All-Star Batman & Robin the Boy Wonder cuss like there's no tomorrow

Famous comic creators DC Comics has had to ask stores across the US to destroy all copies of a new Batman comic after a printing error meant there 'a slew of obscentitis' weren't properly censored.

Apparently, the comic's text was supposed to be blacked out, but because 2 different shades of black were used, the F, S & C- words could all clearly be read.

Some examples:
"Text every friend you've got, s- - -heads,"

"Sell your poison somewhere else. This here arcade belongs to the f- - -ing Batgirl."

It seems a bit silly to actually run the risk of this, surely they could just account for the word and instead of printing it just leave a space. Still, I bet there's some excited comic book geeks somewhere lusting over that their issue has now been recalled, and it's got swear words in it.

    That issue will be a major collectible! Grab copies if you can!

    Has DC been doing this "use, but don't use" cussing thing in past issues?

    Its not THAT silly that DC ran with that risk. All-Star Batman and Robin is one of the more adult themed mainstream comics out today. Given the language is rough, there are alot of comics that arent ment for kids.

    But I will agree that this is certainly a collectors item not just because of the swear words and more of the rarity of the issue.
    And its pretty unfair to call people geeks.
