10 Hilarious Comic Mistakes You Won't Believe Were Published

5. Batman Loses His Shirt - Suicide Squad #13

Batman Skin
DC Comics

A humble and entirely easy-to-make colouring error, Suicide Squad #13 saw Batman seemingly lose his shirt for one panel, with his torso being coloured the same as the skin tone of his legs.

While this is a simple mistake, it's also an undeniably hilarious one, as it makes it appear as though the Dark Knight decided to just stick the Bat logo on his bare chest as his costume instead, making his outfit a pair of speedos, a cape and cowl. Although this would maybe pass as the beach edition of his uniform, this scene takes place in a prison, meaning that Wayne's decision to strip off a layer seems somewhat less appropriate.

This panel is also a solid reminder that errors involving anything skin toned are often the most unfortunate, as unlike other colouring mishaps they're impossible not to notice - and then impossible to unsee.
