🐱 We're Here for Bisexual Batman!

https://www.themarysue.com/were-here-for-bisexual-batman/

Is Batman bisexual? It’s a question that comics fans have long pondered, given the innuendo and subtext embedded within the iconic comic book character. And that subtext nearly becomes text in DC Comics’ Batman: The Knight #5 by Chip Zdarsky and Carmine Di Giandomenico. The ten-issue series follows a young Bruce Wayne during his world travels in the formative years before he dons the cowl. The previous issue saw Bruce Wayne training in North Korea under Master Kirigi for a year, where he formed a close friendship with Anton, another trainee. Issue #5 sees the duo sharing a close moment which seems to be leading to kiss before they’re interrupted.


The next page sees Bruce absconding with a book taken from Anton. So was Bruce just playing at his attraction, or was he genuinely interested in Anton? Fans were quickly buzzing with excitement over the possibility of a bi Batman and his chemistry with Anton. And fans haven’t been this horny since Batman’s infamous full frontal scenein Batman: Damned by Brian Azzarello (Wonder Woman) and Lee Bermejo (Joker). Hey, give the people what they want!

As someone who adores a ’60s campy Batman, I am fully on board with Bruce Wayne exploring his bisexuality. I know fans love the Dark Knight to be, well, dark, but I’m exhausted by the gritty, depressing, dour Batman. Give the poor man some jokes already! Throw a nipple on a batsuit! Let him drive around in a penis-shaped batmobile! I mean, let’s mix it up and have some fun. I don’t know readers, the world is oppressively dark and everything sucks right now. Bring back the Batusi and the shark repellent.


While neither DC Comics nor the issue’s authors have made any statement regarding Batman’s bisexuality, the fandom is already all over it. After all, there is nothing more queer than dissecting and pining over subtext in mainstream pop culture. Websites have been built on that very premise alone. For many of us, subtext and reading between the lines was a gateway to forming our very own queer selves. No doubt there will be legions of angry straight men furious at the thought of a bisexual Batman. To them I say, “Stay mad about it.” It’s almost Pride Month, baby!

Gay Batman having multiple boys during their teenage years as his "wards" would not be uncomfortable at all.

"We have to do something about this fictional masculine icon. Quick, shove a dick in his mouth!"

I am so sick of the term “we’re here for it”. The only thing you should be here for is kicking ass and chewing bubblegum.

Is Batman bisexual? It’s a question that comics fans have long pondered

No, the question fans have long pondered is whether Batman could beat Superman, or Wolverine, or Spiderman. We‘ve pondered which of his gadgets is cooler. We’ve pondered how he fits everything on his utility belt. And we’ve pondered whether Catwoman, Poison Ivy or Vicki Vale are hotter. Not once in my life have I ever met someone who was like “I wonder whether Batman takes cock sometimes.”

So Wayne wasn't thirsting for cock, he was honeypotting the fag to get a book. And the author is whining because they got denied more DC wank material.

Ah, it's another "will into existence through the power of faggotry fandom and harrassment on twatter" article is it? Boring.

 

[I'm Retarded?]

I love these articles written about some shit only relevant to a handful of coomers on social media as if the whole international, multi-generational fandom is trembling with autistic fervor over it

No doubt there will be legions of angry straight men furious at the thought of a bisexual Batman. To them I say, “Stay mad about it.”

ah, the real purpose of this wet fart of an article is revealed - owning the imaginary haters

You can’t be wearing that much spandex and not be a little fruity.

Sorry to bring back this thread from the dead but someone posted this comment on this Youtube clip who might be worth to share.

As someone who IS gay, I just wanna say I don't need Batman, Superman, Wolverine, Spider-Man, etc to be gay to be "seen". I want good stories about the human condition, drama, action, the never-ending battle of good vs evil and the blurred lines therein. I want a well-rounded character who struggles, earns their victory, becomes a better person and just HAPPENS to be gay. THAT'S representation done right, not the fact they're gay being the start and end of their personality. As any actual gay person would tell you, being gay is only a small facet of who they are as a person. It is not the beginning and end of who they are. It is part of them but it does not DEFINE them. The story of Luke Skywalker will ALWAYS resonate no matter who you are because it's a story about a hero answering the call to adventure. I am sorry all this gay stuff being shoved down everyone's throats and it's not right. Those who were oppressed have now become the oppressor or to quote Harvey Dent: "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

Riddle me this, Batman! What disease does a historically reviled rodent carry? "Plague rats?" Not quite. The real answer is a Bat...with monkeypox!
