Truth, justice and the American way? It includes room for a bisexual Superman. (Hurl alert)

When the news broke that Superman is coming out as bisexual, it became a trending topic on Twitter, which is not how I typically determine whether something is important. To
me, it was important because, like millions of Silver Age comic book kids growing up with Superman in the 1960s, I feel a sense of ownership. Back then, my devotion extended beyond the comic books to include the daily reruns of the syndicated TV show, “Adventures of Superman,” starring George Reeves. The producers had the foresight to film the last four seasons of this 1950s classic in color, but the...

Superman's transition from a patriotic paladin into a champion for left-wing causes is far more profound than his newfound queerness.Superman came out as bisexual this week. Congrats?On
Monday, the series publisher revealed the son of Lois Lane and Clark Kent, Jon, who has launched his own career as Superman, will strike up a romantic relationship with a male companion next issue in November. Rather than pair the chiseled dark-haired flying knight with a comic book version of James Bond, Jon Kent will fall in love with a pink-haired journalist named Jay Nakamura.Superman comes out as bisexual; 'not a gimmick,' writer...

From the Actor Who Played Superman - Dean Cain: Making Superman Bisexual Isn't 'Bold or Brave'

| 10/13/2021 | Matt Margolis
Dean Cain, the actor who portrayed Superman in the 1990s TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman alongside Teri Hatcher, dismissed the new iteration of Superman. He argued that DC Comics making Superman bisexual isn’t “bold or brave” like it’s being promoted as, but instead is just a case
of “bandwagoning.” “They said it’s a bold new direction, I say they’re bandwagoning,” Cain said. “You know, Robin just came out as bi […] honestly, who’s really shocked about that one? The new Captain America is gay. My daughter in [the TV series] ‘Supergirl,’ where I played the...

Dean Cain, who played Superman in the 1990s series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman — and played him very well, I might add — appeared on Fox & Friends to express his disdain for DC Comics' announcement that Clark Kent's and Lois Lane's son, who is the "new" Superman,
is bisexual and will have an affair with a "hacktivist" while fighting climate change and defending illegal aliens. Cain made the excellent point that this storyline isn't fresh and bold; it's hackneyed, boring, and singularly lacking in bravery. First, Cain pointed out something that I had missed since...

Dean Cain Slams Superman Coming Out as Bisexual: “It Isn’t Bold or Brave”

Former Superman actor Dean Cain has criticized DC Comics’ decision to have the current Superman come out as bisexual. […] “They said it’s a bold new direction; I say they’re bandwagoning,” the 55-year-old actor told Fox & Friends on Tuesday. “Robin just came out as bi — who’s really shocked about that
one? The new Captain America is gay. My daughter in [The CW series] Supergirl, where I played the father, was gay. So I don’t think it’s bold or brave or some crazy new direction. If they had done this 20 years ago, perhaps that would be bold or...

will be it.Jonathan, who will be known by his metrosexual nom de guerre “Jon,” is not your daddy’s Man of Steel. No doubt because making steel causes pollution and other evils. Perhaps DC Comics could rename Superman “Man of Jello,” which would be much more appropriate and far...

We’re witnessing the continued relentless push to normalize the LGBTQ+ agenda. If
you watched Seinfeld in the 1990s, you remember the characters’ saying “Not that there’s anything wrong with that” every time the subject of homosexuality came up. I’m libertarian enough to believe that, whether it’s nature or nurture, some people prefer their own sex. What I am not okay with is the left’s relentless efforts to get children to embrace non-normative sexual behaviors. The Obama administration greenlighted these efforts and they’ve been bearing fruit for 13 years. The most recent example is that DC Comics, which owns the Superman...

It’s a brand new day for the man of steel. Continuing
a recent trend of comic book characters coming out as LGBTQ, Superman is now confirmed to be bisexual and on the fight for global social issues, according to the DC team behind the character, who spoke to IGN. This news is not for the traditional iteration of Clark Kent, but instead his 17-year-old son, Jon, who has taken up his father’s mantle. “It is a pretty big deal doing it with Jon Kent as Superman … I hope this kind of thing will not be seen as a big...

