Supposedly "great" movies that kind of sucked

Damn, I was prepared to say that if there really was a guy in a batsuit who jumped off tall buildings and brought in a few rapists, murderers, and the odd terrorist, then the public would probably call him a superhero, and would not give a damn about the rest of it.

Aside from that, I don't think Batman was a homo when he was first created, although yeah I suppose anybody who walked into a biker bar wearing a rubber suit and cape might get the bum's rush no pun intended, so point taken there. The Batman in Dark Knight, sure looked like he held a torch for the prosecutor's girlfriend. At one time he obviously boned her.

But that's not necessarily the way it is. Just because some gay fetishists wear rubber suits, doesn't make everyone who wears rubber suits a gay fetishist. But yeah ok, there is an element of truth buried somewhere in your post.

I'm not suggesting that the Batman as portrayed in the Dark Knight is gay, the director has gone out of his way to try and make the film dark and edgy and remove all the campiness.

But what I'm saying is that it's impossible to reinvent a character like this. The Batman character for the last several decades has been notoriously camp and gay. Trying to create a serious, dark, gritty film around him is like trying to create a film about Michael Jackson and his sex conquests amongts the hottest celebrity women. Sure they could take away his child molestation accusations, his Neverland ranch, his fair ground and extensive plastic surgery and just focus the film on his marriage to Elvis Pressley's daughter but we'd all know it was just a crock of shit.

Batman is a bigger bender than an Indian Yogi.

I've no doubt that over the years people have put there own spin on Batman, including a gay spin, but I'm willing to bet that things like gay and camp don't occur to the majority of people out there when they think of Batman, until they have really researched the topic, or heard about it from you.

hehe I'm just informing the masses that the film execs are all having a laugh at your expense. They do it all the time with stuff. Tom and Jerry, He Man, both completely gay cartoons riddled with gay references.

The Magic Roundabout, all about drugs, lsd, trips etc.

These writers all have a great sense of humour and want to see how far they can go in creating the most outrageously camp or disturbing stuff and then disguise it so common people and morons will watch it and think it's cool, completely missing the point that the writers are deliberately creating this stuff just to laugh at you.

It's like when I invented the Baggins Clan. Everyone on here instead of recognising it for the ridiculous joke that it was actually started to create their own clans, much to mine and Legion's amusement, with whom I had bet I could make Violent D create his own online tough gang complete with avatar.
