COMICS: An Uncensored Issue Of BATMAN: DAMNED #1 May Soon Become A Collector's Item
Yesterday, we brought you guys some Uncensored scans from Batman: Damned #1, but if you decided to pick up a physical copy then you may be sitting on a collector's item very soon. More past the jump...
As we reported yesterday, the uncensored edition of Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo's Batman: Damned #1 gave fans of DC's Caped Crusader a first-ever glimpse of the mighty Bat-penis, and if you managed to get your hands on it - the comic, that is - then you may have made a very wise investment.
We'd heard that DC was planning to censor the images for digital copies of the issue, but now IGN reports that they're also going to alter the panels in future printings to remove the offending Batawang.
A source close to the project told IGN that DC chose to alter the art because it wasn't additive to the story. The first print run currently on sale in shops still features the unaltered art, but all future printings of Batman: Damned will reflect the altered artwork, the source also said.
This obviously makes any first editions of Batman: Damned #1 a lot more valuable, so see if you can nab one before they sell out.
If you haven't seen the scans in question yet, you can check 'em out below - but be warned, you will see a shadowy drawing of a flaccid Bat-dong.

We'll start with a censored pic for the more sensitive among you!
Controversy aside, Batman: Damned does sound pretty cool. It focuses on The Dark Knight and John Constantine teaming up in an attempt to solve the murder of... The Joker?

At one point, Bruce Wayne returns to the Batcave and disrobes as he continues his investigation via the Bat-computer, and that's when we get our first glimpse of the Bat-bulge.

Though some retailers in certain locations have reportedly expressed concern about the uncensored copies, many others are reporting that they're flying off the shelves and have ordered more. So, snapping one of these up could turn out to be a nice investment.
