19. The "Batman And Robin Are Gay" Theory Was Created To Destroy Comics
The first few decades of Batman's existence were obviously a much more innocent time, and now many panels from that era are poked fun at. However, there's a very real story behind the insinuations that Bruce Wayne and his sidekick had a "questionable" relationship, and these came from Dr. Fredric Wertham. He was hell bent on destroying the comic industry - something which very nearly happened with the formation of the Comics Code - and argued that his work as a therapist had seen "sexually maladjusted individuals" visit him who read Batman comics and had expressed romantic feelings towards Batman.
