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 negatives weren’t processed that way until about a decade later. When the color version finally debuted, my 9-year-old self was mercifully driven to my grandfather’s house — we didn’t have color TV yet — so I could witness in wide-eyed wonder the Man of Steel’s bright red cape flapping in the wind against a vivid blue sky.
The big-budget films began arriving in 1978 with Christopher Reeve impressively embodying the dual role of Clark Kent and Superman. But I was disappointed in the second film when Superman and Lois Lane were shown waking up in bed after consummating their relationship. That would have been fine had it been James Bond, that roguish womanizer as portrayed by Sean Connery or Roger Moore. It was part of Bond’s character. But Superman?
Superman and other superheroes of my youth, both male and female, were targeted to kids and devoted to thwarting evil. Their sex lives were irrelevant. The fact that Lois Lane was Superman’s girlfriend was understood, but that was as far as it went. If the pair kissed, it was usually in a dream sequence with Lois pining for her wedding day.
Today, our graphic and sexualized society demands more,

At least since BiXiden, there’s no Truth, no Justice and no more American Way.
Like an old guy told me when I was young. There ain’t no such thing as bisexual. Either you… Or you don’t
What his partner should never say: “Superman, jerk it off!”
Destroy everything. Pervert everyone. Bring this nation and morals down. All to further the communist agenda. These freaks would then be the first to get murdered. They just don’t get that part.
I want to see Superman cornhole Pete Boot-edge-edge.
Superman’s costume has the zipper in the rear of the trunks. Yuck.
Up, up and away, Pete!
Absolutely disgusting.
This kind of garbage is why I do NOT relish the new movies of superheroes. It’s all about titillating adults who can’t let go of the childish days. And I mean as opposed to child-like.
Nevermind the endless agenda pushing with diverse casts and so on.
I kind of agree about Superman II. Even back then I wasn’t sure if it was ok. I thought they got married. But in reality maybe they didn’t.
But the original Superman movie will never be equaled, either in quality, innocence or awe.
Like a bottle rocket.
Filth and perversity.
Louis Lane
From now on will be known as the Man of Steal ( because he is a turd burglar )
By day, he’s the absentee secretary of transportation, Peter Buttplug. During non-working hours (24/7), he’s Supertrans, a gender-fluid sodomizer and societal norm destroyer!
“More powerful than a triple-ribbed condom. Able to leap orgies with a single bound. It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Supertrans!”
Sodomy is the American way? Did Charlie Kirk write this?
It's time -- it's long past time -- to grow up and move on. There are good reasons why adults didn't use to care about comic books.

Superman can only have sex with another Superbeing, because his Superstrength would squish a mere earthling to death, so of course he wasn't having sex.
I stopped reading comic books when I was about 12 years old. Maybe reading real books, real literature, in middle school converted me, and I have never looked back. When I was reading about Superman and other super-heroes, it never occurred to me to think about their sexuality. I didn’t think about anyone’s sexuality, including my own. I had long liked girls, but I didn’t know why. I just did. It wasn’t until much later in life that I found out about the wonderful diversity of human sexual expression, and it has yet to interest me much.
As far as bi-Superman and other sexual minorities among comic book characters are concerned — if I had pre-adolescent children I could influence, I would steer them toward reading that is more wholesome, uplifting, and a better use of their time. For those who are older than twelve, I would say grow up and start reading like a grown-up. Let the comic book heroes die.
That isn’t THE Superman, that is his and Lois Lane’s son (Jonathan Kent, named after Clark’s Earth ‘father’). DC wants to ruin their characters just as Marvel is doing with a chinese Hulk and hispanic Spider-Man. Sad but we have bigger fish to fry. Even though ‘conservatives’ in the UK would be left of center here they are still a target for the global left. I read an article over at GatewayPundit about one, “UPDATE: Conservative British MP Sir David Amess Stabbed to Death in Church by 25-Year-Old Somalian National”, so give that a look. And the Somali is a muslim but MSM is trying to hide that. Turns out that David was a big supporter of illegal aliens so he kind of got a taste of karma, just as DC and Marvel are about to as the comic book market is collapsing in on itself.
Low talent people prove what they are by destroying what they did not create rather than creating their own ***tty thing and having no customers for it. The left ruins everything that they touch, so don’t let one of them touch you.
