Is the Batman/Robin dynamic inherently campy?
Could the Dark Knight trilogy have been as gritty and serious with Robin as a featured character?
Does the campy history of the character carry through at all for audiences only exposed to the grittier reboots?
Would bringing Robin back in the next movie(s) change the tone of the franchise?
critical/political (dealing with other critic's responses or social/cultural/political implications):
Might the impulse to dismiss Wertham's critique of Batman as gay be motivated by homophobia?
Would Sontag interpret Batman as a gay character?
- Does establishing a superhero's sexuality really matter in today's TV and movies?
- Does the "reheterosexualization" of Batman in the 1960's show intolerance for homosexuality?
- Does the "reheterosexualization" of Batman in the 2000's show intolerance for homosexuality?
- Does the "telephone poll" killing of Robin in the late 1980's show intolerance for homosexuality?
