Apparently, Batman Is A Selfish Lover And — Holy Heck — Does The Internet Have Jokes About It

    I guess we all know Batman's real "one rule" now.

    So, uh, yeah...ICYMI, Batman doesn't give head, I guess?

    This all started when Variety reported that DC Comics specifically asked the writers behind the Harley Quinn animated series to cut a scene in which the caped crusader was performing oral sex on Catwoman.

    DC asked the #HarleyQuinn team to remove a scene from Season 3 in which Batman performs oral sex on Catwoman. Why? "Heroes don't do that" @justin_halpern @PMSchumacker https://t.co/BSpuc1rjKE

    The amount of "pussy" puns in that scene were probably infinite, and now we'll never get to hear them!!! Thanks a lot, DC!!!

    Their reason behind cutting it? Well, according to DC, "Heroes don’t do that."* Taking it a step further, they said that they needed to "sell consumer toys for heroes, and it’s hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone."

    Well, y'all already KNOW that the internet came through with absolutely ALL of the jokes about this, so we took to the depths of Twitter and Tumblr to round up some of the very best and compiled them into this easy-to-enjoy list for your viewing pleasure! Ready? Okay, let's ~get down~ to it:
