This morning, two black-and-white preview pages from the upcoming Return of Bruce Wayne hit the web, and as is the style with Grant Morrison’s various projects, I’ve been called upon to annotate the deeper meanings of the story before it’s even out. And that’s exactly what I have done, tying ROBW to Final Crisis through an in-depth study of Batman’s truly diabolical six-pack.
This may be one of my favorite things I’ve written for ComicsAlliance–and in general–and it’s definitely the piece that I’ve had the most fun writing in a long, long time. So enjoy, and witness the depths of my devotion.
Gotta love the Sprouse.
I heartily approve of any positive depiction of the furry chested as worthy of emulation by other men and of being desired by women. And if they want to show Batman beating up bald chested men, I also heartily approve.
Now, if only they’d show him with back hair…
You paleontological reasoning is unassailable.
So first Ricky Martin, and now Chris Sims??
Whatever you decide to announce (or not), I for one just want you to be happy.
At the risk of quoting (mis as it probably is) shortpacked, lots a straight guys are into Batman, he’s `fair game’, like Harrison Ford.
Anything that makes fuzzy-chested dudes more attractive to the ladies is fine by me.
Caveman Batman is HOT! Total Paleolithic Daddy material.
Chris is a Batmosexual.
He isn’t coming out of the closet, he’s coming out of the Batcave.
(Curiously, Firefox spell check is flagging “Batcave”, but not “Batmosexual”. You’re not alone, Chris.)
That Bruce Wayne smells like apples is now a permanent part of my understanding of the character.
FACT: IT’S NOT GAY IF IT’S BATMAN. For real, even my friends who are lesbians would give it up for Batsy.

But…lesbians giving it up for Batman by *definition* are not gay…
