There is a psychological reason Batman likes to have a “Boy Wonder” Robin - but it isn't pedophilia.

Batman would never do anything to harm a child that age, no more than he would use a gun.

He saw his parents gunned down when he was a boy, and now he likes to see a boy that age take on armed men and win - to torture himself that he did nothing.

There’s none of his own species left.

Didn't he have a female cousin, or did they kill her off?

And what about the minature city in the glass bottle in the fortress of solitude?

Precisely.

What marketing genius thought this could boost sales, when homos are 2-4% of the overall population.

The truth is, most Hollywood TV and movie writers are gay, and they exercise a disproportionate ability to inject(no pun intended) their Point of view into media that is digested by all age groups.

a previously existing DC character who was previously straight and now will be "one of our most prominent gay characters."

Even a cartoon knows it's a choice to be gay or straight.

Gives the Wonderwoman/Invsible man and Supeman joke a whole new meaning.

Beat me to it! I don't know many folks who remember that classic.

I always thought Batman and Robin had a bit of a strange relationship, however, Clark Kent used to undress in phone booths when he reverted to Superman.

RE: Clark Kent used to undress in phone booths when he reverted to Superman.

But so did Spiderman and the many of the other Superheroes (e.g. Flash).

They’re all gay too?

It has to be Batman, lives by himself, has a young guy hanging around him. Also he didn’t bang Michelle Pfeiffer like a drum when she played Catwoman in the movie. That’s proof enough for me. Not Superman!

actually there are quite a few survivors - the phantom zone gang, supergirl (kissing cousin?), bottled city of Kondor just to name a few.

Interestingly while all the more recent constructions of Batman have him abhorring the use of firearms, a few of his first issues in the late 30s had him utilizing them for his own purposes.

A little diddy we used to sing while on platoon runs:

Batman and Superman got into a fight
Late one evening on a Saturday night
Superman hit Batman down to the ground
Then Batman hit him with some kryptonite
He hit him so hard he drove him insane
Now Batman’s dating Lois Lane

Based on the above information, I have to conclude it is not Batman....

Maybe there’s hope for Jimmy Olsen after all:

The Spin Doctors - Jimmy Olsen’s Blues

Well, I don’t think I can handle this
A cloudy day in Metropolis
I think I’ll talk to my analyst
I got it so bad for this little journalist
It drives me up the wall and through the roof
Lois and Clark in a telephone booth
I think I’m going out of my brain
I got it so bad for little Miss Lois Lane

[CHORUS]
Lois Lane please put me in your plan
Yeah, Lois Lane you don’t need no Superman
Come on downtown and stay with me tonight
I got a pocket full of Kryptonite
He’s leaping buildings in a single bound
I’m reading Shakespeare in my place downtown
Come on downtown and make love to me
I’m Jimmy Olsen not a ***an, you see
He’s faster than a bullet, stronger than a train
He’s the one who got lucky, got his cape
Around Miss Lois Lane
I can’t believe my dilemma is real
I’m competing with the Man of Steel

DC Comics is headquartered in New York City...they don’t seem to understand that what they see outside the office window is NOT an accurate reflection of America ‘at large’...

This would be the absolute death of Superman as a viable comic / American symbol. But what the heck, they’ve been trying to kill this off for a while.
