Ever since the day of Fredric Wertham , people have been channelise out the homoerotic elements in Batman . There are hundreds of GIFs of Batman in his pinkish costume , orthat famous scenewhere all the other DC heroes occupy about their girlfriends , and Batman worries about Robin . There ’s evena Wikipedia incoming on “ Homosexuality in the Batman Franchise,”complete with an trope from a 1954 comic show Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson apparently sleeping in the same layer .

So when Batman , Inc. writer Grant Morrisonsaid in a Playboy Magazine interviewthat he thought the construct of Batman ( not Batman himself ) was homophile , the fan reaction was muted . Here ’s what Morrison say :
He ’s very plutonian in the sense that he ’s wealthy and also in the sense that he ’s sexually deviant . Gayness is build into Batman . I ’m not using gay in the pejorative sense , but Batman is very , very brave . There ’s just no deny it . apparently as a fictional character he ’s intend to be heterosexual , but the basis of the whole concept is utterly gay . I think that ’s why people like it . All these adult female go for him and they all wear fetish apparel and jump around rooftop to get to him . He does n’t like - he ’s more concerned in hang out with the old guy and the kidskin .
He also manoeuvre out that Wonder Woman was only really pop when she was have lots of bondage and foreign lesbian hart - hunts .
