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 scribe 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 receive 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 journalist to make Batman gay, even in an Elseworlds or alternate-universe story. As Morrison himself says, Batman is intended to be he
Batman: Robin coming out as bisexual person was 'missing piece' of story15456
1. Read what you love. If you don't prefer it, don't interpret it. Great thing about this planet -- especially in the world of comics, tv, movies, books, etc., there's so much damn content available 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 get the Black Label some press.
3. Totally agree that modern characters can be a focus for diversity. We've seen that with probably the best 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 point. So, if DC created a new bisexual ethics and said, "Here's our new Robin," I think a lot of folks would come out and say that's it lazy writing and just done solely to produce a bisexual Robin for the sake of diversity and that this Robin is not a real "R
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 girl he desires the most organism Zatanna
Pre New 52 that one above but still valid.
Oh undertake I even need to bring up 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 dominion situations, daydreams, movies, comic guide 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

Inside the Batcave: Intellectual Genealogy of A Rumour
by Jeet Heer
When Batman returns to the big screen later this summer in The Dark Knight he’ll be joined by his familiar cast of secondary characters: Alfred the Butler, the decent cop James Gordon (soon to be a commissioner), the evil Joker. One character, however, will be missing: Batman’s familiar sidekick Robin, the Male child Wonder. In part this is due to the fact that the feature focuses on the prior years of the Caped Crusader. But it’s also the case that feature makers in general acquire been reluctant to deliver in Robin lest they revive longstanding rumours that Batman is gay.
