Holy Bat Gonads
Holy Bat Gonads So, Every once in a while something is done in comic books to try to drum up the attention and sales for any given tent pole character. Whether it is the death of a beloved character or side kick or even the main character himself. You can always guarantee that there was a meeting held on how to make things exciting and bring readers back to the book. This past month a well known publisher went to the ultimate extreme to bring attention to the title for one absurd reason. we all got to see Batman's Dick. I don't think a single fan out there was asking to see Batman's dick and I'm including the female fan base. To me, as a writer, you just put your character and your fans in a vulnerable spot. Your character is there for all to see, and your fans are kind of forced to look at it. No matter how well you add just the subtle amount of lighting and shadowing. I have been struggling to write this blog now for a week. Not because of his dick being the subject. I just keep digressing into the core of what I think makes Batman who he is as a human. I have a hard time looking at him as a hero and more of a sociopath that loves to prey on the less fortunate of society. This is a man, who has never been able to cope with the tragic death of both of his parents. In turn, he has dedicated his life to becoming a night time vigilante who understands that he will never bring the person responsible for his torment to justice. Yet continues his crusade to strike fear in the citizens of the lower income side of town by dressing as a bat and armed to the teeth like a doomsday prepper with gadgets themed to go along with his costume.. which at some point he must feel like the silliest person in the world because he is the only guy in the room with a cape and full body leotard on. So, I think that getting a glimpse of batman's dork really isn't the only thing that makes his look silly. EDIT: The one point that i did not get to originally was the lack of conviction from the publisher is that they folded to the pressure of the backlash and removed the penis from every consecutive publishing and the digital release. The first question the publishers should have asked themselves is, Does anyone really need to see Batman's dick? Also, what purpose does it serve and then you have to address the obvious double standard present. Wonder Woman can run around in a bikini and be drawn as a nude woman with a painted suit on, while a single penis outrages an entire fan base. Batman's dick doesn't matter, but if you are going to go full frontal, then don't apologize about it later. |

I don't know the storyline in which he was required to be naked - but "was it advanced" by his being shown full-frontal nude? It's not really that shocking. Unless a man has been maimed, he usually has a dick. DC Comics needs to take ownership for having shown it, and move on. Do they ever show any of their other characters fully naked, with genitalia displayed? If NOT, then this may have been done for shock value and nothing else. Check out my profile or and become a "watcher" of my blog FMAOPLS,to learn more about me, and for intelligent, lively, smartassy and fun discussion, with a little irreverence thrown in. "Like" or comment on my photos, and I promise I'll add more. Thanks.
