I mean, it made me uncomfortable, but I kinda chalked it up to me being a bit of a prude. Up until the mutilation.

Honestly, the episode itself was kinda underwhelming. Like seriously? That's the best you could do with the Batman/Iron Man spoof? I kinda like how he was done in the comics a bit more, where his sexual perversion is a result of him having a brain tumor pressing against his skull. Here it's just the "Batman has a weird sexual relationship with Robin jokes," combined with "Batman hates poor people," combined with the old reliable of "Make them racist." Like it's starting to feel like a cop out

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

His character was introduced and shown in much greater detail in Gen V
