DC Comics have confirmed Batman’s penis will be removed from all future printings of Batman: Damned – but can you put the batawang back in the bag?

The internet became an unholy place after Batman’s penis was shown for the first time, unsheathed in the first issue from a new DC Black Label line aimed at adult readers.

DC Comics have now confirmed to the Guardian Batman’s penis has been revoked from public consumption, with future print editions of the comic set to censor the nudity.

It was previously reported DC would censor out Bruce Wayne’s manhood because it ‘did not add to the story’ – which was probably very obvious before they pulled the genital trigger.




Batman’s penis, however, will likely cast a long shadow – considering 115,000 copies are still out there in circulation.

It probably doesn’t help it’s been covered by a number of talk shows, with US chat show host Seth Meyers poking fun at the whole debacle.

‘Well, I just have to say I’m glad his parents aren’t alive to see this,’ Meyers said.

‘As Batman said, “Before you judge, I was fighting Mr. Freeze!”’

His penis, however, prompted Stephen Colbert to reminse over past Dark Knight nudity gone-by, writing on Twitter: ‘I’m old enough to remember when it was a big deal to see Batman’s nipples.’

Nope, Bruce Wang is never going away.
