I think that the writer was trying to say the Batman is gay. The Batman Forever supposedly shows signs to the writer that Batman had to be gay. Things like how Robin was at Batman’s bedside when Batman was hurt, and when Bruce, Batman, comes out of the shower in only a towel. That is kind of wired to me too but I don’t think his gay at all. When I was a kid growing up and watching all the new installments of this series, I never thought it was gay or noticed anything gay. She also said how the Riddler, Jim Carey’s character always said, “Spank me!” and wore tight green spandex. She also noted that there wasn’t really any guys and girls action, getting really intimate; they, Bruce and Chase, just kiss with their clothes on. But, when its time for the guys to change into Batman and Robin, the directors show them changing. Although, she only talked about how Batman was gay, there have been talks about how all comic book superheroes are gay. I personally never noticed this and would have never noticed it, if I didn’t read the article. How the superhero has a secret identity, and never really has a girlfriend. She also talked about camp characters. How this character, like Jim Carey’s Riddler was the camp in the movie. I think that if I never had read this article, I would have never noticed this, and I would just watch the movie as is and would think nothing of it.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!
You must not have been paying any attention at all in class. I very clearly repeated over and over that the article did not accuse anyone of being gay, but pointed out that homoerotic images exist in the film, and brought them prominently to the forefront. You were probably too busy whispering with Mark to pay attention to what you were supposed to be learning.
