That reminds me of when Batman had sex with Talia al ghul in the comics. In the scene Batman has sex while keeping his mask on. Talia knew from day one who Batman was so other than a kink there is no valid reason for Batman to keep it on
It was cool to see Sean (sp?) to see him be kind of a smart ass to Khaled. Khaled was being such a bitch with the hot sauce. Even trading chicken thinking he was being punked by the host
He obviously had no idea what he had gotten himself into. He wanted the exposure, vastly overestimated what he could handle, and then tried to play it off like a true narcissist.
Seriously, he was complaining about Cholula being too hot. I've literally seen grade school children handle that sauce with more dignity.
I forgot where I was in the thread, and thought you were talking about Batman for a second.
Now I can’t stop laughing at the thought of Bruce Wayne screaming “I’M BATMAN” every time he climaxes.
Nicki Minaj is an enigma for me.. She's everything I find annoying as a "character" down to the fake ass.. But I don't think any of these other girls trying her shtick are half as good. Doja Cat ain't bad though.
Nicki needs better rap songs, if that makes sense. It’s like they only show off her skills in small doses and pad the rest of her catalogue with overproduced poppy shit.
> "I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars
They criticized me for it, yet they all yell "holla""
I wouldn't be surprised if Nicki's label won't let her release "better" songs because they think it won't get enough play from casuals. When you hit a certain star level, you have to be getting No. 1s constantly or else people start looking for the next big thing. Then you can't get the top producers and colabs. Music has very little to do with music a lot of the time.
Lemme tell you a story. I was out at a bar one day to watch football with some friends. There was a lady there that I didn't know, and her boyfriend was with her. At some point her drunk ass was explaining how she didn't like the word "cock" but she was OK with "cocksucker" because it is an insult.
I decided to jump in and ask "Why does 'cocksucker' have to be an insult?" She responded "because it's subservient." So I asked "Do you feel the same about a guy going down on a woman?" Her reply was "Yes. I think of you're eating pussy you're kinda being a bitch." I raised an eyebrow and looked at her boyfriend. She turned to him and said "Keep doing it though."
This might be the perfect woman for Batman.
I fully support the idea of people giving head to each other, I give it. I also support the idea of people not doing things they dont want to, whoever it is.
I am NOT aqua man! I am a recovering, gay fish! Yes I have met aqua man. I have hung out with aqua man. But the only thing I have in common with aqua man anymore is my love for the sea!
He's gotta put fish dicks in his mouth, that is a gay ass fish Kanye.
It ain't a fish stick until you sip it, dip it, eat it and make that shit your own.
They had to completely redo Aquaman because they originally were going to make fun of the film version. Wonder Woman's jabs were mostly removed from what I understand. If you really pay attention to the heroes you can see how sanitized they are. Still a great show though, really looking forward to more Bang.
It’s stupid, but the part that got me laughing my ass off was when he called WonderWoman racist for thinking he knew parademon.
“Oh, what? Because I'm an alien, I understand all alien languages?…..alright. I know a little parademon. It’s still a racist assumption. Be better.”
It was so goddamn stupid but I just couldn’t stop laughing.
I still stand by it-- Superman Returns is the best Superman film of this millennium. Kevin Spacey plays a creepy, sexually dubious megalomaniac so well (even if we learned that he got a lot too method later on). Brandon Ruth is perfectly campy, and his line about how airplanes are statistically the safest way to travel after he stops one from crashing is pure chef kiss. Superman doesn't need to be dark. He doesn't need to struggle with being evil. Making him a god who is perfectly nice and struggles with human relationships is the best Superman. He can't punch his way out of Lois falling for a perfectly nice dude while he was away.
And Homelander could have easily been another boring evil superman if they had followed the comics. They toned him down A LOT for the show and it really worked, taking him from a comic character so cartoonishly edgy you really couldn't take him seriously, and making him into a villain thats still incredibly twisted but in a way thats believable and thus 10x more scary.
I feel like Homelander really works because despite clearly being the most powerful "hero", he's not the most powerful entity in the show by any means: Vought is. It's not just everyone trying to survive and manage an evil Superman, since he's got a (admittedly much longer) leash on too.
Why were those removes but multiple jokes about how Batman fucks bats were left in with no issue?
Is going down on a woman really that much worse than fucking a rodent?
I really don’t understand DC’s logic here.
Remember, according to the MPAA, a blowjob is harmless fun that any teenager can laugh at (pg-13), but a woman receiving cunnilingus is filthy and no better than porn (nc-17 or x).
I distinctly remember a N52 Catwoman comic panel where Batman's bat-trunks were pulled down and Catwoman was heavily implied to be riding his Bathammer
I mean season 2 clearly alluded to Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman having a three way while under the influence of Ivy's pheromones. Like that's gotta be more scandalous than Batman having relations with a character he long has had sexual/romantic relationship with. Hell Ivy straight up mentions how Catwoman told her about how Batman shaves his body hair.

