Holy sexism, Batman!

A series of superhero T-shirts are being blasted for sending female fans the wrong message.

One of them, a grey top being sold in Walmart’s junior’s section, says “Training to be Batman’s wife” in bold, pink letters.

She was terrific. Loved the show but don’t know if I actually remember a single one.

As a girl who liked that, if I wanted to pretend to be Batman himself, I would simply move on and buy the actual Batman shirt or costume.

“Training to be thin enough, pretty enough for the likes of Bruce Wayne? Or perhaps training on how to cook and clean for the caped crusader?” the post reads.

How about learning to not spill a secret (something Valerie Plame couldn't keep to herself when dating).

Can I get a “I only date women who don’t kill their kids” t-shirt?

I’m not sure why Batman needs a woman to cook and clean for him. Thats what Alfred is for.

Yup, fond, fond mammar, er, MEMORIES of that.

Saw an interview once with Lyle Wagoner/Col. Trevor about Linda Carter showing up to shoot her first scene in the costume. I think he was drunk during the interview, basically said that all the guys’ jaws hit the floor at seeing the most massive (insert body part identifier here) in Hollywood.
