Did you know? In Catwoman's very first appearance, Batman manhandles her, scrubs the makeup off her face, and threatens to paddle her bottom.

I mean, yikes..?
I first shared that at !comicstripedits@lemmy.world, where we take classic comics and edit them in to ridiculous new shizzle. I really did believe it was someone's edit, at first, but NOPE-- it turned out to be almost impossibly, improbably authentic.
More on the whole affair here, including additional pages:

Bottom line? There's never been a proper explanation, body of behavior (on Batman's part) or even cultural context to explain why he blurted out "quiet, or papa spank!"
So, another mystery for the ages, I suppose...
Why did they alter the image to have more fingers?
I will never understand worthless AI Sloppers.
Doesn't appear to be AI. May still be image manipulation, but if so, it's done by DC.
See page #180 from "The Golden Age Batman Volume 1":
Zooming in on your original and the current reprint, I see what's going on, it's a coloring error on the left and right most "fingers", not an image manipulation.
Lol, I love how he's going after OP for posting "AI slop" when it's literally not even, and hasn't said a word about your proof.
I think it is intended to convey movement, showing bats is rubbing off the makeup.
I'm not convinced it's a coloring error. It looks like the pinky finger is duplicated, as evidenced by the two heavier outlines, to indicate motion. Still not AI though.
Edit: I see the coloring error in the comment you were replying to. Whoops.
That's like 14 panels you're quoting.
Where's this 1940 comics mishap happening, exactly?
Fuck you, slop.
It's literally not though
