Are we just posting disturbing sex scenes now? Cause I remember one scene involving Metamoprho...
I'm surprised no one's brought up the sex scene in the first Catwoman issue of the New 52
My problem with that scene is not that Batman and Catwoman are having sex, but that the sex is depicted like any other fight scene in a superhero comic. There is absolutely zero atmosphere.
Contrast that scene with this brilliant sequence from Steranko:

Ugh! There have been other scenes in Batman comics that implied perhaps sex, but the scene in Catwoman#1 was just poorly executed. I'm not sure how much of the visuals were dictated by the script, but I mostly blame the artist. The whole thing just looked supremely awkward.
I believe the Geoff Johns Avengers collection simply cuts out the whole page.
It is a very weird scene for what had previously been basically an all-ages comic. But this was the period when Marvel was obsessed with making its core titles "edgy" and "modern." (You can always spot it in trades because it's the period where Bill Jemas forced all the titles to switch to Ultimate-style upper/lower-case lettering, only for most of them to go back to traditional all-caps after he left.) This issue was otherwise a very traditional, old-school Hank/Jan story with lots of continuity, so it almost feels like the sex scene was inserted so there would be something controversial in there.
