Joker: Another Banned Comic Cover

[spacecaps]

I think it's offensive that they canceled the cover. Grow a pair and publish it. Those that don't like it don't have to buy it. It is a VARIANT cover after all.

The new Batgirl comic is aimed at girls and a younger demographic than DC usually does. The team that works on the comic was not aware of the cover ahead of time and did not approve of it when they saw it. They made the decision to not use it. Not only does the Joker not even appear in the issue, they've also said the Joker will never appear in the new Batgirl comic. If people think that is an appropriate cover for a light hearted comic aimed at young girls, I just don't know what to say.

See, I don't really keep up with these things, at this point. I figured it was for adults. But, if it's for young girls, I get it.

I don't understand why either one was banned.

So DC has cancelled a variant Joker cover for being offensive.

Do you agree or disagree it was the right decision?

How does this compare to the banned Spider-Woman cover a few months ago?



Is one more offensive than the other?

Is there a place for the comics code authority? Is there a rating system for comics these days (I don't even know).
