Batman Damned #3 is Finally Out Tomorrow – Here's a Preview With John Constantine as Robin

Originally, Batman Damned #3 by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo was intended to be published in January 2018, four months after Batman Damned #1 in September. Then the news cycle hit and an unforeseen full frontal Bruce Wayne changed DC Comics overnight, as a microscope fell on every panel of every comic. Announced comics such as Second Coming and Safe Sex were jettisoned along with the Vertigo imprint and DC universe books with a T+ age guidance, and micromanagement was the order of the day, with fellow Black Label titles Superman: Year One and Batman: The Last Knight getting new language restrictions.

Batman Damned #2 needed significant redrawing so as to avoid causing more offence, and so it was delayed, but Batman Damned #3 was delayed even more, a total of five times -and five months. It will be finally published by DC Comics tomorrow.

And here's a preview… oh look, it has John Constantine wearing a Robin-style domino mask, and Swamp Thing reunited… and note the Arkham Asylum and Killing Joke touches.
