Thinking about the unintentional(?) homoeroticism of Silver Age World’s Finest Comics; how sociocultural factors in the 1950s made DC implement strong censorship and make everything silly and harmless so as not to be “inappropriate”; how Fredric Wertham railed against homosexuality in Batman comics; how this resulted in blatant sexism, racism, and heteronormativity in comics. And yet: Batman and Superman were consistently written as, well, pretty gay.
They both have female love interests (Lois Lane for Clark, I think Kathy Kane and Vicki Vale, among others, for Bruce), but in the Silver Age there was a consistent theme that these women were in constant pursuit of the men they loved, but Clark and Bruce always refused the possibility of romantic relationships with them (ostensibly because “crime-fighting and marriage don’t work well together”). The women were present to be The Heterosexual Love Interests, but despite that, the most well-developed relationship in World’s Finest (indeed, its emotional core) was that of Clark and Bruce. Their friendship consistently bordered on the romantic; all their emotional conflict and fulfillment was focused on each other. Plus there’s the fact that Clark effectively functioned as Dick’s second father.
Essentially, despite the systemic homophobia of the 50s and 60s, Batman and Superman were written as each other’s strongest emotional relationships, openly discussing their affection for each other as well as being physically affectionate. Their female love interests were basically there to dispel the idea of homosexuality.
I just!! Cannot believe! How beautifully gay these comics were during a time when the writers were trying to do exactly the opposite!
