Now It's Batman's Turn To Give Birth, In Knight Terrors (Spoilers)

What will the response be to a Batman who gives birth? That's what's coming in the Knight Terrors comic book event in July and August,

There was an almighty hoo-hah in the right-wing media back in January. All because a DC Comics Joker comic from the Batman line published an imaginary story that saw the Joker as pregnant, giving birth to a clone of himself, after being hit by a spell from Zatanna. Apparently it was trans propaganda or somesuch. Not entirely sure how that worked.

DC Comics have been running such "imaginary" stories for seventy years, but for some reason, this one was of interest to Fox News and the New York Post because having a pregnant man, even for a comedy backup strip to a Joker comic, was a sign of the end times.

What will the response be to a Batman who gives birth? Especially one trapped in his body as a child Bruce Wayne? That's what's coming in the Knight Terrors comic book event, with Batman trapped in his own nightmares, as the younger Bruce Wayne version of himself, from the time when his parents were murdered. And he finds a way to deal with all the unresolved issues by… well, it seems by giving birth (through the mouth) to a giant Bat version of himself with a handgun for a head. And presumably coming to a toy store near you for Christmas – I did hear that this is partially the point of the Knight Terrors books rolling out in July and August…
