After 79 years, Batman’s penis finally makes its debut in the latest Batman comic.
The reveal comes in the first issue of Batman: Damned, a limited series by writer Brian Azzarello and artist Lee Bermej. In the scene in question, Batman/Bruce Wayne has returned to the Batcave and begins to remove his Batsuit. Next come three panels in which a disrobed Bruce is lit from behind, with the light clearly and unmistakably emphasizing his genitals.
Currently, little Wayne is only seen in the print version of the issue – the digital version has been altered so that the Dark Knight’s squire is obscured by shadows. DC Comics has not commented publicly on the matter, but Polygon reports that the digital panel was altered because DC’s editorial staff does not consider the nudity essential to the story. You can see the censored version below:

DC did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.
As for the uncensored image, it’s not explicit enough for anatomy class, just the outlines contrasting with the shadows, but it’s clear enough that some very specific details can be made out. Look, there’s no other way to put it: Bruce Wayne is probably circumcised.

Now, before you worry that this is the new norm for the Caped Crusader’s comic book adventures, fear not. Batman: Damned is a standalone story, detached from mainstream continuity, part of DC’s new Black Label imprint. The mature line of graphic novels includes new titles and reprints from heavyweights like comic legend Frank Miller and Oscar-winning screenwriter John Ridley.
For those of you who read Batman for the articles, in Batman: Damned, the Joker has apparently been murdered and Batman, who has mysterious memory lapses, fears he may be the culprit. So Bats teams up with sorcerer John Constantine and ghostly do-gooder Deadman to find out what happened. It’s out now in comic shops and on digital platforms.
