Thirty-five titles were delayed, with DC warning of "further shifts in the future." As ICv2 has previously reported (see "International Shipping Delays Expected to Last into 2022"), the underlying causes of delays are unlikely to be eliminated this year. DC said it expected the situation to persist for "several more months."
DC will also allocate all Batman Day titles except for incentive covers, the company told retailers, again citing supply chain issues. Batman Day is September 18.
