As Batman's narrative evolved over the decades, it became increasingly intertwined with themes of homoeroticism, drawing attention to the relationship between Batman and Robin.
In 1954, psychiatrist Fredric Wertham pointed out a 'subtle atmosphere of homoeroticism' in Batman and Robin's adventures, suggesting they could influence children toward homosexual fantasies.
The cultural impact of Batman shifted dramatically with the 1995 film 'Batman Forever', which embraced a more overtly queer aesthetic, showcasing superhero suits designed for the queer male gaze.
