Batman's gonna pet this pussy (cue audience "booooo")
The idea of comic books and adult entertainment is as old as the medium itself. Do you think that your favorite superheroes were innocent back then? Well, maybe after the 1950s they were for a while, but in the early days, there was a lot of kinkiness hidden in the most subtle contexts of numerous titles…one that immediatley comes to mind is Wonder Woman under William Moulton Marston and her legendary penchant for bondage and domination. And then there’s the art of Greg Land, whom I did not notice before until I read this article that Land has a dirty, dirty…pencil. But that’s another subject for another blog.
On May 10, it was announced the one of the biggest distributors of adult entertainment, Vivid, has launched a superhero pornographic imprint called Vivid-Superhero and they are looking specifically at the stable of heroes that populate the universes of Marvel and DC, but they are also looking at the non Marvel/DC character the Green Hornet for parody purposes.
“The parodies under this new imprint will pay tribute to the world’s most popular comic heroes,” said Steven Hirsch, Founder/Co-chairman of Vivid. “[Lead Director] Axel [Braun] already started pre-production on a parody of Superman, which will be followed by those of The Green Hornet, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Thor, and The Incredible Hulk. We made the decision to create the imprint after working with Axel on “Batman XXX: A Porn Parody“, an Axel Braun Productions movie to be distributed by Vivid. Axel truly did an amazing job with it, and we agreed that together we could mine the really rich treasure of superheroes and have a lot of fun doing it”
Previously there was a notable Spider-Man porn parody in the form of the softcore, Cinemax feature “Spiderbabe”, starring Misty Mundae in the title role (that had so-so production values and a humorous switch on the Raimi plot), but this is the first time that a large adult company has decided to take on some of the big names from the big two of Marvel and DC. Out the gate first, as mentioned in the above press release, is “Batman XXX”, of which there have been two trailers released so far, and, from what I can tell, Vivid definitely has spared no expense in this venture.
One of the first things I noticed in the trailer (there are two, by the way, both posted at the bottom of this article) is that this is probably one of the most faithful parodies I’ve ever seen. From the outset of the first trailer, it shows that Vivid did not pussyfoot around when it came to creating the look and feel of the Adam West 1966 Batman television show. There is a rumor (unsubstantiated as of yet) that some of the original costume designers from the show did work on this parody and it shows in the below picture of Evan Stone as the Riddler…if he’ll even be called that. Interestingly enough, while Vivid was able to get the rights to likenesses for use in this parody, this did not extend to the famous iconography of Batman (portrayed by Dale Dabone) and Robin (brilliantly cast James Deen) who are now sporting XXX’s and X’s in place of their famous logos.
Riddle me this, riddle me that: What weighs 500 pounds and flies?
Also starring Tori Black, Lexi Belle, and porn legend Randy Spears channeling Cesare Romero as the Joker, the parody also looks to be adding the original 1966 Batmobile along with the famous “red phone” , wall gags, and….well, you’ll just have to check out the trailers for good measure.
Both are safe for work, by the way. Sit back and do the Batusi while you’re at it.
