Was bothered when Black Canary came out as bisexual. But then she's only the daughter of my Black Canary, who is still straight.
Catwoman has also been recently proclaimed a bisexual.
Isn’t it rather politically incorrect of DC to adopt the stereotype that all strong women characters must be part lesbian?
That's where they get their powers.
Greg Rucka is obsessed with lesbians. Pretty much every female comics character he writes for becomes a lesbian.
Is this supposed to surprise me? I mean, I didn’t even blink. It was more of, hey Mr. Obvious, WTH cares, outside of the elite nerdy fanboys and fangirls?
As far as I know, putting serious sexual themes on to goofy cartoon characters is stupid. Only a relatively tiny group of fanboys keeps the biggest comic book superhero comic books afloat. Compare Superman selling under 100K copies per month (averaging both his titles) now to selling over 1 million a month 40 years ago. Other characters have had a similar fall.
