BATMAN AND ROBIN
My dears, how silly is the question about Batman.  Does anyone truly care?

DC Comics tells that a character, thought to be straight, will be revealed as 'gay'.  Newspapers write articles about the coming 'outing'.  How silly.

Rather think that being 'gay' is the new flavour of the year.  What with the President of US coming out in favour of same sex marriage and all.

This old geezer believes that homosexuals will never be totally accepted until folks stop doing this sort of thing.  When it becomes so natural, that no one remarks on, then it will be of no great import anymore.  Sort of like, left handed people, bald men, women in pants, black president...

It is so boring, the amount of time spent of wondering about someone's sexual proclivity.  Do you really care if famous film star bats for the other team?  Sports hero is a switch hitter?  As for the banging on from famous folks about their 'marriage', children and courage at being so 'open',  "Shut Up" already...

As for Batman, he does look rather good in tights...
