The Safety Word is "Alfred"
I feel weak for posting such an obvious and overused bit, but I couldn't possibly leave this alone. I just couldn't.
To borrow a line from Dorian of Postmodernbarney:
"Subtext? What Subtext?"
Seeing Bruce Wayne tied to a chair by an underage boy in chainmail panties and elf boots while he himself is forced to wear a yellow and red spandex costume, and being told that "it is all for his own good," well, it brings back memories. ![Bruce, he doesn't want to hurt you *that* way. There are so many other, better ways for him to hurt you... Remember, the safety word is 'Alfred.'](//photos1.blogger.com/blogger/211/475/320/Bruce_and_dick_2.jpg)
I think that on the next page, a mutant banana-man wearing a rooster mask attacks them with a bullwhip made from a chain of linked sausages.
Nope, there's no subtext here.
Move along.

Hey, I had to pay for college somehow.

I starting to think that Wertham might not have been so off the mark.
