DC Comics has ordered a New York gallery to remove pictures which show Batman and Robin kissing and embracing.

The Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts gallery was told it would face legal action unless it removed watercolours of the superhero by artist Mark Chamberlain.

"DC Comics wants me to hand over all unsold work," said Ms Cullen.

Arts website Artnet was also told to remove the series of semi-naked images of Batman and Robin from its website. DC Comics was unavailable to comment.

Homoerotic poses

The colour pictures, which depict the superheroes in a number of homoerotic poses, were put on display in the gallery in February.

Seven images from the collection were subsequently displayed on the Artnet site.

Artist Chamberlain's works have been exhibited in numerous Manhattan galleries since 1991, with collections entitled Neo-Erotic and Gender Tennis among others.

Two years ago an artwork featuring Kylie Minogue's bottom was pulled from the Royal Academy's summer show after the singer's lawyers complained.

This is... strange, at best.

As long as they don't get rid of gay Joker.

How come they didn't sue James Cameron?

I think Rob's more interested in another thing getting pulled.

Found a link to the images at http://www.artnet.com/ag/fulltextsearch.asp?searchstring=Chamberlain

Personally, the work isn't that good, and if it wasn't for the subject depicted, it wouldn't garner that much attention at all ...

and rob?

Those pic's could've easily been made by a kid, if it wasn't for the innuendo (sp?). I thought the pic's would've been from comics, with Batman/Bruce hugging or kissing Robin/Dick as a father would do. I guess the "artist" wanted to create sensation.

He's right! We should rob the gallery! Steal the paintings and nobody will look at them again!
LETS GO THERE AND BURN EM!

If you pluralise 'fucktard' you don't need the apostrophe, it's just 'fucktards'.
