Cultural Studies scholars writing about the homoeroticism of
Batman and Robin (and there are a number) are encountering a

Jeet Heer reports in Lingua Franca (March 2001), the
publisher has steadfastly rejected requests to use illustrations of
the Caped Crusaders if the topic veers toward their sexual
preference.
