It's amazing how many people find it difficult to separate characters from the actors who play them. I don't know what they've done to Batman in recent years, but yes, traditionally there's never been any doubt he's into women only. Straight as a laser beam.
shareActually, there has been an imputation, by some, of homosexuality in the Batman & Robin relationship almost from the beginning :

Just because you insist on seeing it that way doesn't mean others don't look at the scene and draw some homoerotic nuance. It was there. I didn't see it that way, as a kid, but talk to some gay folks - they did. But everyone bought the comics, gay or straight. Read the wiki - the guy who played Robin on the TV series saw it, too.
Were they acting out sexually ? No. They were just dancing & prancing around the question.

I encounter a good share of folks on-line who seem to have a compulsion that things be viewed in very specific ways - their own. It's kind of silly. Couldn't you just admit you have a viewpoint, and others may have a different one ? Part of the artifice of art is nuance, ambiguity, tension, multiplicity of possible meanings.
We don't see Bruce or Robin having sex, anyway. They sleep, or did in the early days, in the same bedroom. Like brothers, or something else. Adults don't usually sleep with their 'ward's. So what conclusion can actually definitively be drawn about their sexuality ? See ? It isn't actually so clear. Which, in my view, was by design. Part of an alternate dynamic duo universe, which carried with it, inevitably, homoerotic implications, with plausible deniability.
