I mean all books are political, but obviously Brexit is an influence on that and the concept of what British identity is and the Arthurian myths and how they actually have been twisted and tweaked over the years. The idea of the myth was like 600 A.D. and they could change depending on the time. You know the French had a go at reinventing them. And this is a really useful device to talk about because people get that static idea of what national identity is, and that’s not true. All countries change. They move around and the idea of any golden past just isn’t true. -- Kieron Gillen

A while back DC had an event in 2001 called "This issue: Batman dies" across the Bat-titles which basically amounted to villains fantasizing about killing the Dark Knight. The issue of Gotham Knights was told from the perspective of Victor Zsasz but the issue was pulled at the last minute because it was too gory. The artist posted some of the pages on his Facebook here which I am sharing below but the whole issue was never released... until now.

The DC solicitations for December 2019 show that the 'Arkham: Victor Zsasz' trade will be presenting the complete planned story that DC didn't want you to see. Looking back on it the controversy is kind of funny because I can think of a few moments from the big two that are more graphic than anything we see here. Heck even 'Carnage: Mind Bomb' came out in 1996 and that was considerably more horrific than this.
