It's hilarious how DC would brag about pushing the envelope into more adult areas when talking about '89 Batman, Batman: TAS, The Dark Knight, The Joker movie but consensual oral sex is where they draw the line. LOL

Frankly, I don't care what kind of sexual acts Batman does nor do I want to know. Leave that kind of stuff to fans on the internet.
I can completely understand DC not wanting to say he does certain things.
It's always been weird the kinds of things DC will and won't allow Batman to do. I remembered hearing about one story DC killed because Batman was actually shown in costume on a date flirting with a woman (in the story he was under some kind of mind control to continue to act like Bruce Wayne even in costume.)
Good for DC. If you want to watch porn, watch porn. Don't desecrate an eighty-year-old franchise beloved by children and families so a few edgy manchildren on the Internet can make memes.
And before anyone asks, I hated Apokolips War too.
So in the long history of DC we have watched the Joker shoot and cripple Barbara Gordon while psychologically torturing her father and do god only knows what else in the Killing Joke, Batman be drugged and raped by Talia Al Ghul to produce a baby, Nightwing be raped by a supposed heroine after he gets knocked out, watched as Bane nearly folds Batman in half, seen as Joker sadistically beats Jason Todd with a crowbar and then proceeds to blow him up to smithereens (due to popular vote by the fanbase at the time), seen Killer Croc eat people, Scarecrow drive people insane with his toxin, and so on and so forth...oh and earlier in the show we had Harley and Ivy roll around under the sheets where it is very clear they are indeed naked as they made love to one another and which was shown to everyone on the planet...yeah DC really stepped up didn't they by stopping Batman and Catwoman from going too far didn't they? Bravo DC, Bravo.
Damian's the most interesting one of the bunch, come to think of it. With Jonathan Kent, you can just say that "yeah, Lois and Clark and married and they have a son", and kids can think the child was an immaculate conception for all they care. Bart Allen is Barry and Iris' grandon ''from the future'' so yeah, no need to think too much about it.
But Damian is explicitly the product of premarital sex. I mean, there's no way to get around the idea that Batman's son Damian was born to Talia, a woman he's definitely not married to. Come to think of it, when it comes to Damian's conception, ''premarital sex'' may be the nicest way of putting it...
This, plus his generally violent and occasionally kill-happy nature, actually makes me wonder how marketable Damian as Robin is to younger audiences.
If you think about it, Damian's primary appearances outside comics include the DC Animated Movies (which are PG-13 if not R) and the Harley Quinn cartoon.
Its telling that the only ''all-ages'' appearance of Damian, that I'm aware of, is an episode of the Brave and the Bold where they completely rework the character. If I recall correctly, in that version, Damian is the son of a very much married Bruce and Selina, and personality-wise, he's a total 180 from the comic-book Damian (he's more like Dick, if Dick was Bruce's biological son).
Sounds pretty in character. He's suppose to be self centered and egotistical. At least in the modern day.

The franchise that includes a call in vote to kill a teenager in its history.
It's been made more for edgelord manchildren than kids for a while now, this just shows that DC's priorities can be even more skewed than we thought.
All the fanart of him getting down and dirty with Superman and Catwoman, and sometimes Wonder Woman or Hal or Nightwing or Joker or pretty much anyone under the sun, begs to differ.
It's not like animated Batman has been lacking in sexual innuendo earlier, even including Catwoman…
