The Batman's Penis Censorship Controversy originated in September 2018 following the release of the comic 'Batman: Damned #1' under DC's mature-oriented Black Label. A specific panel featured a silhouette of Bruce Wayne undressing, which revealed more of the Dark Knight than fans were accustomed to seeing. The internet instantly erupted with memes, leading DC Comics to retroactively censor the digital editions and remove the detail from future printings. This meme is typically used to satirize corporate panic over nudity, the irony of 'mature' content labels, and the unintended viral fame of minor artistic details.
