Bleeding Cool ran a story earlier this morning, detailing the approach to male physical anatomy in Batman: Damned #1 by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo. In that, it was quite clear that Bruce Wayne was circumcised.

But for one section of the audience, they hadn't seen a thing. And messaged Bleeding Cool accusing us of faking the images. Not true, But I discovered the people who were speaking to were all digital comic book readers.

Because DC Comics, in their infinite wisdom has provided a censored version of Lee Bermejo's art on Batman: Damned #1 for the digital market. Those who download copies from ComiXology or the DC App get these scenes instead.

Though the Batbutt remains in all its glory. If you want to see what DC Comics decided your digital devices could not withstand, click here.

The Joker is dead.
There is no doubt about that. But whether Batman finally snapped his scrawny neck or some other sinister force in Gotham City did the deed is still a mystery.
Problem is, Batman can't remember… and the more he digs into this labyrinthine case, the more his mind starts to doubt everything he's uncovering.
So who better to set him straight than… John Constantine? Problem with that is as much as John loves a good mystery, he loves messing with people's heads even more. So with John's "help," the pair will delve into the sordid underbelly of Gotham as they race toward the mind-blowing truth of who murdered The Joker.
BATMAN: DAMNED is a bimonthly super-natural horror story told by two of comics' greatest modern creators-a visceral thrill-ride that proudly puts the "black" in BLACK LABEL.In Shops: Sep 19, 2018
