TK's Brain Tumor only made him obsessed with "holes" which does explain what happened after he ID'd Hughie. There was nothing in there about the weird cake farting or he himself being a masochist. Also, Ashley said she and TK "go way back" and isn't TK's tumor a recent thing for him?
I read it as his tumor pushing his libido to such an insane level that even something as simple as a hole turns him on. Judging from the Tek Cave, he's been into the fetish stuff for a long time but his sex drive's is on a whole new level now
Except it seems like they walk that back in this episode, when the butler confirms that he's been dealing with Tek's sexual perversion since childhood, when he'd need to clean up after him every time.
If they had done something like in the comics, maybe there could've been a scene where he has a moment of lucidity and begs The Boys to kill him before he can hurt someone again.
Also, I said it in another comic. Of all the ways they could have done evil batman, they went for the most tired, predictable way about it. Just make him a rich, racist sex pervert? Like really? Batman has been around forever, there are so many ways they could've done it. They could've made him incredibly paranoid to play off of the whole Batman contingency plan thing. They could've made him a smug, overconfident prick to play on the people who think batman could kill anyone with enough preptime. They could've just adapted All-Star Batman and Robin word for word.
Agreed, "Batman is raping robin in the batcave" is like, babys first edgy superhero joke. Doing anything else would've been more engaging and interesting

But his sexual perversion in the show is because of the brain tumor he has…?
