Out of all the criticism this book has taken, I can say this, along with the cursing is the at the bottom of the list.

I find the imperitus on this sort of editorial decision odd.

They should just let the comic go as the writer and artist want, unless totally out of control. This is not such a time, imo.

[…] But shame on Miller, too. As a professional he should knownthat this could of happened. When asked about the oversight not even he could drum up a worthy excuse, “This is the first I’ve heard of it. 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.” But that’s not all. Now comes word that the art on a page of the book has been edited, too. Originally in one large panel Batgirl is shown apprehending two criminals by the family jewels. It now it looks like she is punching them in the stomach. […]

The fact that a woman is doing it must be the driving force behind the change, because as noted above this is now almost standard fare for family entertainment.

I gotta say, I think the after versions imply more injury to the nads. The before ones look like she’s just groping them. Maybe if her hands had been shaped more like fists it would’ve implied more injury.

Injury to the nads is now a universal element in movies, even those made for the kiddies. Witness the slo-mo shot-and-reaction in Kung Fu Panda. Also in Speed Racer and multiple times in Indy IV.

(Note that Indy IV is an apt numeration, as IVs had to be given to Harrison Ford after nearly every action sequence. Not that he nor the franchise have gotten old.)

It probably wasn’t the “Injury to the ‘nads” in and of itself. After all, where would America’s Funniest Home Videos be with out *those* clips? I think it was the visible grope-y aspects of how the nads were injured.