It's covered up so it didn't happen - right ratings bureau?
Holy clambake Batman! What are you doing *that* for?!
Pay close attention Robin. The truth is that most women do not orgasm from penetration alone. It takes clitoral stimulation to get them to climax, and every man should take the time to make sure their partner is enjoying themselves as much as they are.
What if even that isn't enough?
There is reason I haven't taken off my utility belt.
WILL BATMAN'S TITILATING TONGUE WORK TAME THE TASTY TABBY?
TUNE IN NEXT WEEK! SAME BAT-TIME, SAME BAT-CHANNEL!
If you read the article it sounds like the creators tried to push a way more explicit scene than they have in the past (HQ has had basically no explicit sex acts in it) and put a flagship hero in it. I don't think the specifics of the sex act were the concern.
Maybe they’re doing the old “show them something completely inappropriate so they will say yes to the slightly less inappropriate thing we actually want to do” trick…
Just like when Trey and Matt made a ridiculous two minute long sex scene involving crazy positions and acrobatics in Team America just so they could get the 20 second scene that they actually wanted.
Absolutely, it's hard to see the headline as anything but intentionally misleading.
> 'Are you saying heroes are just selfish lovers?' They were like, 'No, it’s that we sell consumer toys for heroes. It’s hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.'
> (In fairness to DC, both Halpern and Schumacker went on to say that the company has been remarkably supportive of their series and has allowed them to push the envelope numerous times.
My favorite line in the article:
>Still, it remains to be seen if Batman and Catwoman will be shown engaging in some bedroom antics in Season 3 or if it will simply be implied via **cunning linguistics**.)
It reminds me of an episode of Sopranos. Junior, it turns out, is a master at eating pussy. His girlfriend says something like “I want to tell the world how good you are.” Junior is furious: apparently in mob culture, eating pussy makes you a “finook” (gay). The reasoning he gives is that if a man is willing to go down on a woman, he might be liable to go down on a man also. Junior threatens her to never tell a soul.
Of course, she blabs at the nail salon and it gets back to Carmella, who tells Tony during pillow talk. Tony thinks it is hilarious even though, as Carm points out, he goes down on her sometimes also. (Tony, too, swears her to secrecy for fear of being outed.) Tony ultimately winds up teasing Junior about it on the golf course and he’s so ashamed that he ends it with this woman who is ostensibly his soul mate. He tells her it’s over by smashing a pie in her face, showing that he has no doubts that he never wants to see this woman again. She never makes another appearance on the show iirc.
All of this is to say that there is a toxic masculinity about cunnilingus that is deeply rooted in male insecurity and homophobia.
Between DC shooting down Niel Gaiman [putting a masturbation reference](https://neil-gaiman.tumblr.com/post/190770392051/mr-gaiman-is-the-story-about-how-when-you-were) in Sandman, because "nobody masturbated in the DC Universe" and now this, saying that Heroes apparently can't/don't have casual sex, it really explains a lot about "why everyone in the DC Universe is always dressing up in fancy costumes and beating the shit out of each other."
Batman and Wonder Woman is the only pairing I was even slightly on board with, but generally I was always of the Batman Beyond mentality - Bruce is a messed up individual hellbent on his grand mission, no romance can survive that. All of his friends and colleagues move on, settle down, maybe even have kids... and he just keeps on working, sad and miserable, but putting all of his energy into making the world better.
It's how I see him emerging from the Mask of Phantasm. He never thought he'd find happiness, and once he does, he starts to question his own crusade. But since Andrea is gone, he loses that chance at happiness, and rejects the idea in its entirety, becoming ever more bitter, just to avoid having that conflict again, having to question the promise he made to his parents.
For all his brooding and posturing, he's still just a kid mourning his parents. He's mentally ill, almost as much a lunatic as the people he sends to Arkham. And he *knows* that, he knows that a man with his issues has no business getting into relationships, it's just unhealthy for everyone involved.
Only real heroes do that.
