Questionable Batman and Robin panels

A couple of months ago, I got a Batman and Robin comic from the 70s that reprinted stories from the 40s and 50s. For reasons that should be apparent, one of the panels caught my eye. I meant to post a scan of it, but never got around to it. I had forgotten about it until I stumbled on this boingboing.net link to other questionable B&R panels here: http://www.boingboing.net/2008/07/28/great-batman-panels.html

Here's a scan from my comic:

Odd dialogue, no? boingboing calls it homophilic, but given Robin's age, I call it pedophilic. I'm fine with the former, uncomfortable with the latter. If this dialogue had taken place between Batman and the Flash, for instance, it wouldn't seem so wrong. I have since been reading Batman though a different lens as it were.

I should note that I can vouch for the veracity of my scan. I have no idea if the others on boingboing are digitally altered.
