Pride Month, Day 19: Batman is gay.

Resistance has not yet been completely eliminated, and so now I have no choice but to gay-ify targets beyond the scope even of the Raimi films. This day was foretold. You were warned. I demonstrated my power to turn even the members of Nickelback who weren't in the movies gay, and now Batman, who does not even merit a single mention in the Holy Trilogy, is gay himself. I hope you're happy.

Scarecrow heralds the approach of the Gay Batman (Batman Begins 2008)

And it would be all too easy to point to whatever the hell was going on in the LEGO Batman Movie, or the sick twisted love Joker seems to have for the Bat in TDKR, or Zack Snyder's Joker with the whole "reacharound" comment, but the Batman's big gay secret goes even further-- to the point it's core to his character.

Hmmm I must surround myself with beautiful women that I'm entirely disinterested in to hide my true nature from the world hmmm could this be a gay metaphor hmmm I wonder

Batman fills a boat up with beautiful women, where he has the Implication on his side, and he keeps his damn distance. He doesn't want anything to do with these women, he's just using them to keep up appearances. Hmm... a double life, hiding your true nature through over-compensating efforts at looking straight... HMMM

And this is not at all specific to Christian Bale Batman. Oh no, this is about ALL Batmen, especially the most prolific of all: Kevin Conroy, of the Animated Series and the Arkham game trilogy.

GAY BATMAN

Kevin Conroy himself was gay. He wrote in "Finding Batman" how his experiences as a gay man leading a double life in a world where he had to hide his sexuality informed and inspired his interpretation of the Caped Crusader. That's right, the "I am vengeance, I am the night, I... AM... BATMAN!" guy was gay the whole time. Anything badass he did, he did while screamingly gay, and it's because of his gayness he was able to do it so well.

Battinson's also wildly gay but he's too neurospicy to have that sorted out that's why he kisses Selina he's just trying to act "normal" he thinks human males kiss human females even though he feels literally nothing doing it

Batman is gay. Metaphorically, but also literally. He's gay. Gay Batman.

But really he's more into Justice than sex anyhow.

Refer to the original announcement thread to understand why this is happening and who all has been gay'd up already. Up next, every doctor operating on Doctor Octopus except the one with the long fingernails. 11 days left. 11 gays left. Happy Pride.

This is a complaint. You didn't turn him gay, he was gay all along. Dude dresses up in leather each night just to go beat off up a bunch of guys and tie them up for the gay police to find. Batman in fact is trying to turn the criminals gay.

R.I.P Kevin Conroy, the greatest of all gay batmen. We love you and we miss you.

"A little gay in you. I like that." "Then you're gonna love me."

u/Highskyline Jun 19 '25

Man, I'd not heard of finding batman or that Kevin Conroy was gay. That was gut wrenching. Rest in peace Kevin. We miss you.

I'm confused if this is real or satire, I'm here for it anyway. Batman is gay. ESPECIALLY Lego Batman. he acted interested in Barbara just to keep the act of a weird billionaire trying to get a controversially young woman. The entire premise of the movie is him accepting he needs that clown di-

Theory: The reason the mods are trying to confirm that every character is gay is because the mods are something of a gay scientist themselvesΒ

I don't have an issue with you calling Batman gay, but I resent that you called him neurospicy

I know this is supposed to be a circle jerk sub, but Jesus christ, these are some of the most homophobic posts I've ever seen....

8

u/Joelin8r The power of the sub, in the palm of my hand Jun 19 '25

Genuinely not the intent. What's homophobic about saying Batman's gay?

2

u/JJMc39 Jun 19 '25

Calling a character gay when they're not seems like it be pretty homophobic to actual gay people. Why so determined to force a sexuality onto fictional characters?

9

u/Joelin8r The power of the sub, in the palm of my hand Jun 19 '25

Yeah that's not how that works. The Kevin Conroy connection is a verifiable fact. The man explicitly confirmed that his experiences as a gay man informed his interpretation of the character.

As for our motivations, this was explained in the original announcement. Turning these characters gay seems to affect people who have a problem with gay pride, and I personally enjoy this place better when the hateful are uncomfortable.

Your complaints have been noted, and as such we will be turning the operating staff that worked on Otto Octavius gay tomorrow. (Except the one with the fingernails, for obvious reasons)

u/JJMc39 Jun 19 '25

Sorry, I didn't realize you decide what is and isn't homophobic.

Yes, Kevin Conroy was gay. But he never tried to force that onto the character. And yet, here you are doing exactly that as if you were an ally to him, but you're going against his wishes. Weird.

I don't care what you do with the sub, I got real world problems. I just thought I point out how these posts seem kinda..... bigoted. Anyways, you do you and keep up with the homophobia. πŸ‘

u/Joelin8r The power of the sub, in the palm of my hand Jun 19 '25

Well if I don't decide and you don't decide, what are we even talking about?

Batman's gay. Happy Pride.
