Does Batman Perform Oral? The Debate Is Going Down On Twitter
Nothing prepared me for logging on to Twitter today and seeing the platform dripping with a heated discussion on whether Batman performs oral sex. Where did this come from? Perplexed, the Broke-Ass Stuart I-Team tried to put our finger on why people would be arguing over whether or not Batman goes downtown.

This curious argument tunnels out of an interview published this morning in Variety magazine with the creators of an animated series called Harley Quinn, which apparently played on a streaming service called DC Universe Infinite, and will be switching to HBO Max for Season 3. (HBO Max already has the first two seasons up.) The writers wanted to create a different kind of DC Universe, so they were really thinking outside of the box.

âIn this third season of Harley, we had a moment where Batman was going down on Catwoman,â executive producer Patrick Schumacker told Variety. âAnd DC was like, âYou canât do that. You absolutely cannot do that.â Theyâre like, âHeroes donât do that.â So, we said, âAre you saying heroes are just selfish lovers?â They were like, âNo, itâs that we sell consumer toys for heroes. Itâs hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.ââ
Remember that very recent comic that showed Batmanâs dick? Or that very recent movie that showed Bruce Wayneâs entire ass in the shower?
I canât believe they sold toys from those. https://t.co/pQGAyGwByn— Jake! (@Vaughanilla_Ice) June 15, 2021
Maybe theyâre just selling the wrong kind of toys?
Meanwhile, unlike Batman, Thor says he is just fine doing that⊠pic.twitter.com/kQAsKMZNyX

Batman has always been a cunning hero, and it seems like the higher-ups at DC Comics just werenât very coozie with the idea of Batman performing oral. So this should not be seen as a canonical decision that Batman does not eat pussy. We have to consider that the DC Comics franchise is currently owned by Warner Bros., which is itself owned by AT&T. And those executives are not exactly chomping at the bit to see Batman perform oral sex on Catwoman.
