It’s so interesting how language and innuendo has changed over the years. This was completely harmless when published (?), but now its full of sexual suggestion.
I think there was definitely sexual tension when this was first done. I just don’t think the term "licked" would have immediately sent the typical reader to such a naughty place. It was a common term for being beaten and with obscenity less common (at least in written form) was much further out of mind. But a kid was thinking about holding the smooth leg of a pretty lady. Oh, yes he was.

Batman’s got himself some pussy…cat.
Riiiiiight! Gotta check that …….bandage
at last!
At first I thought it said "bondage"…then I realised that was the least of it’s problems.
Don’t take anything off for that guy, Cat! That’s actually just Half-Assed Scribble on the Chest Man! He just wears the outfit to get ladies!
Oh my O_O
Whenever someone says "Oh, my", I hear George Takei saying it in my head.
Got to remember that…Shoe Salesman or Dark Knight to look up a woman’s skirt…..
This should squelch those gay rumors.
very basic instinct
I remember there’s also some early Catwoman panel where Batman threatens her with the line "…or papa spank!"
@ActualButt-That’s the exact voice I try to say it in. Freaky.
Apparently Batman had a foot fetish.
This is why I *love* Batman and Catwoman
Awww Yeah Licked!
uh, ummm, sorry…
Awww Yeah Titans!
Holy Inappropriate Touching Batman!
ummmmmmmmmmmm
yeah
@Prax-Why did you have to say that? Now all I’m going to picture when Bruce gets with a girl is him worshiping her toes. Oh so wrong.
Man, I love Batman.
That may be the sexiest Batman panel ever.

@vadamowens: I don’t think the was harmless when it was written. It was supposed to be full of sexual tension – just look at the panel!
Foot fetishes have been well documented in the past.
It’s in my new video series: ‘TNC’s Sexual History’.
The title is a work in progress…
If lovin’ shoes is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
that’s coming to be a very short video series. Sad too
"going to be" what a freudian slip !
"do you have to hold my leg that high above your head…just to check my ankle wound?"
Who’s we?
Don’t tell me Robin is somewhere off panel watching all this.
@gaffergamgee: Actually, he is…
And this is why the comics code was established….
you’d think they wouldn’t have to shout so much, being that they’re so close.
did periods exist when this was released?
@FACE: Batman sure hopes they didn’t. Eh? Eh?
So her ankle is hurting, YET she’s wearing high heels….YEAHOK

@Prax That’s not Batman. It’s Quentin Tarantino.
@Jestr Oh, that made my night. If only Uma Thurman were Catwoman your analogy would be complete.
@chrisequalsgreat-I see what you did there.
@drakedangerz: you see what he was referring to a woman’s menstrual cycle… also referred to as "Arsenal’s playing at home"
Green Arrow would have avoided the dialogue and went right for the dress
You know, Cat, my father was a doctor . . .
"Bandages", in reference to female genetalia, predates "muff" by several decades.
