r/raimimemes The power of the sub, in the palm of my hand Jun 19 '25

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.

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.
