Unholy language, Batman!

DC Comics is trying to pull back or destroy tens of thousands of copies of a new Batman comic book after a printing error put a barrage of especially obscene words on the pages.

The issue, "All-Star Batman & Robin" No. 10, was drawn by fan-favorite Jim Lee and written by none other than Frank Miller, the creator of "300" and "Sin City" who will be making his solo Hollywood directorial debut with a masked-man movie called "The Spirit" that opens on Christmas Day. Hero Complex reached Miller by phone as he was getting ready for a trip to Germany to promote the film, and he was shocked to hear about the four-letter crisis. "This is the first I've heard of it," Miller said. "I have no idea how this awful thing happened. It's just one of those terrible and glorious things that happen time to time in publishing."
