Superman New Cape
Warning! Spoilers for DC Pride #1 by DC Comics
In a brand new look at a heartwarming story from the upcoming DC Pride anthology from DC Comics, Superman gets a new cape that's the perfect modern upgrade for the hero. In a sneak peek at the Jon Kent-starring story, his boyfriend Jay Nakamura gives him a colorful new cape with the Pride Flag that turns out to be a fitting gift for the bisexual hero.
Jon Kent is currently Superman in the DC Comics universe, as the hero replaced his father after he went off to save alien refugees and enslaved people on Warworld. Since Kal-El's been gone, Jon has undergone a journey of self-discovery, which includes coming out as bisexual after getting into an exciting new relationship with Jay Nakamura. Kent will appear in the upcoming DC Pride anthology, where the hero will get a new cape with a special meaning related to his continually evolving identity.
Colorist Triona Tree Farrell shared her contributions to the upcoming DC Pride Anthology from DC Comics, where she contributed to a Jon Kent Superman story alongside Devin Grayson, Nick Robles, and Aditya Bidikar. The preview pages show Superman's boyfriend, Jay Nakamura, giving his partner a gift. Kent opens the present and pulls out a new cape with the Pride Flag (with LGBTTQQIAAP colors) stitched to the inside. Kent looks thrilled to get the new cape from Jay, as he shares a smile after receiving the cape from his new partner.
Everyone I did a short in the #DCPride special which has a Final Order Cutoff for Sunday. I am so jazzed to be working with Devin Grayson, @ArtofNickRobles and @adityab! Please pre-order if you can!
I have also wanted to work on a Superman comic and I'm SO happy it's this one! pic.twitter.com/NAJnqU0BI5

Jon Kent's Superman is a welcome addition to this year's DC Pride anthology from DC Comics, as the hero's coming-out story has been one of the best story arcs from the publisher this year. His relationship with Jay Nakamura has brought a much-needed male, bisexual perspective to one of DC's most recognizable faces, as his romance seems built to last. DC Pride 2022's anthology will also feature all-new stories starring Batwoman, Aquaman, Superman, Nubia, Green Lantern, Jess Chambers' Flash, Poison Ivy, Harley Queen, and the Dreamer.
The Jon Kent-starring story, "Super Pride," will feature the warm moment between the hero and his boyfriend, as the cape represents the perfect modern upgrade for the hero. Even if he never wears the Pride Flag-themed cape in action as Superman, it represents the hero like never before. Although, it would be cool to see Superman wear the colorful cape, as it would make for a landmark moment for representation in the pages of DC Comics. Readers can see Jon Kent's Superman receive the new cape in DC Pride 2022 from DC Comics, which arrives in comic book stores on May 31, 2022.

A “gay” cape. “Bisexual” hero.
They are destroying our heros, our cultural icons with the end goal of destroying our civilization.
They destroyed the Columbus statues and statues of any man who lived hundreds of years ago. They are destroying the family. They are trashing the meaning of “man” and “woman.” And now, one of my childhood heros, Superman, has become SuperLimpWrist.
The author of the article seems to be entranced in fawning admiration: “heartwarming story” “exciting new relationship” “warm moment between the hero and his boyfriend”. I’m sure he thinks it fabulous.
Remember the excitement over the “gay football player” a few years back? I don’t remember his name and don’t care to. They are trying to destroy the connection between strong/aggressive/successful and heterosexual.
Didn’t work.
This is what happens when you leave the closet door open...
Super Groomer!
Democrat scum soil whatever they touch.
Yep,
I know, Marvel is just as bad, if not worse... Definitely an opportunity for someone who just wants to write good stories with interesting characters to come in and make some waves.
This idiotic push is beyond insane, the people screaming on twitter DON’T BUY YOUR PRODUCT... do you get this? They are sub 1% who are noisy, they will clap and make some big deal when you pander, but they are not and never will be your customer base... and pandering to them alienates your ACTUAL CUSTOMER BASE....
Self destructive stupidity.
I am speechless. This is not just happening, this is planned destruction of the US.
It probably has more than one etiology.
In some cases it appears to be hereditary, at least in part, and is a disease as certainly as any other hereditary disease, e.g. hemophilia, Down's syndrome, sickle cell disease, et al.
In some cases, it results from trauma, e.g. sexual molestation in childhood, and is a disease as certainly as any resulting from stress, e.g. PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), hysterical paralysis, et al.
Another etiology is habitual homosexual activity, especially if starting at an early age, becoming habit and ultimately addiction.
Homosexuality is a reaction to injury, resulting in disfunction of the reproductive system, and is thus, by definition, is a disease.
Reclassification, wishful thinking, or anything else will not change this.
Homosexual activity appears to be different from homosexuality. It appears that most people can engage in homosexual activity under certain circumstances. It might be nature's way of releasing powerful sexual tension under such circumstances.
Holy cow, where is the damn Kryptonite, quick........
It’s the planned destruction of Western Civilization as a whole.
Still holds as true as ever and we have too many that get caught up in the weeds.
I’ve never seen ONE homosexual or lesbian that I would consider qualifies as a “super hero.” Only in their dreams.
Are the rest of the homo's lining up to get a blue steel rod shoved up their wahoo? For some reason that doesn't sound very appealing. Maybe it's just me.
So he now prefers Jimmy Olson to Lois Lane?
Give the discovery guy some time to get all this crap straightened out. I don’t expect him to be perfect, but I do expect he’ll stop most of this garbage. All of this was set in motion before the merger and there are even larger messes than this to tend to first.
It’s actually his son. So, maybe Superman Jr.
Ridiculous, either way. Disgusting.
NOTHING can be for children anymore.
Get them old retro collectibles and reprints.
The current concept of “hero” is relatively new, emerging from the Depression and Hollywood and comics.
It’s IMO always been antithetical to American culture, because it lifts up a fictional elite immeasurably better then the common man who must just follow where he’s led.
Outside of fiction we have sports heroes who play games and jump around as if sport made one better than people who actually produce worth, and similarly actors/resses whose job is professionally lying on camera, who also pretend that failing at being themselves makes them more equal than everyone.
F “heroes” and up with the regular folk.
