batman und robin

10:13 p.m.upon reading about the history of comics, i came across this little piece of information (see below) i found to be a little amusing.
the general public, as a whole, can be pretty funny sometimes. okay, all the time. especially when they like to blame entertainment for our worlds "problems", specifically with the youth. today, it's rap, back then, it was comics. seriously now, reading comic books, watching violent films, and listening to rap music, made me gay. hmmm. and apparently violent. and unruly.
anyway... this snippet is in regards to Dr. Fredrick Wertham and his book, The Seduction of the Innocent.
He claims that the difference between comics and pornography for adults was that one was meant to attract perverts, the other, comics, was meant create them.
He claimed Batman and Robin were a homosexual couple and nothing more than propaganda. He blames the rise of open homosexuals on comics. Were he not so serious, his comments would have been quite humorous. Observe the following Wertham observations:
Sometimes Batman ends up in bed injured and young Robin is shown sitting next to him. At home they lead an idyllic life. They are Bruce Wayne and "Dick" Grayson. Bruce is described as a "socialite" and the offical relationship is that Dick is Bruce's ward. They live is sumptous quarters, with beautiful flowers in large vase and have a butler, Alfred. Batman is sometimes shown is a dressing gown. ...the young boy sometimes worries about his partner. It is like a wish dream of two homosexuals living together. Sometimes they are shown on a couch, Bruce reclining and Dick sitting next to him, jacket off, collar open, and his hand on his friend's arm. Like girls in other stories, Robin is sometimes held captive by the villians...
Robin is a handsome ephetic boy, usually showing his uniform with bare legs. He is buoyant with energy and devoted to nothing on earth or interplanetary space as much as to Bruce Wayne. He often stands with legs spread, the genital region discreetly evident.
i mean, come on. do these two look even remotely gay?