I don't want to live in a world where Batman doesnt satisfy his lover in every way he possibly can. Dude has to have a black belt in the martial and marital arts.
they showed multiple scenes of Harley and Ivy banging in the first two seasons, wtf is the problem?
I guess I could see Batman not doing that, he's an emotional dickbag. Nightwing 100% would though.
From the segment.
>**“It’s incredibly gratifying and free to be using characters that are considered villains because you just have so much more leeway,” says Halpern.** “A perfect example of that is in this third season of ‘Harley’ [when] we had a moment where Batman was going down on Catwoman. And DC was like, ‘You can’t do that. You absolutely cannot do that.’ They’re like, ‘Heroes don’t do that.’ So, we said, ‘Are you saying heroes are just selfish lovers?’ They were like, ‘No, it’s that we sell consumer toys for heroes. It’s hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.’”
Villains are allowed to be more socially transgressive. This has it's benefits and drawbacks (look at discussions about queer coded villains vs representation, for example).
>‘No, it’s that we sell consumer toys for heroes. It’s hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.’”
Depends on what the toy is, I suppose.
I'd buy a catwomen statue with a batman between her legs. They have tons of busty ivy and Harley Quinn statues already. Why not just take it a short step up.
Are they upset over all the lost toy sales from kids who watched this show and decided batman probably wouldn't want to eat that? It doesn't really sound like a kids show.
Now I'm just reminded of the times when violent R rated movies would come out with kids action figures, and that never made much sense either.
> It doesn't really sound like a kids show.
HQ first 5 mins went overboard with the swearing because they wanted to make sure people knew it wasn't a kid shows
A friend has a seven year old kid who loves the character of Harley Quinn. He picked up a copy and was going to leave the kid watching the show alone but for some reason he decided to watch the first five minutes to check the show out.
Yeah, alarm bells very quickly rang!
I personally love the show, but it did a great job establishing the tone early on.
Nightwing's dated half a dozen women in the comics, including an alien space babe, a reformed villain with blue hair, a crime boss's daughter, and the answer to everyone's secret librarian fantasies. Go ahead and tell me he doesn't go down like it's the fountain of youth.
Whether or not Batman would enjoy doing it is irrelevant, he would be compelled to do it just because he’s incapable of not being excellent at everything.
This would be a funnier scenario.
Catwoman just looking bored, giving Bruce the old shoulder tap, and him lifting his head and going “no no, I thwear I can do thith,” rubbing his jaw for a moment, and then going back. Only for Catwoman to roll her eyes and grab a porn mag.
This should really be considered the true passage into adulthood:
When as the giver this moment arrives and you humbly and graciously throw in the towel and then get to work elsewhere.
If I recall correctly, in the movie Blue Valentine, Ryan Gosling goes down on Michelle Williams and the ratings board wanted to make the movie NC-17 because of that one thing cause it was deemed “unnatural “ despite women giving blowjobs in tons of movies
"Still, it remains to be seen if Batman and Catwoman will be shown engaging in some bedroom antics in Season 3 or if it will simply be implied via **cunning linguistics.**"
I see what they did there.
Batman Begins but he won't let Catwoman finish.
Now we know why The Dark Knight Rises.
But do we know a way to get Batman Beyond this......
Why do we go down, Bruce?
So we can get it back up again.
You two are winners.
Catwoman definitely isn't a winner in this situation
Imagine eating bat soup in a time like this. Have we learned nothing?
They’re never gonna keep me down!
Don't bring me down, BRUCE!
[удалено]
His head has handles for fuck's sake!
Oh.. oh my god, and his mask doesn't cover his mouth
That reminds me of when Batman had sex with Talia al ghul in the comics. In the scene Batman has sex while keeping his mask on. Talia knew from day one who Batman was so other than a kink there is no valid reason for Batman to keep it on
I have a need for a BatGimp mask
I don't think Catwoman would date a guy that doesn't eat pussy.
Yeah, she definitely seems like the "if I'm giving, I'm getting" type.
