It was always more about the people obsessed with their sexuality than the heroes themselves." Smigel recalled.[4]
The shorts were intended to satirize suggestions that early Batman comics implied a homosexual relationship between the eponymous title character and his field partner and protégéRobin, a charge most infamously leveled by Fredric Wertham in his 1954 book, Seduction of the Innocent,[6] the research methodology for which was later discredited.[7]
In June 2020, Robert Smigel told The Daily Beast that the engine of the show was an "obsession with sexuality" and that he thought that it was funny because the homophobes and everyone are obsessed with finding out whether the superheroes are gay or not, calling it "sport and titillation."[8] He added that the point of the cartoon was that it doesn't matter whether the superheroes have sex or not and said that since there has been "an incredible amount of progress" since the series premiered, he would not write the cartoon today.
