Random bits of awesome
First, a brief history of Mr. J's character. Did you know the Comics Code Authority basically had to censor his character at one point? Best. Villain. Ever.
Then a discussion of the debatable gayness of Batman and his "wards", and a bit about general homosexuality in comics. Personally I'm too creeped out to think about Bats with Robin... but then again my Batsy is a dark, grim bastard who gets his rocks off hatefucking the Joker. Not too much room for an annoying little Robin flirting around being obnoxious there. (Which is why I'm kind of into Frank Miller's noir treatment of the start of Batman and Robin's relationship, though the story may be full of pulp and crack...)
Aaaand last, an essay that comes to the conclusion that Batman is crimesexual, possibly while inventing the word. Win.
