This is a LOT to take in...

Are you ever just going about your day and then The World Wide Web hits you with a surprise which makes you rethink your entire existence? This week alone we've been hit with the wildest news stories. First things first, Stormy Daniels compared Donald Trump's penis to Toad from the Super Mario universe, then people were debating if Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street are gay and now Batman's penis is everywhere.

Say what? Historically DC Comics have never featured Batman's member in their beloved publications but that all changed over the past few days. DC released Batman: Damned No. 1 on Wednesday as the first comic on their new imprint created specifically for mature readers (DC Black Label). So far so normal, but the issue immediately became a huge online talking point thanks to the fact that it shows Batman's penis.

No. We are not joking. After years of keeping Batman's private parts private, DC have now shown Batman in the nude in full for the first time. The penis appears in shadows but it's very evident that it's there. According to Comic Book Resources, DC have now decided to censor the penis in the digital version because it's not “additive to the story”. Also “future printings of the issue will use the altered panels.”

In other words, Batman's penis is available for a limited time only. However, fans have already been sharing it all over social media so we've gone to great lengths to source it for you.

Check out the penis in all of its glory here.

Unsurprisingly, the internet is shook. Here are just a few of the hilarious reactions.
