BATMAN INCORPORATED #3 Delayed Due To Colorado Tragedy, Warner Brothers To Donate To Charity

DC Comics is delaying the release of this week's BATMAN INCORPORATED #3 due to it containing "content that may be perceived as insensitive in light of recent events.”  The issue as been rescheduled for an August 22nd release.

In an email sent to retailers, DC said “Out of respect for the victims and families in Aurora, Colorado DC Entertainment has made the decision to postpone the release of BATMAN INCORPORATED #3 for one month because the comic contains content that may be perceived as insensitive in light of recent events. We request that retailers do not make this issue available as previously solicited.”

Artist Chris Burnham tweeted that the comic is finished and has been printed.

In a somewhat related story, Warner Brothers announced that they will donate a "substantial" donation to charities supporting victims of the shooting in Aurora, Colorado.
