DC Comics to recall, reprint Batman: Bruce Wayne: Murderer new edition printing

Last week Collected Editions reader Kirk Kiefer (Tumblr) posted online that the new edition of the Batman: Bruce Wayne: Murderer trade lacked issues and had other misprints. In an email exchange, Dan DiDio replied to Kirk that DC would be"taking steps to recall and correct the Batman: Bruce Wayne: Murderer collection." Today this message went out to comics shops:

Retailers, DC Entertainment has learned that the BATMAN: BRUCE WAYNE: MURDERER? TP NEW EDITION was printed with errors. DC is currently prepping new, corrected copies of this title that will include DETECTIVE COMICS #768 and BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHTS #29. In addition, the running order of the contents will be corrected and the table of contents will be updated. DC asks that you destroy all copies of this title currently in stock, and that you accept returned copies from your customers.

Excellent, excellent news. I think we all owe Kirk a round of applause for bringing this to light in the first place, and also we have to acknowledge that it's exceptionally classy for DC to so quickly appreciate the problem and get it corrected. Corrected version is currently scheduled to be in stores May 14. Batman: Murderer/Fugitive is a good Bat-verse collection, and I'm pleased there will indeed be definitive versions of the trades.
