Sex is a popular topic on social media. Comics are popular, too. But rarely do we get a crossover trend that hilariously combines the two.
That’s what happened in June 2021, after Variety published an article about the subversion of the super hero genre. More specifically, Variety reported that the producers of the adult animated series “Harley Quinn” had asked the show to remove a scene in which Batman performed oral sex, saying “heroes don’t do that.”
This sparked a conversation about sex, masculinity, and Batman’s love life. As this conversation was churning away on social media, Amanda Wong, a Vancouver artist who was worked on shows such as “Carmen Sandiego” and “Rick and Morty,” posted a screenshot of a piece of text that supposedly relayed a story told by Adam West, the actor who portrayed Batman on TV in the 1960s, about how he was once kicked out of an orgy because he refused to break character.
