I feel like I should point out we've gotten Batman/Catwoman sex scenes in like 2-3 animated films by this point but this was probably a too explicit and kinky kind of sex for them to show the characters partaking in.
Ironic how DC's reaction being made public has led to a lot of people clowning on the character they're trying to "protect".

And yet there hasn't been a live action one yet. I wonder if the new movie will change that.

i'm not sure if this wasn't a marketing for the tv show and HBO Max. Majority of batman fans aren't aware of this news

This story has already gotten more reach than anything actually from a Batman comic since dickgate.
This type of sex is pretty vanilla
I'm not sure why its not cool for Batman but A okay or Green Arrow to go down on Black Canary
They have to make a joke about this in the show though
Something like Bruce is a selfish lover or something
Its funny how this story has since gone viral
I wasn't expecting such a silly story to become fodder for memes and jokes but Batman is a generous provider
It's very funny that this is where they apparently draw the line after so many questionable and controversial depictions of Batman they have allowed to run through.
Generally, I agree that these characters should be PG13 because the target audience is mainly kids, but DC is trying to have it both ways they want to create an adult line of comics or tv show but the only approved acceptable behaviour is violence whereas any sexual behaviour that goes beyond PG is censored.
I also strongly disagree that we should not focus on the romantic lives of superhero characters, the more removed these characters have become from having any romantic, social, work and personal life the more boring they have become.
Gotta love DC.
Batgirl has sex with Batman on top of a roof in an animated movie - Good to go.
Catwoman and batman have sex on top of a roof in a comic - Good to go.
Batman flashes his penis in the Black Label comic - Good to go until people notice.
Batman goes down on Catwoman in an adult cartoon - Nope. never. can't do it. to submissive. maybe Catwoman can go down on batman and we'll approve it? All superheroes are virgins now. Cant sell Batmerch like that. Ruins Batmans alpha male status.

I actually wonder as well if this is really about the submissiveness thing. They think showing him do that makes him less of an alpha. Because honestly, the toy explanation is bullshit. This show is for ADULTS and they sure as hell know that, given everything they've let them do with all these characters on the show already.
I think it's about something else.

Have Ollie and Dinah ever been that explicit? Maybe in a Mike Grell comic...
[QUOTE=Badou;5584614]Yeah, it just feels like the relationship, sex lives, and shipping drama has gotten way out of control. This story is kind of funny/weird, but also a little sad that people care so much about the sex life of a character that is used to also sell toys and underwear to kids. There has always been friction between these IPs trying to live in both worlds, or at least to me I guess.[/QUOTE]
Maybe it might be my own bias talking but I think those relationships are partially what gets people invested in the stories to begin with.
This is absolutely hilarious, somebody at DC is having fun with this little controversy

You're right. They are.
