Holy ****, Batman!

And the grimification of comic books continues. The word "grimifaction" can mean both "to make grimmer" and "to make grimier," both of which apply in this case.

I ask you: where will it all end? Sure, now they're just pushing the envelope when it comes to language. But what about when the violence starts becoming violent-er and violent-er? It's only a matter of time before they release an issue where Batman graphically eviscerates the Joker, pulls out his viscera, and glowers at the reader. FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?
