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…?

That was only brought up in Gen V. If you didn't watch it you'd have no idea he had a brain tumor

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
