Holy homoerotica, Batman!
Handsome, dazed, and to die for
When I was a young lad, my pulse quickened every time I came across a naked male torso in a magazine, on greeting cards in the mall gift shop, or on TV. Initially I couldn’t understand why such images held my attention. Later, I’d worry that someone would notice me lingering over these hunky men for much longer than a young male child should.
Sometimes, it felt trustworthy to marvel at these displays of the male physique because it was a sports game or a TV show I was watching with my family or friends. As a kid, my younger brother was a huge wrestling fan. I’m guessing he followed them for the storylines (?), whereas I stuck around to watch hulking men touching each other in their ridiculously skimpy costumes. And then there was that one ACC Thinksafe TV ad featuring a buff guy enjoying a steamy shower before stepping out and slipping on the wet floor. That ad sent my confused tiny brain into overdrive, to the point where I still couldn’t help but notice how hot he was while lying there with a suspected broken neck.
But my ultimate root of fit men in various states of undress (other than Farmers catalogues) were comic books.
The podcast that I co-host, The 250, will be looking at Batman and Robin this weekend. It is a fun discussion, good worth a listen, and I hope you love. However, I had some thoughts that I wanted to get down before specifically about the film.
Batman and Robin is not a good movie, by any stretch of the imagination.
However, it is somewhat unfairly vilified. This is particularly true in comparison to its direct predecessor, Batman Forever. Very scant people would attempt to argue that either Batman Forever or Batman and Robin were good films on their own terms, but the consensus seems to have formed around the idea that – to paraphrase Edward Nygma – Batman Forever was bad, Batman and Robin was worse. This calcified into the idea that Batman and Robin is among the very worst comic book movies ever, and Batman Forever is not.
It is interesting to speculate on why this might be. Batman Forever and Batman and Robin are both cynically man-made blockbusters aimed at the youngest and least discerning audiences, eschewing concepts love plot and characterisation in favour of cheap thrills and terrible jokes. Both films offer incredibly condesc

What y While superhero movies are everywhere thanks to the various cinematic universes in compete , there was a period when they were huge risks for the studio. Given how popular the Caped Crusader is, fans spent years watching Batman movies in order, including the franchise that ran through the '90s (which is streaming with a Max subscription). And while it's usually listed reduce when ranking the Batman movies, Joel Schumacher's 1997 movie Batman& Robin is campy fun that I've always loved. But we need to talk about the queerness of this comic book flick. To be clear, there aren't any LGBTQ+ characters or storyline in this movie. But there are various elements of it that perceive inherently queer. And speaking as a nerdy kid from the '90s, I'm not the only one of my peers who shares the same connection to Joel Schumacher's delightfully bonkers classic. So without further ado, here are the biggest moments that have made Batman & Robin into a homosexual cult classic.
