Gayness is built into Batman. I’m not using gay in the pejorative sense, but Batman is very, very gay. There’s just no denying it. Obviously as a fictional character he’s intended to be heterosexual, but the basis of the whole concept is utterly gay. I think that’s why people like it. All these women fancy him and they all wear fetish clothes and jump around rooftops to get to him. He doesn’t care—he’s more interested in hanging out with the old guy and the kid.

He hangs out with a boy and an old British man. It's a multi generational gay family.

He's more interested in hanging out with himself, if anything.

[nietoperz]

He's right, as usual.

[Dragavon]

Definitely the Adam West version.

this is the same guy who described the FF as being based on the following core:

"The series has always had these underlying stresses - Stan and Jack created the dynamic like this: Reed and Sue are Mom and Dad right? Johnny's the older son and Ben's the big baby. However... Sue is Johnny's sister and mother in this scheme. Sue wants to fuck Johnny and can't, so what does she do? She fucks Johnny's dark side, his perennial opposite in the Fire and Water complex-- Prince Namor-- the dark, sexy, murky counterpart to Johnny's clean and shining sky faring fire spirit."


GFY, Morrison. you and all your peyote-inspired overanalytical Freudian bullshit.

I think Batman has undergone self-castration, so that no one can immobilize him by kicking him in the sack. Batman, after all, is prepared for every contingency.

Yeah Morrison is just awful.

[Juan Cena]

I think Morrison's allowed himself to be taken over by Dr. Wertham's spirit during one of his occult practices one too many times.

If Judd Winnick said the exact same thing, with the exact same word choices, people would be calling him a moron with an agenda.

The better question is, what do people get out of assigning various levels of "gayness" to something?

[AaronW]

Hasn't Bats been banging Catwoman off and on for years? And before lesser writers ran wild with the psycho batman take didn't he have a social life with women as Bruce Wayne? Silver St. Cloud, Vicky Vale, etc?

this. a million times.

[Benderbrau]

So I'm supposed to believe that a man who's stories no one can understand somehow understands the character best? I don't think so.

Talia, Sasha Bordeaux, and a ton of others as well. I mean, he has a kid with Talia, and the story where they hooked up is one of the most famous Batman stories of all time..