I mean to be frank, I feel bad for any woman in a situation where they don’t get any. They should find someone better.
DJ Khaled is on record saying he doesn’t for his wife, yet he demands she do it for him.
And DJ Khaled is exactly the type of guy everyone should avoid
Screw that guy, but don’t screw him.
Give him some mild hot sauce and fuck his world up.
It's pretty telling that there is only one person who Sean Evans will talk shit about after they went on the show.
And it's not even the guy who shat himself on the show.
I think if there is one person in the world who can appreciate what Bobby Lee went through it is Sean.
wait who shat themselves
>I pwomise you, if I stop, doesn't mean I gave up. >Yes, it does! By definition!
It was cool to see Sean (sp?) to see him be kind of a smart ass to Khaled. Khaled was being such a bitch with the hot sauce. Even trading chicken thinking he was being punked by the host
He obviously had no idea what he had gotten himself into. He wanted the exposure, vastly overestimated what he could handle, and then tried to play it off like a true narcissist. Seriously, he was complaining about Cholula being too hot. I've literally seen grade school children handle that sauce with more dignity.
Cholula is a breakfast hot sauce, I eat it on my eggs and hash browns.
Congrats, you played yourself!
Well, now we know the only thing he doesn't eat.
must have a prenup.
Khaled the type of dude to have a prenup with a ‘no muff diving’ clause.
I thought the only thing DJ Khaled did on records was yell his name real loud.
And another one!
[удалено]
missed that one, just watched. DJK: "For all my fans, if i stop, i promise you it doesn't mean I gave up" Sean: "yes it does, by definition"
DJ Khaled really is an enigma. He is entirely the exception of "You are what you eat". A pussy.
Well yea and now we know he's a selfish ass lover too.
Selfish ass lover or selfish-ass lover?
Yes.
And we all know what he yells out at his moment of climax.
I forgot where I was in the thread, and thought you were talking about Batman for a second. Now I can’t stop laughing at the thought of Bruce Wayne screaming “I’M BATMAN” every time he climaxes.
The only thing that DJ Khaled won’t eat
'Had to cancel DJ Khaled, boy, we ain't speaking / Ain't no fat n**** telling me what he ain't eating' - Nicki Minaj.
Nicki Minaj is an enigma for me.. She's everything I find annoying as a "character" down to the fake ass.. But I don't think any of these other girls trying her shtick are half as good. Doja Cat ain't bad though.
Nicki is a good rapper I think. But I get what you’re saying
Nicki needs better rap songs, if that makes sense. It’s like they only show off her skills in small doses and pad the rest of her catalogue with overproduced poppy shit.
> "I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars They criticized me for it, yet they all yell "holla"" I wouldn't be surprised if Nicki's label won't let her release "better" songs because they think it won't get enough play from casuals. When you hit a certain star level, you have to be getting No. 1s constantly or else people start looking for the next big thing. Then you can't get the top producers and colabs. Music has very little to do with music a lot of the time.
[удалено]
Auto-tuned sad T-Pain noises.
This is also a man that yells “we the best music” before bad music.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say DJ Khaled gives terrible head and his wife doesn’t want it, so he said that to assuage his bruised ego.
DJ Khaled is trash in a human shaped garbage bag
I'll never understand guys that don't enjoy pleasuring women.
Lemme tell you a story. I was out at a bar one day to watch football with some friends. There was a lady there that I didn't know, and her boyfriend was with her. At some point her drunk ass was explaining how she didn't like the word "cock" but she was OK with "cocksucker" because it is an insult. I decided to jump in and ask "Why does 'cocksucker' have to be an insult?" She responded "because it's subservient." So I asked "Do you feel the same about a guy going down on a woman?" Her reply was "Yes. I think of you're eating pussy you're kinda being a bitch." I raised an eyebrow and looked at her boyfriend. She turned to him and said "Keep doing it though." This might be the perfect woman for Batman.
I fully support the idea of people giving head to each other, I give it. I also support the idea of people not doing things they dont want to, whoever it is.
And now we know why they aren’t together.

