Retailer Will No Longer Sell ‘Batty Boy’ Superhero Card

Clinton Cards, the British retailer, is pulling the “Batman wasn’t happy with his new sidekick” card from its stores after everyone went on the twitters and starting the bitchings. Something about the man in red being labeled “batty boy,” I’m guessing. Says a rep for the company: “We are aware of the card in question and are withdrawing it from our stores. The stocking of this card was a result of a flaw in our procurement process. The content is clearly not appropriate for our customers and we apologise for any offence caused.” Now can somebody tell me what occasion somebody was supposed to even buy this card for? Or how the card even made it through the legal department without proper licensing from DC Comics?
