Catwoman must submit to the spanking she wants and needs from Batman. Art by Juan Pablo Cortes. Characters © DC Comics Inc. Posted by the Web-Ed on 06/21/2024.
Juan Pablo Cortes is an artist making his first appearance in CSR, and he has a very striking approach to the age-old problem of depicting Batman spanking Catwoman: she wears only stockings and garters while he wears a somewhat stylized costume. Flying bats give the scene some atmosphere while her cat watches the proceedings. Catwoman's expression is one of satisfaction, reinforced by her feline trilling, "Mmmmmm". This is psychologically quite believable as strong independent (in a bad way here since she's a criminal) women need very badly to be forced to submit to a powerful man.
The OTK positioning is good as are most of the other elements except that Batman's spanking arm looks a little awkward. We've looked at some of Cortes' art on Instagram, and frankly we haven't seen anything there that approaches this one although it is certainly adequate as "Good Girl Art". We couldn't find his work anywhere else, the search being made difficult by the existence of a lot of guys named "Juan Cortes" including a fairly well-known Colombian photographer. Perhaps this was a commission.
