I wish 'geniuses' could write stories with existing characters without bringing sex into it.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

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.

Discuss.

I think Batman is only as gay as the people who write him. Morrison is a confirmed bachelor who likes to style his head to resemble a giant penis.


Hmmmm?

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.

Yes, It zounds like ze patient zecretly resents his mother, und ve all know vhat unbridled misogyny can lead to.

Seriously though, his reasoning is profoundly baseless. I don't understand how he views mainstream comic book properties. X-Men, Superman, Batman have all been WTF? I hope he doesn't get his hands on Wonder Woman.

If he does, he's crossed the metaphysical line... again... poor Animal Man...

Uh, I specifically mentioned the Batman of Many Nations story, which DC did advertise as a throwback to the Silver Age story. You specifically avoided the fact that I mentioned that in your reply full of nested quotes and unearned smugness. So, why are you doing the thing you're accusing me of?

Uh, the conversation between me and Punchy was about Morrison possibly making Batman gay. THAT was my overall point.

You just decided to latch onto an aside I made. THAT was your aversion.

I'm not "doing the thing I'm accusing you of".
I'm trying to get you back on topic, which -- for those of us who came in late -- is, and I quote AGAIN: "'Batman is Very, Very Gay' - Grant Morrison".

The "smugness" is not "unearned" if I'm the one who's right.

[Herald]

PLEASE. He's not even wearing the Bat-cowl. You're not truly Batman unless you're donning the ears.

Remember: That big Bat-storyline following Morrison supposedly killing Batman wasn't called "Battle for the Costume Resembling Batman's, But Still Retaining the Robin Symbol on It, Thus Demonstrating That You're REALLY Acknowledging YOU'RE STILL ROBIN, Not Batman at All". Somehow, Battling for the COWL seems a little more catchy. It's also a more meaningful a way to show you're FULLY committed to taking over the role of Batman.

That's right.

Morrison and co. IMPROVED on a Silver Age idea.

Now, if we're done with ill-conceived tangents, perhaps we could get back on topic, hmmm??

Reading is Fundamental!

He's not saying that the character is gay, he's saying that the idea of Batman (and by extension, the whole man/boy sidekick love thing) is gay.

Oh, and that we're all gay because we like to read about guys in tights who put young boys in tights and have exciting adventures with them.

And thus, Morrison himself is gay, because he insists on writing about this character and his overly-male entourage every month. Good to hear about your tacit self-outing, Grant.

[Herald]

That's right.

That's wrong.

Morrison and co. ripped off the FIRST improvement on that Silver Age idea, which was when Dick took over for Bruce in the post-Knightfall story "Prodigal".





Grant loses AGAIN.
