Batman's Dripping Stalactite of Love!
Yes, Batman's Dripping Stalactite of Love. Literally. (And metaphorically. And so obviously literally metaphorically.... )
So, I've posted a lot of weird psycho-sexual batstuff in my time. (And, bless the Gothamites, there's a LOT left to post. )
But should you ever ask me, "Hey, zhinxy, what's the weirdest, creepiest quote unquote 'romantic" quote unquote "metaphorical" thing EVER in a Batcomic?" I'll say..
"Batman's Dripping Stalactite of Love. "
'Cause Freud saw this and he said...
" ...DUDE."
And here we first see the Dripping Stalactite of Love, dripping as it does on what looks a lot like a cat's face. Batman wishes to have a talk with Catwoman about their relationship, and he would like to use it as a visual aid...
.
For Batman swore to fight crime not...
Y'know...
... on its face...
Jesus, that's blatant...
But he wants her to know he THINKS about it. Often.
When he comes here.
Often.
(I'd be frightened for an eternity TOO, Selina... )
Yeah...
"Someday, the dripping stalactite and the rising cat will meet and fuse."
"But not tonight? "
"No."
Is real canonical, if pre-crisis Bat/Cat dialogue. And you know, that IS kind of awesome, on SOME level... Especially if West and Newmar are reading the lines in your head...
(And for that matter he "lets it hang..." )
And she goes weak in the knees for good measure...
Look, I'm pretty much out of things to ADD to this. Except to inform Bats that if one has reached THIS point in the annals of Sexual Frustration, the point where it's expressed in shockingly obvious metaphor with rocks In ones secret cave, one has basically two options.Bang Catwoman into next Wednesday right now or walk right into Arkham, and I think it's probably waaaaay too late for either.
But I cannot stress this enough.
THIS IS FROM A REAL BATMAN COMIC.
And the THING about Batman's Dripping Stalactite of love is that it didn't just fade away after one appearance. OH NO! The Dripping Stalactite of Love came BACK!
And Bats decides he was a bit premature about the NO MERGING thing after all!
(Will she consent to that blindfold again after the letdown that was last time, that's the question... )
Note: While the Batman Nobody Knows title had been used before, and used for a more famous story, at that... I think it's really more apt in this case. Because as utterly screwed in the head as we all knew he was, we really didn't even THINK he had frequent angst sessions in front of his Moneyshot Rock Formation. Now did we?
On the other hand, does Superman have a Moneyshot Icicle for Lois outside the Fortress? Huh? I DIDN'T THINK SO! WE WIN.
