You know there are certain outlets that are going to run that angle like crazy, possibly even major mainstream media ones. So they want to prepare retailers to stock for that potential. Retailers hate when books get hot like that but they can't sell them. Similarly, they likely wouldn't order a spin off book with a non-cape character heavily, this allows them to do so and do it risk free.
