10 Most Embarrassing Batman Moments

1. He Thought He Had Sex With A Robot... Repeatedly

The most infamous moment in Batman: The Widening Gyre is when the titular character tells his ally that he suffered "a bladder spasm" on his first night out as vigilante.

However, this isn't the craziest part of the story. The mini-series revolves around Batman getting engaged to a woman called Silver St. Cloud. When Alfred asks her why she calls Bruce "Deedee", she says it's an abbreviation of "double-digits" and references how they had sex eleven times on their first night together.

If that seems crude, it gets worse. Batman gets so paranoid over St. Cloud, he nearly crashed his Batmobile into her car, dragged her out of her vehicle, pulled out a piece of her hair, and had it analysed to validate her identity.

When St. Cloud asked what he was doing, Batman told her he felt like she was so perfect for him, he suspected she was an android built by one of his enemies. This means Batman suspected that the woman he had sex with eleven times in a row... was a robot.

Unsurprisingly, Batman was humiliated when the test confirmed St. Cloud was human.
