This Batman cover looks like someone's subconcious splattered all over the page (Batman #504, volume 1)

Since I literally stayed up past my bedtime last night complaining about how people flavor information before displaying it, I'll play this one straight, and ask you to glance/look at this cover and tell me the first thing that you see...

Catwoman and AzBat...in an odd pose

That's from the first volume of Batman, issue 504 (link goes to Comixology's single issue version, which is where I got the cover image from). It is the middle of the KnightQuest story-arc (part of the broader KnightFall story-arc, which is about Bruce Wayne being replaced as Batman by Jean Paul Valley, aka Azrael (LGT Wikipedia)). It is part of AzBat's initial run-ins with Catwoman, and is supposed to be Catwoman holding AzBat down, but hell if it doesn't look like someone's subconscious splashed out all over the page.

Doesn't help that AzBat's first sighting of Catwoman led to him having real kinky wet dreams about her, something he brings up a number of times. Then she emasculates him as being an undersexed pretender. By the way, just in case you glanced at the cover and are confused, that's his arms...his plump, whippable arms.
