Because everyone spend so much timegoing on about Nightwing ’s assandCatwoman ’s inexplicably discover armpits , it can be easy to block that Bruce Wayne is very much a sex symbolization in his own right . But creative person Clay Mann has been trying to remind everyone with his illustrations in DC’songoing Batman series that ’s currently being penned by Tom King .
While they ’ve been vacationing ( kinda ) though , Mann ’s go out of his agency to show off just how — forgive me — progress the series ’ heroes are , and the creative person has taken special care to give Bruce just as much of the cheesecake intervention as he gives to Selina , which issomething of a ( very welcome ) curiosity in mainstream strip .

In a recent interviewwith Entertainment Weekly , Mann unpacked the abstract thought behind the garish , false mustache Bruce has been rocking as part of his Matches Malone disguise for the preceding few issues , explaining that the look was inspired by his lovemaking for Tom Selleck in Magnum P. I. , but it ’s a tough call to say whether that serial ever rendered Selleck as hunkily as Mann depicts Bruce
Bat - hunger away , what really spring out about Mann ’s illustrations is how their sensualness emphasise an aspect of Batman and Catwoman ’s interpersonal dynamic , that too - often gets boil down to “ moody hero sometimes flirts with that one criminal he ’s warm of letting get forth . ” Even witha botched marriagebehind them , Bruce and Selina are one another ’s people with decades of story , drama , and an intense intimacy that ’s as physical as it is psychological .

That kind of bond has to have a very particular sort of get-up-and-go to it so as to feel material and significant , and in cases with characters like these , that energy sometimes has a decidedly fucky timbre to it . Which Mann ’s obviously leaning into with a vengeance .
