The issue of Batman DC didn't want you to see

[cyberghostface]

A little trivia bit: a while back DC had an event 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. Recently the artist posted some of the pages on his Facebook here.

Pretty much yeah.

Its basically like DC said "Hey, you know what no one has done before? A post apocalyptic story with killer robots. And lets make all the DC heroes horrible murder cyborgs. Except for Black Canary, we're gonna chop her head off and graft her head to Frankenstein's chest so he can use her sonic scream as a weapon. I mean that's being respectful to women right?"

I dunno who it's respectful to, but I'm pretty sure no one has done implanted-Black-Canary-chest-death-face before. So...kudos! Originality!

Painfully stupid originality, because if you want to weaponize Canary's scream, you just have to remove her vocal cords and put them in your own throat, like one villain did back in JLA: Year One. Cutting her head off and sticking it on your chest doesn't really get you anywhere. I mean, this is like cargo cult surgery.

But...originality!
