I'm unable to get down with the idea that there is no middle-ground between enjoyable sex and rape. I think, certainly, the sex scene between Catwoman and Batman in that issue was questionable, but isn't that the point? It wasn't supposed to be a sex scene between two people in a healthy relationship, like Ollie and Dinah or other couples. At this point, they're two strangers who prowl the night, and Batman knows that Catwoman's fetishizing him and using him to take out her aggression, and he doesn't like it, but he can't help himself around her. The fact that Selina doesn't care about his hesitation certainly casts an uncomfortable light on her, which I thought was a reflection of her state of mind.

A lot of people have complicated sex lives and/or relationships, and a lot of them take some seriously messed up turns before they get to a place that's comfortable enough to be called healthy. I think at this point it's well established that despite their measures of heroism, both Selina and Bruce are somewhat dysfunctional people, and I think it's perfectly fair to try to show a relationship between them that's as such. I never saw the Bat/Cat relationship as a perfect one, anyway, with all the their chasing each other around, both literally and romantically.

I guess it seems odd to me that they've done questionable things to each other emotionally that shows their dysfunction with relatively no uproar, but once it crosses over to physical affection, it's too squick. I guess I just don't view sexuality in that way. I saw it as an extension of the games they've always played with each other.
