Proving that basement-dwelling comic book dorks still can’t handle their latent homosexuality, DC Comics has threatened legal action against Manhattan’s Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts Gallery for exhibiting paintings of S&M crimefighters Batman and Robin in homoerotic situations. The comic book giant, which has provided illustrations of leather-clad whacking material to generations of pimply virgins, is keeping mum on exactly why it wants to suppress artist Mark Chamberlain’s depiction of what we’ve all known for years.
In fact, not only has it always been clear that Batman and Robin rode more than just the Batmobile together, it’s the kind of pathetically obvious pop culture cliche that gets used as a joke on Will & Grace. If anything, Chamberlain’s work should be nixed for its lack of creativity.
Oh fuck, I spoke too soon. (Not safe for work. Especially for you, Anderson Cooper.)
The rest of Chamberlain’s sexy slides are here.