Up, up and out of the closet! The
new Superman, Jonathan Kent — who is the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane — will soon begin a romantic relationship with a male friend, DC Comics announced Monday. That same-sex relationship is just one of the ways that Jonathan Kent, who goes by Jon, is proving to be a different Superman than his famous father. Since his new series, Superman: Son of Kal-El, began in July, Jon has combated wildfires caused by climate change, thwarted a high school shooting and protested the deportation of refugees in Metropolis. “The idea of...

‘Superman,’ ‘Lethal Weapon’ director Richard Donner dies

| 7/5/21 | LINDSEY BAHR
Filmmaker Richard Donner, who helped create the modern superhero blockbuster with 1978’s “Superman” and mastered the buddy comedy with the “Lethal Weapon” franchise, has died. He
was 91. Donner died Monday in Los Angeles, his family said through a spokesperson. Donner gained fame with his first feature, 1976’s “The Omen.” A then-unheard-of offer followed: $1 million to direct 1978’s “Superman.” Donner channeled his love of the character into making the film, repeatedly facing off with producers over the need for special effects that would convince the audience that a superhero could really fly. In the title role, Donner cast Christopher...

DC'S BLACK SUPERMAN MOVIE IS REPEATING A CLASSIC J.J. ABRAMS MISTAKE
|
| |
Inverse ^
But all we can do right now about this Black Superman movie is guess. We
don’t know who the Black Superman will be. By keeping his “identity” unknown, as Abrams coyly did with Khan, we cannot yet have a healthy conversation about race and the still-dominant superhero media. I would love to see a Black Clark Kent. By changing the skin of Clark, who for so long has been an avatar for humility, kindness, and truth-seeking as an idealistic reporter, our baked-in notions about what those attributes look like would be challenged. We might reconsider what it means to let...

Warner Bros. Is Searching for a Black Director and Black Actor to Lead the Next Superman Movie

The next Superman movie will look wildly different from anything that’s come before. We
learned in February that Warner Bros. had hired acclaimed author and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates to write the screenplay for a new Superman movie with J.J. Abrams producing. Rumors also swirled at the time that this planned film would introduce a new Superman – a Black Superman. That is indeed what Warner Bros. is planning, as a new report over at THR takes a look inside what’s on deck for this DC reboot. The plan is to introduce the world to a Black Superman, and Warner Bros....

WHY IT’S A CONSERVATIVE FILM: When Ron and I covered Civil War, I kicked off the political section by pointing out just how appropriate it was for BvS and Civil War to come out during the 2016 Primary Season. Even Amy Adams (who vehemently makes it a point to shy away from
getting political) noted how today’s politics seem to parallel those kinds of fights. (That’s all she said, of course—she quickly pled for the interviewer to not push her any further on it.) Again, the only real clashes at the time happened on the Republican side—particularly between Trump and...

Vladimir Nabokov's Superman poem published for the first time

| 3/4/21 | Alison Flood
A lost poem by Vladimir Nabokov, written from the perspective of Superman as he laments the impossibility of having children with Lois Lane, has been published for the first time. The
Man of To-morrow’s Lament appears in this week’s Times Literary Supplement. In it, Nabokov, whose son loved the Superman comics, writes in the voice of the Man of Steel. He imagines the hero walking through a city park with Lois, forced to wear his glasses because “otherwise, / when I caress her with my super-eyes, / her lungs and liver are too plainly seen / throbbing”.

A premature baby the size of a Superman action figure has made a miraculous recovery—and now celebrates every milestone with his sidekick by his side. Logan
Ray was born at 23 weeks gestation, weighing just 1.5 pounds, the same height as a tiny 12 inch Superman figure. Doctors told his parents to prepare for the worst, but just like his new hero toy, little Logan was a fighter. And with each miracle week that passed, the preemie grew and grew until, after 105 days at Randall Children’s Hospital in Portland, Oregon, he got to go home. His mom Val, 34,...

right now in Wisconsin… he is absolutely beginning to slow down… Beginning to lean on the podium… And with the fatigue that he is sure to encounter, is beginning to slur a word here and there. My friends… President Trump is not Superman… He is scheduled for 13 more rallies between...

President Trump considered ripping off his dress shirt to reveal a Superman T-shirt when he was released from the hospital after being treated for the coronavirus, according to a report. The
president initially weighed acting frail when discharged from Walter Reed National Medical Center last Monday and then revealing the Superman shirt as a sign of strength but decided against going through with the stunt, the New York Times reported on Saturday.
