There's this guy in New York -an artist- and he came under fire from DC Comics this month for the way he has portrayed Batman and Robin - as a couple of fags.
Have a look:
Nothing new here huh? Certain quarters always claimed there was a certain subbbtext to B and R, but I'm confused.
Is the above image supposed to be acceptable to me because I'm as gay as the artist (well, maybe gayer after a few vodka's...) because, well, it isn't.
And this mild compared to the other paintings.
Taking a pop culture icon and trashing it for the sake of sensationalism is lazy and lacks any kind of creativity or originality.
And it's not particularly well painted either.
And yes Binky, I can say fag, I'm reclaiming it.