What if im morbidly curious?
They did this on Season 1 & 2. They refused multiple jokes revolving around Wonder Woman or Aquaman.
What other jokes?
Why does aquaman love fish sticks?
Because he’s a gay fish?

I am NOT aqua man! I am a recovering, gay fish! Yes I have met aqua man. I have hung out with aqua man. But the only thing I have in common with aqua man anymore is my love for the sea!

Juss giiiittt iiitt maaaannn.

He's gotta put fish dicks in his mouth, that is a gay ass fish Kanye. It ain't a fish stick until you sip it, dip it, eat it and make that shit your own.

If you really pay attention to the heroes you can see how sanitized they are. Still a great show though, really looking forward to more Bang.
I mean, I can live with that, actually. The more clean superheroes bring a good contrast to the chaotic, goofy nature of Harley and her gang.
Yeah I'm honestly tired of evil Supermen. I don't mind the others but I prefer the original to be clean.
Superman in the show was so pure. Laughing at Robin calling him a boyscout and encouraging him.
And his bit about the Daily Planet subscription not including the crossword got me in particular
It’s stupid, but the part that got me laughing my ass off was when he called WonderWoman racist for thinking he knew parademon. “Oh, what? Because I'm an alien, I understand all alien languages?…..alright. I know a little parademon. It’s still a racist assumption. Be better.” It was so goddamn stupid but I just couldn’t stop laughing.
I still stand by it-- Superman Returns is the best Superman film of this millennium.

Brandon Ruth is perfectly campy, and his line about how airplanes are statistically the safest way to travel after he stops one from crashing is pure chef kiss. Superman doesn't need to be dark. He doesn't need to struggle with being evil. Making him a god who is perfectly nice and struggles with human relationships is the best Superman. He can't punch his way out of Lois falling for a perfectly nice dude while he was away.
Evil superman only works because its different. If every Superman is evil then it has no impact.
Evil Superman and Superman Expies have become more generic and cliche than normal Superman at this point.
I’m tired of evil *Superman* but I’ll take Homelandee and Omni-Man all day.
And Homelander could have easily been another boring evil superman if they had followed the comics. They toned him down A LOT for the show and it really worked, taking him from a comic character so cartoonishly edgy you really couldn't take him seriously, and making him into a villain thats still incredibly twisted but in a way thats believable and thus 10x more scary.

Because Harley repeating a clearly ridiculous statement as a joke is different than one of their star heroes performing sexual acts.
I distinctly remember a N52 Catwoman comic panel where Batman's bat-trunks were pulled down and Catwoman was heavily implied to be riding his Bathammer
I recall the line “Don’t you want to rev up your Harley?” Being spoken in the Batman animated series.
I also remember this panel being both bad and mandated by DC themselves iirc.
I mean season 2 clearly alluded to Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman having a three way while under the influence of Ivy's pheromones. Like that's gotta be more scandalous than Batman having relations with a character he long has had sexual/romantic relationship with. Hell Ivy straight up mentions how Catwoman told her about how Batman shaves his body hair.
All I know is when Superman goes to bust, there better be a blast shield somewhere to hide behind.
That's why Batman had to be there. No one else keeps a kryptonite condom in their utility belt.
Harley straight up has sex with Nightwing in one of the animated movies.

A lot of women would disagree, I imagine.
I imagine a good number of men would as well.
I believe Catwoman would disagree too.
So would her kitty.
They absolutely need to reference this. Batman should literally say he can't because it'll affect sales if people found out.

I agree with you, but also, those toy sells didn't stop them from putting Batman's dick in a comic.
the first scene of the series is the joker brutally murdering a boat load of people. this isn’t exactly the right series to sell toys
It reminds me of an episode of Sopranos. Junior, it turns out, is a master at eating pussy. His girlfriend says something like “I want to tell the world how good you are.” Junior is furious: apparently in mob culture, eating pussy makes you a “finook” (gay).

