You can’t tell me that unless you were just as upset that—in our own show—we had Batman and Catwoman growing up together… but you come to me and you say to me that ‘I’m OK with you being queer, but I’m upset that you’re changing a canon character,’ what you are saying to me is ‘I am homophobic and I am afraid of gay people and queer people.’
I just want to address the people who say, you know, ‘I have no problem with him being gay or queer or anything, I just have a problem with you guys changing or altering the canon.’
And I have to say that that’s a bunch of horseshit.
Because, you can’t say that to me if you also didn’t have the same amount of consternation about Batman ’89, where the Joker killed Batman’s parents.
