Heath Ledger’s Joker Voice
“Promote a new, darker adult comic line, and nobody panics because it’s all part of the plan. But show one, tiny lil shadow Bat penis and everyone loses their minds!”
I really hope I’m not the only one who thinks this backlash towards the comic is dumb. It makes me a little upset that DC gave in the complaints and took it out of further printings and digital versions. As a straight male did I want to see this? No. But I’m not going to get offended by a comic book that was clearly intended to be mature. Granted I don’t know the inter-workings of how it all played out; it could just be a marketing ploy for the first prints (happy to say I got one), but to me this feels like it was a quick “eager to please” decision of censorship. If you’re going to make a decision to show Batman’s junk, then stand by it when people don’t like. Just give a polite “F*** you, if you don’t like it read something else.”
