Camera, part 1: Totally Fag, Dude

I'm watching a pornographic video that does absolutely nothing for me in terms of creating sexual arousal.  It is a parody video, sort of, and these normally don't arouse me, but this one is special.  I have watched one scene from the Batman and Robin gay porn parody, and, as I am not homosexual, it was almost doubly asexual for me, but this one is at another level.  This scene depicts Harley Quinn wearing a strap on dildo and anally penetrating Robin.  There is a similar video, this one somewhat more plot-driven, that involved Harley Quinn also with possibly the same strap on dildo, but possibly a different one, anally penetrating Superman.  That one has Harley inform Superman, that, if he allows her to do this, she will tell him where Batman is located.  The Robin video has no such narrative direction.  Harley Quinn (and it's the same actress in both videos), injects Robin with something that, she says, will make him "the biggest slut in Gotham."  Her delivery of this line is odd.  Yes, I realize that pornography is, among other thing, very well known for having poor acting, unconvincing line delivery and all that sort of thing, but this was different.  She seemed, for the most part, really committed to her character.  When she delivered the line she said "This will make you the biggest slut in…Gotham."  It was a weird, oddly long pause between "in" and "Gotham."  It took me out of it for a moment, made me aware I was watching a film rather than entering a reality, always a big no-no in cinema, regardless of if it is an Oscar-worthy drama or a video about a mentally ill doctor in clown makeup anally penetrating a trusty sidekick.  It made me wonder if the actress forgot for a moment that the scene takes place in Gotham.  This took away any enjoyment I might have had as a viewer.  Everybody, even people who make a real effort to know nothing about comic books, knows that Batman lives in Gotham City.  How could she not?  I then think about it more.  Perhaps she didn't forget.  Perhaps this was a character choice.  Maybe Harley Quinn has various syringes, each containing a different level of slut creation.  Maybe Harley Quinn, in her excitement, forgot which one this was.  She has one to make someone the biggest slut in Gotham, one to make him the biggest slut in America, one to make him the biggest slut on New Earth, and so forth.
