There's a new LGBTQ superhero on the block, but DC comics readers already know him well.
The latest issue of Batman: Urban Legends, a monthly anthology series, revealed that the Caped Crusader's longtime sidekick Robin, specifically the Tim Drake version of him, is bisexual.
The moment came at the end of Part 3 of the Sum of Our Parts story from writer Meghan Fitzmartin, artist Belén Ortega, colorist Alejandro Sánchez, and letterer Pat Brosseau.
In Part 1, which debuted in Batman: Urban Legends issue #4, Tim reunited with his old friend Bernard. Their dinner at Bincy's Bar and Grill was interrupted by Chaos Monster, who knocked out Tim and kidnapped Bernard to be sacrificed.
During the rescue mission of Part 3, featured in this week's Urban Legends #6, Bernard mentions to Robin that he wishes he could've finished his date with Tim, unaware that he's actually speaking to his love interest. A few pages later, Tim goes to see Bernard and things are clarified.
"Tim Drake… do you want to go on a date with me?" Bernard asks.
"Yeah… Yeah, I think I want that," Tim replies.
Tim's Robin now officially joins other canonized LGBTQ superheroes like Kate Kane (Batwoman), Bobby Drake (Iceman), Loki, Jean-Paul Beaubier (Northstar), Billy Kaplan (Wiccan) and Hulkling, and Midnighter and Apollo. Earlier this year, Marvel introduced the first gay Captain America by way of character Aaron Fischer.
Fans seem quite thrilled with this news. "It's overwhelming all the comments and love I'm receiving from you guys," Ortega tweeted on Tuesday with the rainbow flag emoji after the issue dropped. "thanks for your support on my very first series with @DCComics See you soon Tim!"
So Robin is a fag now? Looks like the left has ruined Batman.
We knew he was a knob-gobbler from the beginning.
Now they can finish corrupting all the worthless super hero movies too.
This was a Joke (not a very good joke) on SNL 25 years ago. ‘Ambiguously Gay Duo‘
The normal world has died. We are screwed.
Gives a whole new meaning to Bam Boom Pow!
Is there anything the Left hasn’t ruined?
Homosexual acts should have remained illegal everywhere.
They should again be mad3 illegal everywhere,
But as it stands a lot of people have refused to retain knowledge of the Lord and are evidencing the fruit of that rejection and this mess will not get ironed out till Christ reigns with a rod of iron as Revelation plainly says will be the case.
he was always homosexual so dating another guy isn’t any news (other than to Batman, who Robin is now two=timing)

Holly Poof Batman !!!
Amen.
Batman: It began we you noticed what I had below my bat utility belt.
Meh. When I was a little kid, I didn't even know what 'gay' WAS, and yet I knew there was something odd about those two.
The only things the Left hasn’t destroyed are those which they haven’t yet gotten to. Then again, the Democrat/Communist/Leeft is busy with “fundamentally transforming the United States of America” and even with the acquiescence (and some encouragement I should add) of irrationally frightened, irretrievably ignorant and breathtakingly cowardly American “men” and women, this is still taking a lot of the Democrat/Communist/Left’s time, y’know.
I rather liked “The Ambiguously Gay Duo”... funny stuff... especially everyone’s reactions to them!
You’re right: This isn’t news.
You can pretty much tell if someone wears his underwear outside his pants: That guy is gay. It’s a no-brainer. Look at your average “gay pride” festival. Guys wearing their underwear outside their pants.
“To the bat-cave, Robin!”
*long silence* “You’re talking about...”
“YES, I’M TALKING ABOUT THE REAL BAT CAVE!”
I’m predicting it’s gonna be kind of a drag because NOW it won’t be okay to joke about Robin being Batman’s catamite anymore. :[
Actually it was funny. No way they would air the skit today because it would be too "offensive".
