Flash gay porn cartoon series#ġ960s TV series īurt Ward, who portrayed Robin in the 1960s TV series and film, wrote in his autobiography Boy Wonder: My Life in Tights that Batman and Robin could be interpreted as lovers. The 1995 feature film Batman Forever, and especially its 1997 sequel Batman & Robin, both helmed by the openly gay director Joel Schumacher, have been interpreted as having homoerotic overtones. Slate noted that Robin wore a codpiece and 'Bat-nipples' and said that what 'Schumacher produced wasn’t gay subtext it was gay domtext.' Slate magazine called Schumacher's Batman films 'defiantly queer', with a ' sugar daddy' Batman and ' rough-trade' Robin. Schumacher stated, 'I had no idea that putting nipples on the Batsuit and Robin suit were going to spark international headlines. The bodies of the suits come from ancient Greek statues, which display perfect bodies. They are anatomically correct.' Ĭhris O'Donnell, who portrayed Robin, felt 'it wasn't so much the nipples that bothered me.
The press obviously played it up and made it a big deal, especially with Joel directing.
