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.”

"He had the hots for Lois Lane and I’m pretty sure he and Wonder Woman married in some comics."

Don't you see? He was living a lie.

All that "changing in a telephone booth" (where does he suit up nowadays?) was really just a metaphor.

Niven and Pournelle wrote a short treatise about the sex life of Superman.

Ah yes, "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex".

Top Cops Stumped Over Rash of San Fran Execution-Style Murders

"Well, at first we thought it might be drug-related," Detective Dick Tracy informed our reporter from Castro Street. "Until we noticed that the backs of their heads were blown out, not in. Then we thought that maybe there was some weird suicide cult, but we could never find a gun and there were no powder burns in the victims' mouths. The one thing we noticed at every scene was a super-intense smell of chlorine, so we figure the perp must be some kind of super neat freak to clean up the bodies after shooting them. We don't know what kind of gun he was using since we've never found any bullets but it must be something powerful to have blown the tops of the victims' heads as far up the alley walls as two or three stories, like their brains were trying to make it over the roof in a single bound or something. Weird, huh? We asked Superman for help but he said he was too busy redecorating his Fortress of Solitude to lend a hand at the present time."

See that is why I don’t believe it! He changed in a phone booth NOT a men’s restroom stall.

Well ...Superman DOES have a “wide stance”....

How can Superman be gay?

He’s an alien. It’s not inconceivable that he’s actually the female of the species.

Superman? Or was it that tap dancing congressman?

[Hardraade]

So where have they put Lois Lane? Burqa brigade?

Wonder Woman

I'd like to play "3 is a sandwich" with Wonder Woman.

[Boiler Plate]

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

Superman is not a fag.

I really enjoyed my comic book collection as a kid. But if I'm a parent with young kids today, my kids get nowhere near comic books. No way.
Pray for America.

I hope Marvel and DC go out of business.

Superman and Batman are cultural icons, they like girls, period. So do the young men who make up most of the comic book consumers. Pandering to at most 5% of the population is ‘tarded.

I’m pretty sure comics already have faggy and dykey “heros” anyway.

“I’m pretty sure comics already have faggy and dykey “heros” anyway.”

Sure. But this is about destroying “the American Way”, so they would target an icon.

[Impy]

Right, no one has heard of or gives a damn about “Northstar” whom I’ve read was the first fag hero, “coming out” in 1992. He was supposed to have AIDS but the editors wouldn’t allow it. LOL.
