Several outlets have reported that
Batman Incorporated #3 has been delayed due to the shooting in Colorado which took place at a midnight screening of
The Dark Knight Rises last week. Despite the fact that it has already been delivered to retailers, DC Entertainment sent the following statement to those with possession of the issue explaining why they have decided to now move its release to
August 22nd, 2012 (the same day that
Batman Incorporated #4 will go on sale).
"Out of respect for the victims and families in Aurora, Colorado, DC Entertainment has made the decision to postpone the release of BATMAN INC #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." It's not clear exactly what prompted them to make this decision, although artist Chris Burnham took to his Twitter account to try and clear it up for fans.
