Owner's Description
Batman #64 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) on page 191.Chapter VII of the SOTI examines the effect comics book have on the “psycho-sexual development of children”. As a part of his analysis, Wertham provides several examples of the homoerotic nature of Batman and Robin stories and one such example is contained in Batman #64 – “In these stories there are practically no decent, attractive, successful women. A typical female character is the Catwoman, who is vicious and uses a whip. The atmosphere is homosexual and anti-feminine. If the girl is good-looking she is undoubtedly the villainess. If she is after Bruce Wayne, she will have no chance against Dick. For instance, Bruce and Dick go out one evening in dinner clothes, dressed exactly alike. The attractive girl makes up to Bruce while in successive pictures young Dick looks on smiling, sure of Bruce.” As shown by the attached scan, Batman #64 contains the story that Wertham describes on page 191 of the SOTI.
