Batman and Robin
DC Comics has removed a satanic image from a cover design for Batman And Robin #15.

Drawn by Frank Quitely, the original cover illustration for the book depicted Robin and Dr Hurt in front of an upside-down crucifix.

However, the publisher has removed the background image for the retail version of the comic, which arrived in stores this week. It also shipped with a variant design from interior artist Frazer Irving.

Written by Grant Morrison, the issue serves as the final chapter in the 'Batman Must Die' plotline. The story sees Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne confront Dr Hurt for a final showdown.
