Abstract
Bateman discusses his television research with sacerdotal zeal about batman. The research began before Tim Burton became the new Batman imagineer, so he imagined Batman started as a campy 1960s Adam West, whose gut distended from his nylon tights, long before Hollywood masculinity became a pathology. He was his first gummy morsel of gender consumption, identity diffusion, and good old classic narcissism. Indeed, here was a superhero of the post-Freud persuasion, whose sidekick wore panty hose with green briefs, a ballsy faux pas even now for anyone anywhere on the gendersex spectrum.
