Gay batman comics
A Brief History of Dick
Freely adapted from The Caped Crusade: Batman and the Rise of Nerd Culture by Glen Weldon, out now from Simon and Schuster.
Let’s get one thing absolutely clear: Robin isn’t gay.
Don’t let the emerald Speedo and the pixie boots steer you wrong; Dick Grayson is as straight as uncooked spaghetti. In evidence, there have been several Robins over the years, and not one of them has exhibited any trace of same-sex attraction or evinced anything resembling a queer self-identity.
Neither, it feels essential to note here at the originate , has Batman.
Don’t grab my word for it. Ask anyone who’s written a Batman and Robin comic. Or, you know what, you don’t have to: Dollars to donuts they’ve already been asked that doubt, and have gone on record asserting the Dynamic Duo’s he-man, red-blooded, heterosexual bona fides. Batman’s co-creators, Bill Finger and Bob Kane, both firmly swatted the question down. So have writers like Frank Miller, Denny O’Neil, Alan Grant, and Devin Grayson—though Grayson admitted that she could “understand the lgbtq+ readings.”
So there you have it. After all, if a character isn’t written as gay, then that character can’t possibly be g
Would Batman Be Better if He Were Gay?
Considering the fact that Bruce had 2 girlfriends (implying sex with them) since the start of the New 52 you should reconsider your position.
The 2 girlfriends being :
Charlotte Rivers introduced in Detective Comics #2
Natalya Trusevich introduced in Batman The Dark Knight #10
And the gal he desires the most entity Zatanna
Pre New 52 that one above but still valid.
Oh act I even need to state Talia and Catwoman his other sexual patners as well ? At that point, I ponder not.
And you will never find a picture of Batman kissing a guy in canon, alternate reality stories, mind governance situations, daydreams, movies, comic novel adaptations of movies, cartoons. Not a single one. But I have seen pictures of Batman kissing guys in gay fan fictions. Ouch for you ! It seems clear to me that Batman 100% heterosexual and that main DCU Batman gets more action in bed with women than you think.Click to expand...
He also dated Jaina in Finch's title.
But... I've seen fat Alfred, I've seen skinny Alfred. I've seen Batman with blond hair. I've seen Dick Grayson adopted at eight years old, I've see
Batman: Robin coming out as bisexual was 'missing piece' of story15456
1. Read what you love. If you don't like it, don't read it. Great thing about this world -- especially in the society of comics, tv, movies, books, etc., there's so much damn content free now.
2. Personally, I don't equate this move the same as the Bat Dong. That was clearly for headlines and had absolutely nothing to do with the story. It was just a way to obtain the Black Label some press.
3. Totally concur that new characters can be a focus for diversity. We've seen that with probably the finest example in the past 20 years -- Miles Morales, which someone referenced earlier. However, at the same time, there's a lot of joking about the million Robins that have been around, which is very fair. 50% of Gotham has been Robin at this indicate. So, if DC created a new bisexual personality and said, "Here's our new Robin," I reflect a lot of folks would come out and say that's it slow writing and just done solely to create a bisexual Robin for the sake of diversity and that this Robin is not a real "R
The Gayness of Batman: A Brief History
"Gayness is built into Batman. ... 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."
As we reported last week, this was the claim made by Batman, Incorporated penner Grant Morrison in an interview with Playboy where he offers his insights into the psychology of superheroes. In Morrison's view, Batman's attachment to Alfred and Robin and his alleged detachment from the women in "fetish clothes" who "jump around rooftops to obtain to him" is symptomatic of his conceptual gayness. That's a very selective framing, but as Morrison told the LA Times in 2010, "Batman can take anything. You can do comedy Batman, you can do gay Batman."
That's not true, of course. You can do comedy Batman, and you can do The Midnighter (Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch's openly gay Batman analogue), but DC Comics is unlikely to allow any penner to make Batman gay, even in an Elseworlds or alternate-universe story. As Morrison himself says, Batman is intended to be he
