I remember reading an interview with Grant Morrison where he says that one of the fundamental aspects of batman was that he was by nature really gay. And, as a person who read comic book history, he has the support of a lot of early batman writers.

My question is: out of all the characters in Pre 52 and new 52 Batman universe, which seem to be written as implicitly gay, lesbian, or bisexual/

personal guesses are Bruce Wayne, Raas al Ghul, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Barbara Gordon(New 52), Dick Grayson, and Tim Drake

@senglord: Renee Montoya and Batwoman are the only two lesbain characters. There are no gay characters (male) yet from what I read so far.

@lxlgiftedlxl: I do not mean explicitly gay. I mean implicitly gay.

If a lot of the things seem a little gay on the surface. This is DC.

@senglord: :

I see what you mean now.

That would depend on your view point of the characters.

So am I the only one who is always offended that Batman is accused of being gay? First of all taking Robin as an apprentice, someone who is around twelve years old and traumatized by the deaths of his family, and implying a sexual relationship is not gay, it's rape. Batman is not a child rapist. I can't believe all these jokes have lasted much less no one else finds it disrespectful and tasteless.

Some times i think Grant Morrison, Frank Miller, Alan Moore and the rest do more harm that good by saying the first crazy thing it gets into their minds.

And by some times i mean every time they do this.

@kiba: He was not described as being a pedophile by Morrison. He was described as being gay.

Look at the opponents that he fights. Look at how he fights them.

Morrison was only pointing out that violence and sex are closely related.

Even Homophobic FRANK MILLER emphasised the homoerotic subtext in his fight with Two Face.

That was the purpose of the thread, to see if other people felt that there was a sexual context to other Bat themed characters.

No the gay accusations come from his relationships with Robin, a minor, and Alfred, who's a father figure. So either a pedophile or incestuous or both. No matter what it's insulting to the characters, the creators the fan and actual gay people. When was the last time someone dressed up in a costume and fought the most psychotic criminals in the world rather than admit their sexual preferences? I can not believe anyone is defending these remarks. Absolutely disgusting.
