date has now been postponed until August the 22nd. |

Unless someone shoots up a movie theater, I don't see the point.

You have to figure that's exactly what it is. I remember a Flash story from the early 1990s when someone starts shooting up a movie theatre.

Coincidences wouldn't be new for DC. Anyone remember the Superman comic they released on Sept. 12, 2001?

I found these scans over on CBR. Its supposedly why this issue was delayed.

For the Columbine Massacre, they refused to print Hellblazer #141 by Warren Ellis and Phil Jiminez. For 9/11 they cancelled Bryan Hitch's "Authority: Widescreen" special. Looks like they're going after Grant Morrison for this one. |

They didn't completely pull it, they just delayed it a couple weeks until the heat is off them. I think it's a good move since the media is probably looking to blame anything possible and comics sales probably can't really take a massive backlash hit in sales in the current day and age.

Well, plus this is a Batman comic and the shooting happened at a Batman movie. There's already a guy suing (among others) Warner Bros. because the movie promotes violence, and I'm sure if DC were a separate entity they would be getting sued separately as well.
Is that a real kid hanging in that second page, or is that a doll? |

Somebody buy the guy who scanned those pages a flatbed. I can't tell what the hell is going on. -ohbfrank-

Haha! Good one! On a semi-related note, I have five copies for sale on eBay for $6 a piece.
