How DARE you?!

Now, say ten Our Franks, and five Hail Stan Lees as penance, and never utter such sacriledge again.

Nothing against him just on a lot of comic boards I go on he has that name due to his foul mouth in these comics, it's not a bad word against him

Just an ironic comedy name based on his potty mouth

NewMan

Hmmmm..... Ok, I'll let you off this once, but I'm going to be keeping an eye on you from now on..... One more step out of line, and there'll be trouble...

Garth Ennis is far worse than Miller. Have you seen Crossed?

NewMan

I've seen that before, and have considered buying it... Not got round to it though, since the Siege Premiere HCs are coming out at the moment (in dribs and drabs).

My brother reads The Boys though, which is Garth Ennis too, I believe, and yes, shocking... Certainly not following the Comics Code...

I think it's because Batman, for years, had always been quite clean in terms of what is printed, especially as it was for so long subject to scrutiny by the CCA. It was mostly a shock to people and with shock generally comes outrage, either way the censoring is the worst attempt I've seen as the words are still clear through the block, seems pointless...

Crossed is brilliant, but as above there's no expectations or history to go on with it, so if you start something out with language then you expect it. Though the dropping of multiple F-Bombs and excessive use of the C word by Miller was pretty unnecessary.

Because it means nothing these days... it used to back in the silver age when parents would go crazy at any kind of horror or such, but now nobody really cares, the CCA logo eventually got smaller and smaller and now isn't really seen or known about.

NewMan

The CCA is crazy, some of their rules were just ludicrous...

...and my personal favourite...

Thanks to Lolo Ferrari (et al) cartoonists will never have any problems with exaggeration of physical qualities any more

The CCA have not seen Jim Lee at work then:

And to bring things back to Batman, heres the best Catwoman, Julie Newmar who did strange things to my lower regions when I was a kid watching batman.
