Line 3:
* Type in "Batman and Robin" to google images. On the first line of pictures there will be a picture of the two making out. That says it all really.
* Lord knows [https://web.archive.org/web/20131124005328/http://superdickery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=32&Itemid=50 where] they got it [https://web.archive.org/web/20131226205040/http://superdickery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=32&Itemid=50&limitstart=72 from] but many people interpret ''[[Batman]]'' as having plenty of [[Ho Yay]]. One [[Moral Guardians|Moral Guardian]], Frederic Wertham, famously claimed that it was "homosexual propaganda". Some later writers intentionally joked around with this.
** Among other things, [[The Joker|Joker]] is occasionally thought to have feelings for Batman that go beyond simple obsession and into romantic obsession. In one scene, he tortures [[Lex Luthor]], and Lex Luthor asks him if he is upset that Batman loves Catwoman more than him. Joker looks almost adorably bewildered for a moment before flying into a rage and jacking up the torture level.

[[Fan Service|Not that I'm complaining...]]
*** [[Gail Simone]] agrees. She's [[Word of God|stated]] that far as she's concerned, [[Black Canary]] is a non-practicing [[Bi the Way|bisexual]]. And the above panel is from ''before'' she took over ''[[Birds of Prey]]''.
*** The Bat and the Cat storyline from ''Batman Confidential''. Long story short, Batgirl and Catwoman chase each other all over Gotham for possession of an important notebook. And at one point, [http://tytempletonart.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/batgirl-2.jpg this] happens. It certainly does look like angry sex.
