When we first created this page way back when, we didn't have a decent scanner, so we used a very simple digital camera instead. Deciding it was time to revamp the picture, we were going to use a modern scanner on the original Brave and the Bold comic when we remembered that DC had reprinted it ten years later in Super-Team Family, and we also had that issue in our collection, so in the interest of completeness we decided to scan that one instead. Notice that the book was recolored, so Marcia's dress is white instead of green and the photographer's suit is olive-green instead of orange-brown. Why was it recolored? After ten years, the colored reproductions of the original art would not have been in DC's files, and the new colorist would not have known what the original colors were unless he turned to DC's archived copy of the printed book. In our view, Marcia looks at least as good getting spanked in white as she did in green.

Finally, we recently chanced upon an uncolored version, so we're including that as well. The source is unidentified, but it may be a scan of the original art. It's really fun looking at all these, isn't it? This is the best spanking Batman ever gave in an actual comic book. Catwoman was spanked once (by Alfred, the butler!) but it occurred off-screen, dagnabbit!

One more, found at Bat-Blog.com: J. R. Williams altered and recolored the original, adding the Stan Lee-style "SPANK!" sound effect. Nice work, accentuating the characteristics that have made one of the more popular comic book spanking panels. That so many artists have had a go at this one testifies to how good the raw spanking material is here. In fact, we think it's our personal favorite among superhero spankings that actually took place in a comic book.

More updates Jan. 2011: we realized we'd never posted this picture-within-a-panel, where Bruce sees the photograph of himself spanking Marcia, so here it is:

J. R. Williams' version.

Then, we realized we never did post a better-quality scan of the original, so here it is in all its glory:

Next, an unknown artist took the uncolored art and re-interpreted it as the spanking of Barbara Gordon (possibly suggested by the fact that she has red hair like Marcia's!). He added a boot and a Batgirl-style "shark fin" glove, and subtracted all her other clothes! With her bottom now bared, he also arched the back a little more, giving Batman a superb target. An added caption and, er, slightly altered dialogue suggests a meaning that would not have made it past the Comics Code Authority in 1966. We think this version is far sexier than the original.

That's some imagination our unknown artist has - fine, sexy work! Batman is © DC Comics Inc.

Finally, we couldn't resist trying to color that last version ourselves because we find color far more erotic than black & white. We have no artistic training or skill, and it shows - ideally, the colorist should be an artist. But we did have some fun, and we also did two alternate versions, one with blushing cheeks and one with the famous Bat-symbol stamped in a strategic location.

Crappy coloring by the Web-Ed.

Batgirl's blushing cheeks.

We always thought that Batgirl secretly desired Batman's Bat-Symbol to be stamped on her anatomy in a very personal location. This is our conception of what it would look like if Batman used his Bat-Paddle (with ink-coated raised rubber Bat-Stamp) to oblige her. We must admit that our imagination is truly perverse - and we love it!

08/30/2024 Update: We have previously seen how this great spanking inspired independent artists to do their own variations upon it, and we have collected nine more versions that we'll see now. The first eight of them all came from Harry (Solicitus) at Vanilla Spanking.

Texas Jim took our crappily-colored Batman (above) and substituted Catwoman for Marcia Monroe.

Michael Zug substitutes a female Robin for Marcia Monroe.

Pauly M. Everett altered the expressions and the coloring of Win Mortimer's original.

Pedro Rodriquez makes some odd alterations - we're not sure whom he's substituting for Marcia Monroe.

Len Komanac basically redrew the entire scene. We think the spankee is an unmasked Barbara Gordon Batgirl.

Kay Mcr(?) turns the panel into the schoolroom doodle of a bored student. We agree with the grade - A+ - but does that "See me" imply the female doodler is to be spanked herself?

Talia al-Ghul may be the spankee that Danijl Babic (the name in Harry's file, although the signature reads "Vincent") substituted for Marcia Monroe in this one.

Sterlingod took the same approach as Pauly M. Everett above and altered the expressions and coloring. Marcia's eyes are now opened (we like closed eyes as they express the sting the spankee feels as a swat is applied) and Batman's cape and cowl are now a lovely shade of aquamarine - a nice color, but would Batman wear it?

A two-swat animated spanking with Batgirl once again taken OTK in place of Marcia Monroe. How embarrassing for poor Batgirl to be spanked bare-bottom on a public street, and with a photographer taking a picture! Nice job by an unknown artist possibly named "Iaia Skater".
