Dean Cain has some ideas about a really brave Superman

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 I pay little attention to comic books, which is that one of the sundry iterations of Robin, from Batman and Robin, finally came out of the closet. As Cain said, and we all must agree, "Honestly, who's really shocked about that one? I had some thoughts about that a long time ago." (In fact, Robin is now bisexual.) Those of us who grew up on the camp 1960s TV Batman always knew that Robin was a little light in the loafers, as they used to say back in the day.

And it's not just Robin. Marvel announced this past June, in honor of Pride Month, that Captain America, the onetime all-American patriot in the lead-up to and during World War II, is also gay now. Indeed, if you want to see how LGBT-obsessed superhero comics have become, check out this Daily Mail story, which has lots of pictures.

So when Superman Jr. starts smooching with a guy, Cain knows what it is: "I say they're band-wagoning[.] ... 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 have been bold and brave."

You know what?

Caving into depravities is only brave in a world where that is unpopular.

Dean is likely that kind of an interesting person as far as actors and other Hollywood personalities are concerned. I recall a few years ago reading about how he was the one who broke things off with the late Mindy McCready (they were engaged) as he became that good bit concerned about her erratic and unstable behaviour towards him and his son from a previous relationship.

Mr. Cain embodied the character of Superman.

Turning a comic book, and I mean comic book, not the more fancy and expensive, ‘graphic novel’ icon, role model, into a confused sexually nut job, fighting “social justice Melanie’s’, is shoving a YUGE kryptonite crystal in Superman’s alimentary canal, dry!!
As a Superman comic book and 1st TVshow-era kid, this whole thing resembles Metropolis City’s un-processed sewage!!!

Mindy McCready was a dumpster fire...Dean Cain was wise to run. I hate to think about the pain she suffered thru in her life. Personal degradation has its price.

With everyone now playing dress up, this was surely the next phase in the demise of Marvel and DC comics.

Captain America is gay now?

How do they explain his love relationship with Peggy Carter?

Is she a transvestite?

Gross, but sadly accurate
