London, Nov 4 : UK’s largest entertainment specialist, HMV, was accused of trying to glorify knife crime on November 3, when the Batman badges they were selling were found to feature the deadly weapon.

The badges, which were being sold for 2.99 pounds per pack, had emblems showing The Joker framed by a circle of 12 blades, while another quoted the movie villain’s chilling line about cutting victims: “Let’s put a smile on that face.”

The badges, which came with only a warning that the pin on the back could hurt babies, started a row when shopper Nadia Cooke saw them as she was browsing in a branch of HMV with her 11-year-old sister and 15-year-old brother.