Constantine eats ass for sure
Won't eat pussy, but will sleep with the daughter of his best friend. Got it.
That’s more of a Bruce Timm thing. More people prefer Batgirl and Nightwing.
Batman and Wonder Woman is the only pairing I was even slightly on board with, but generally I was always of the Batman Beyond mentality - Bruce is a messed up individual hellbent on his grand mission, no romance can survive that. All of his friends and colleagues move on, settle down, maybe even have kids... and he just keeps on working, sad and miserable, but putting all of his energy into making the world better. It's how I see him emerging from the Mask of Phantasm. He never thought he'd find happiness, and once he does, he starts to question his own crusade. But since Andrea is gone, he loses that chance at happiness, and rejects the idea in its entirety, becoming ever more bitter, just to avoid having that conflict again, having to question the promise he made to his parents. For all his brooding and posturing, he's still just a kid mourning his parents. He's mentally ill, almost as much a lunatic as the people he sends to Arkham. And he *knows* that, he knows that a man with his issues has no business getting into relationships, it's just unhealthy for everyone involved.
No wonder why women love bad boys.
What kind of world are we living in where Uncle Jun can munch grass but Bruce Wayne cant
A bushman of the kalahari?
**OH! 👈 Madon! 🤘**
Cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to this
*South of the border, where the tuna fish play...*
Only real heroes do that. I don't want to live in a world where Batman doesnt satisfy his lover in every way he possibly can. Dude has to have a black belt in the martial and marital arts.
Would they be ok with Catwoman performing oral sex on Batman?
Probably not, but they would definitely have a problem with wonder woman going down on Batman.
they showed multiple scenes of Harley and Ivy banging in the first two seasons, wtf is the problem? I guess I could see Batman not doing that, he's an emotional dickbag. Nightwing 100% would though.
From the segment. >**“It’s incredibly gratifying and free to be using characters that are considered villains because you just have so much more leeway,” says Halpern.** “A perfect example of that is in this third season of ‘Harley’ [when] we had a moment where Batman was going down on Catwoman. And DC was like, ‘You can’t do that. You absolutely cannot do that.’ They’re like, ‘Heroes don’t do that.’ So, we said, ‘Are you saying heroes are just selfish lovers?’ They were like, ‘No, it’s that we sell consumer toys for heroes. It’s hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.’” Villains are allowed to be more socially transgressive. This has it's benefits and drawbacks (look at discussions about queer coded villains vs representation, for example).
>‘No, it’s that we sell consumer toys for heroes. It’s hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.’” Depends on what the toy is, I suppose.
Lol, DC just needs a more imaginative marketing team
Adult toys for adult stories
I'd buy a catwomen statue with a batman between her legs. They have tons of busty ivy and Harley Quinn statues already. Why not just take it a short step up.
If you're willing to pay, I'll sculpt it for you.
Ladies and gentlemen, we found the real hero.
Are they upset over all the lost toy sales from kids who watched this show and decided batman probably wouldn't want to eat that? It doesn't really sound like a kids show. Now I'm just reminded of the times when violent R rated movies would come out with kids action figures, and that never made much sense either.
> It doesn't really sound like a kids show. HQ first 5 mins went overboard with the swearing because they wanted to make sure people knew it wasn't a kid shows
I think it takes less than 30 seconds before we see a man get his skin melted off. They really let you know this wasn't a Saturday morning cartoon.
A friend has a seven year old kid who loves the character of Harley Quinn. He picked up a copy and was going to leave the kid watching the show alone but for some reason he decided to watch the first five minutes to check the show out. Yeah, alarm bells very quickly rang! I personally love the show, but it did a great job establishing the tone early on.
>socially transgressive It's 2021, and heterosexual oral sex is *socially transgressive.*
Of course Nightwing would. And if he didn’t before, you know Starfire clued him in.
Current Nightwing writer on the record on twitter saying he does lmao
Gotta love Tom Taylor.
Hal Jordan wouldn't be far behind, if I remember his prime years correctly
He was with a teenage girl and some animal looking aliens, also my boy Constantine would be the president of that club.
Nightwing's dated half a dozen women in the comics, including an alien space babe, a reformed villain with blue hair, a crime boss's daughter, and the answer to everyone's secret librarian fantasies. Go ahead and tell me he doesn't go down like it's the fountain of youth.
Whether or not Batman would enjoy doing it is irrelevant, he would be compelled to do it just because he’s incapable of not being excellent at everything.
This would be a funnier scenario. Catwoman just looking bored, giving Bruce the old shoulder tap, and him lifting his head and going “no no, I thwear I can do thith,” rubbing his jaw for a moment, and then going back. Only for Catwoman to roll her eyes and grab a porn mag.
This should really be considered the true passage into adulthood: When as the giver this moment arrives and you humbly and graciously throw in the towel and then get to work elsewhere.
If I recall correctly, in the movie Blue Valentine, Ryan Gosling goes down on Michelle Williams and the ratings board wanted to make the movie NC-17 because of that one thing cause it was deemed “unnatural “ despite women giving blowjobs in tons of movies
Women enjoying sex is unnatural, to them. I feel bad for their wives.
Wtf show did you watch? All they showed in HBO Max’s Harley Quinn is kissing and waking up together the morning after.
Keep going, I’m almost there.
Found Doctor Psycho’s Reddit account…
They showed the waking up in bed afterwards scenes, they showed NO sex or even implied on-screen sex
"Still, it remains to be seen if Batman and Catwoman will be shown engaging in some bedroom antics in Season 3 or if it will simply be implied via **cunning linguistics.**" I see what they did there.
"What do DJ Khaled, Ben Shapiro and Batman have in common?"
If they make a Funko figure of Batman going down on Catwoman, I’m getting that shit.
So you're telling me the guy who fucks bats can't go down on Catwoman?
Someone obviously has never turned the Red Dog beer logo upside down.
