Maybe they wanted to redeem the Batman character after Christian Bale destroyed him with his lisp and ridiculous deep voice, but DC Comics has ordered that shipments of the comic book be destroyed.
Turns out a "printing error" has caused swears and dirty words (like shit, cunt, bitch etc.) to appear throughout the comic. They're saying that the words were to be blacked out, but when they were printed they used two different tones of black so the words were clearly readable.
Batgirl is seen saying "Text every friend you've got, shitheads. Sell your poison somewhere else. This here arcade belongs to the fucking Batgirl."
They caught the error after shipments to comic book stores were sent out, but they asked that the store owners destroyed them on arrival... unlikely. Some distributors, like St. Mark's Comics in NY, aren't destroying them, and they can be fond on ebay for up to $250 so far.
Sounds like a publicity stunt since they knew damn well that no one would destroy those gems. And I can't figure out why there was profanity printed on it in the first place?
