Want to make a fortune? Publish underground comics for boys. They will include manly violence, patriotism, and guidelines for how to "flush your Ritalin" and hide the comics from liberal school teachers.

Talk about an underground, anti-establishment hit!

You've seen this one, right...? :)

"The Times piece recaps the sometimes bumpy roads comic books have taken towards diversity - including DC's 1998 series The New Guardians, "

(snip)

Hey New York Times? Let me let you in on a little secret. "The New Guardians" (which was from 1988, BTW) was a horrible trainwreck of a series that most comic book fans consider to be slightly less noteworthy than stuff like "NFL Superpro." If you're going to cite something with homosexual superheroes in it, cite "Watchmen" or "Astro City", rather than a series that had 3 out of eight members of the team infected with the AIDS virus before the end of the first issue. (shakes head)

The article, entitled "Straight (and Not) Out of the Comics: At DC and Marvel Comics, new heroes are gay, black, Asian and Hispanic. Get used to it," is a full- page feature on page 25 of the Sunday Arts & Leisure section on Marvel and DC’s emphasis on increasing the diversity of their respective character libraries over the past months to year-plus

Well, if they want to increase diversity then get some new super gender questioning characters created than can change gender and orientation with a wink or click of ruby red slippers RATHER than attempting to change established normally "oriented" and normally "gendered" characters...

P.S. Where is the "Ex-Gay" super hero -arch nemesis of the GLSEN disordered underage sex advocacy ring?

"THIS is Moonbatwoman..."

Geez, now I wll have nightmares

P.S. Where is the "Ex-Gay" super hero

I always thought Aquaman was kinda gay. Maybe we can bring him back around. Or that little guy Adam, really little guys are often gay, like Gary Coleman.

Who cares about Batwoman? Especially when Batman has Wonder Woman? :P

And let's not forget Linda Carter...

Just for those who like to drool.

..."Batwoman, Kathy Kane, who, according to the article: “…is a wealthy (socialite), buxom lipstick lesbian who has a history with Renee Montoya, an ex-police detective who has a starring role in 52."

Gee, that's going to do wonders for sales. Who's going to want to buy that?

John Kerry would be against that. Remember what he said about "fighting man" comic books.

DC killed Ted Kord? Just damn! And the New Guardians was from 1988, not 1998. What a crappy series!

Glad I'm sticking to Silver Age, Bronze Age and Dan DeCarlo these days.

Whoa. That almost sounds like as bad an idea as Super Globetrotters.

If you're going to cite something with homosexual superheroes in it, cite "Watchmen" or "Astro City", rather than a series that had 3 out of eight members of the team infected with the AIDS virus before the end of the first issue. (shakes head)

That actually happened? Holy cow. I know it's make-believe, but how could you possibly be a superhero while maintaining that pill regimen?

I read the first issue of 52, and I think there was a Muslim. I know little about the DC Universe, so I don't know who the superpowered guy was--I think he was a Middle Easterner--but he saw a Muslim suicide bomber in a crowd of people, so he pulled him up into the air by one arm (which ripped his arm off) and threw him high enough to explode away from the crowd. That was kind of cool.

[Lindykim]

This depiction of Batwoman actually looks like a fantasized version of a young, muscular male wearing lipstick and big hair. It's truly a polymorphous transgender creature.
