Honchos at Superman's comic book home, DC Comics, said this weekend that one of their most identifiable (but as of yet unnamed) straight characters will soon be coming out of the closet, according to a report.
--> Snip <--
DC vice president Bob Wayne likened DC's change in tune to President Obama's shift on gay marriage, explaining that DC's policy “has evolved,” the report says.

We're at Stage IV -- terminal cancer.
...mmmmmmmm could be
Dear DC,
What is the age demographic for your Comic Books?
And, does this age demographic view homosexuality in a positive, or a negative light? Is is identifying a “friend” as a homosexual viewed as a compliment, or an insult?
What do you suppose this will do to your comic’s circulation?
He’s THUPER! Thankt’s for asking!
Apologies to South Park...
A lot of gay people working at DC comics.
And these will be available in “Scratch-N-Sniff” for the San Fran market!
It has to be Batman or perhaps Jimmy olsen.
DC Comics announces that one of its most identifiable characters is going to be coming out as gay. Speculation that it will be Superman. I’m so pizzed off.
Wertham was right....
One thing I can't stand are mimicking parrots. Did these jack offs get their talking points from Obama camp?
batman.
Probably, but remember also that most artistic types are of the lib camp. So they wouldn’t need much encouragement.
Hard to say if this is activism or opportunism.
It's fvckin' disgusting any way you turn it. And as for this "homo spring", all I can say is the backlash that seems to be brewing will be visceral, sure and final.
explaining that DC’s policy “has evolved,” the report says.
Yes our species has finally evolved to the point where will no longer procreate! WTF kind of cool-aid are these people drinking?!!
I can’t say “final”. But I can say, “decisive”.
I would be so super serial pissed off if it were Superman. I have never rioted about anything but if this happened I would form a riot.
Please tell me it’s Wonder Woman.
Please tell me it’s Wonder Woman.
Please tell me it’s Wonder Woman.
Please tell me it’s Wonder Woman.
Please tell me it’s Wonder Woman.
Please tell me it’s Wonder Woman.
Please tell me it’s Wonder Woman.
Please tell me it’s Wonder Woman.
Please tell me it’s Wonder Woman.
That would explain a lot...
I’m guessing Jimmy Olsen. The actor who played him in the 1950s “Adventures of Superman”, Jack Larson, is gay. He’s still around, so they’ll probably bring him in for some promotional appearances to publicize how D.C, comics has “evolved.”
In comics, there has always been two dynamics at work. First is writers using the stories to promote an agenda based on current events (The old war comics promoted America and the American way...today it’s every feel-good liberal ideal)
Then, there is profit. Someone at DC is gambling that they can profit from this in the face of all evidence to the contrary. Or they are so ideologically driven that like the MSM, it’s ALL about the agenda.
Sell stock folks.
The only being Superman could bone without blowing them up would be Supergirl.
That would make him decidedly hetersexual.
THIS is Superman, not some fudgepacker.
Ba-da FREAKING bing!
Is D.C. Comics on the stock market? If so, I sense a “crash” coming.
There was a time that comic books were aimed at a wide demographic of American boys. Not now.
They just assume that if you are reading comics that you are a middle-aged, leftist, gay, loser living in your mom’s basement.
the shepherd directs the sheep.
Shouldn’t O-zero be FACING the red shorts?
Could it be Seaman..... whoops I mean Aqua Man. Or that fruity looking Martian Man Hunter.
Even he’s just a comic character Superman has come to be an inseparable part of Americana. Now remember that they made him renounce American citizenship/America. So being gay is just another step in destroying that part of our history/culture.
Makes perfect sense they would.
What’s up with all the gay threads?
Who else wears their underpants on the outside?
No! Not Bouncing Boy. He is I believe the FIRST Legionairre to get married. I don’t remember if she was still Triplicate Girl or had already been pared down to Duo Damsel. Based on his choice for a mate, he might have some strange proclivities, but DEFINITELY not homosexual.
The idea is to generate controversy, attention & sales for a dying hobby. So, a B-list character will work just fine (like when Marvel made Northstar gay. Who? Exactly).
The formula is really quite simple. The success, however, is never guaranteed.
didn’t they already do that with an alternate universe Spiderman?
How to kill off a franchise 101....
do they not remember “Alpha Flight”?
Even Bouncing Boy married a girl!
If Superman(the Man of Steel) turns out to be gay a lot of the comic book dialog from other characters will be “my butt hurts”
It will certainly make “faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive” have a new meaning.
It could be Robin, the boy wonder
Or Ant Man? I don't think anyone would really care.
If he married Triplicate Girl, would that make him a polygamist, or just a lucky guy?
Phew! Whatta relief!
