Makes sense. He’s got the build, the fashion sense, and just maybe the gaydar-pinging facial structure. And yet — no one’s sure yet that he’s the one who’s coming out. All we know is that it’s a male, that it’ll happen next month, and that he’s “one of the major iconic DC characters.” Is there something you’d like to tell us, Batman? Actually, no need: We already know. So which one is it? The folks at DC Comics aren’t saying, but they do say it’s the latest effort to make sure their comics keep up with the times. Last September, DC Comics relaunched its entire line of comic books to feature an updated look and a new lineup of LGBT superheroes: including Voodoo, an African American bisexual woman and Batwoman, an open lesbian… “DC and (archrival) Marvel are recognizing that there is an LGBT audience that has been reading their comics for years,” said Matt Kane, associate director of entertainment and media for GLAAD. “When creating these fictional worlds it’s important to show the full diversity.” Aside from making good business sense, Kane said younger readers are perfectly comfortable with gay characters and expect to see their peers represented.

“He also doesn’t exist, so how can this matter?”
It matters because Superman is a role model to some kids.
Will Superman be leaping out of a closet instead of a phone booth?
Does Supermans sexuality really matter to kids?
Yes, especially to transgendered five-year-olds.
It's the only thing the militant gays will accept, and that's probably only temporary. There's something messed up in their brains that keeps them from having any sense of "enough".
???
This is what we call a “desperate ploy.” Used to be that DC (a Time-Warner company) thought it was a foregone conclusion that they’d eventually buy out their competition at Marvel. In one fell swoop, they would own a virtual monopoly on the comic book market.
All they had to do was bide their time and produce at least one “stunt” book a year (Superman’s dead, Superman’s alive, supporting character Sue Digby raped and murdered) that outsold Marvel for their corporate bosses, coast along with their outdated (majority of 1930’s to 1960’s vintage) characters, focus on publishing art-house trash under their Vertigo label. (try, just try even reading through descriptions of any Vertigo title on Amazon) twiddle their thumbs and wait for the eventual Marvel buyout.
Except that it never happened. With the Disney buyout of Marvel, DC has been pulling more “stunts” like this “which character is gay?” to artificially boost sales. When their recent retail toy line was dropped by Mattel due to low sales, they even tried to put a positive spin on it “Now, we’re doing our own exclusive, limited edition line of toys”. Sadly, no surprise here, folks.
DC Comics has a deathwish?
It’s gotta be Wonder Woman.
I mean, look; her creator had an interest in Domination/submission and bondage, for heaven’s sake. And he admitted it. When you think about it, WW is kinda kinky. Has the Lasso of Truth to tie people up, comes from an island made up of only women........hmmm.
Like I said on another thread on the topic, I could be wrong, and maybe WW is just a dominatrix, but I still think there’s a strong lesbian undercurrent to her character.
You honestly think this matters to that kid? There’s lots of sports and media stars that are gay, but it seems that the only people this seems to bother, are the parents.
What kid doesn't want to be the first on his block to carry around a big stack of ‘Fag Mags’?
What a great business model, adopt the queer agenda and transform your sales into 2% of their former number. How could they lose?
Remember when they changed 'truth, justice, and the American way' to 'truth, justice, and all that other stuff' in 'Superman Returns'. That honked off a LOT of people, and the movie didn't do as well as expected at the box office. Of course, that movie just reeked of sodomite (Singer, Spacey, Routh).
Just ask J. C. Penney's... :-)
Your post makes perfect sense, but word throughout the industry is that this character exposed as a queer will be a male. Well, sort of...
This is criminal. A queer recruitment effort directed at young kids. Pretty disgusting.
I guess that explains his fondness for, and frequent handling of, those phallic kryptonian crystals.
Message to readers? DC and Marvel aren't comfortable with their characters being involved in 'traditional marriage', but it's all hands on deck for the sodomite lifestyle.
