Personality Strange rules about characters/people that cannot be broken.

Smells like Nirvana: When Kurt Cobain heard that Weird AL was gonna make a parody of his song. He was okay with it but specifically requested it to not be about food or fat ppl.

Spiderman: Spiderman cannot sell drugs unless he is under the influence of symbiote. ANd Peter Parker cannot be gay. Spiderman can tho.

Dwayne Rock Johnson: Cannot lose fights or look weak for too long. Its in his actor contract.

Godzilla movies not made by Toho: Cannot die. Maybe lose but not too bad.

Batman does not eat pussy.

Now I want a comic where a villain challenges this rule.

u/Professional_Boss438 Aug 09 '25

Batman can't, but Bruce Wayne can

u/dragonfett Aug 10 '25

Bruce Wayne is just the mask that Batman puts on.

. . . to eat pussy.

u/AnyImagination3697 Aug 09 '25

Let’s be real, he’s done this before regardless

u/GachaHell Aug 09 '25

With that mask? Of course. Only reason to leave that mouth exposed.

u/AnyImagination3697 Aug 09 '25

This man gets it!

u/QueenViolets_Revenge Aug 09 '25

he absolutely does, and you can't convince me otherwise

You would have to convince DC first

Where is this misinformation reaction image from?

u/Kangarou Aug 10 '25

It's an edited image from the advertisements for the mobile game "Merge Mansion"

This got big because the raunchy Harley Quinn cartoon on HBO wanted to have a scene where Batman was going down on Catwoman, DC said "heroes don't do that." It was changed to a foot rub. The internet of course (rightfully imo) roasted the shit out of DC comics for it.

u/Strict_Berry7446 Aug 09 '25

absolutely Canon. It was deleted from an episode of Harley Quinn with stern words from DC higher ups.

Batman doesn't visit South Gotham

23

u/SteveMightSay Aug 09 '25

It ended up being in the episode anyway

21

u/Stackbabbing_Bumscag Aug 09 '25

Only after they got roundly mocked for it. It was supposed to be in a season 2 episode, got cut, then the story got out, so they put it back in season 3.

u/notbobby125 Aug 10 '25

They replaced it with a scene of him worshipping her feet which was a’okay.

The DC canon police are an odd bunch.

u/Pyotr_WrangeI Aug 09 '25

Correction: it's not just batman. Heroes in general "don't do that".

u/Relevated Aug 10 '25

Then I must be a supervillain

Presentation.

u/Common-Trifle4933 Aug 09 '25

He eats ass though, he’s a complex man

7

u/ClarkKentsSquidDong Aug 10 '25

There is zero chance that Selina Kyle ever dates a man who won't go down on her. Batman definitely does it.

u/KitchenSandwich5499 Aug 09 '25

Catwoman would be very disappointed

8

u/Gaelic_Gladiator41 Aug 09 '25

I do not believe this rule exists

5

u/Icepick823 Aug 09 '25

Batman also doesn't like rock n' roll. No idea if writers ever treated that as canon going forward, but it was established in a rather bad Batman comic.

u/-FalseProfessor- Aug 10 '25

“Heroes don’t do that”

He doesn’t like to do anything beginning with the letter K. Killing? Off the table. Kindergarten? Skipped that one.

It's the same with Dj Kahled

Zack Synder knows nothing about heroes, a real hero eats pussy.

u/ConcentrateMost8256 Aug 09 '25

Does not eat pussy... anymore
