FROM WIKIPEDIA:
A solicited cover by Mike Allred for issue #7 of Solo—a 2005 DC Comics series—featured Batman doing the Batusi. The cover, based on Adam West and a memorably campy episode of the TV series, was replaced by the time of Solo #7's release. Allred explains that the cover was pulled by "higher ups" for reasons largely unknown.[10] Speculation over the reasons first intimated that potential infringement of rights were the issue, but this was soon replaced with suggestions that its "campy" nature was the real factor in its removal. At the time of the issue's release, DVDs of Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, and Batman Begins were also being promoted, and DC's chief editor Dan Didio reportedly does not like camp.

No. It was supposed to be, it was originally promoted as the cover, but DC put the kibosh on it.



no, they didn't. it was for sale as one of the covers. I've seen it on several occasions.


For some reason Allred did another cover with Wonder Girl doing the Batusi. I thought it was because the The Bat-Man cover was recalled, but it must be something else because G-man is always wrong because he is an arse rapist.



he did do a Wonder Girl cover. both were released, despite Wikipedia and G-Man.
