Batman and Robin

This week the reading was on homosexuality in the Batman films. I think that the author read too much into the films. Although there are some scenes that may come off as a little bit homosexual, I don’t feel that it is the case. The author discusses how batman and robin could be considered homosexual because robin sits on the bed while batman is sick. This is ridiculous; he is just a friend of his and wants him to feel better.
The author also makes mention of the statue that is in front of Wayne Towers. It is a man holding up a globe. I feel that this symbolizes that Wayne Towers is basically Gotham’s main enterprise and supports the whole cities economy. This would be holding the world upon your shoulders.

Both of your essays are way too short. I can't give you any credit for them.
