Superman Comes Out, as DC Comics Ushers In a New Man of Steel

Up, up and out of the closet!

The new Superman, Jonathan Kent — who is the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane — will soon begin a romantic relationship with a male friend, DC Comics announced Monday.

That same-sex relationship is just one of the ways that Jonathan Kent, who goes by Jon, is proving to be a different Superman than his famous father. Since his new series, Superman: Son of Kal-El, began in July, Jon has combated wildfires caused by climate change, thwarted a high school shooting and protested the deportation of refugees in Metropolis.

“The idea of replacing Clark Kent with another straight white savior felt like a missed opportunity,” Tom Taylor, who writes the series, said in an interview. He said that a “new Superman had to have new fights — real world problems — that he could stand up to as one of the most powerful people in the world.”

“Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex”, by Larry Niven
I read that too! Used to read everything Niven wrote...

However, I was channeling Eddie Murphy's bit about Mr T being gay (an old stand up bit)

A kryptonite butter knife would solve that problem.

He’s dead and should stay that way. This is so gross and a perversion

For fans of the medium, storytelling and art, there is Comicsgate and Arktoons.com

Because faggatism always increases sales. Such a great idea to identify with less then 10% of the population, with less then 2% that maybe buys comic books...too bad they are buying Betty and Veronica!

He’ll be more like Homo Eruptus with each of his boy friends being blasted into orbit at every peak of his “happy time”...

Is it a bird, is it a plane, NO! It’s Schuperman, and he’s mahvelous. Soon he will become a she and will be Schupergirl!

DC's attempt to generate free PR into a comic line that virtually no one reads anyway will be the kryptonite that kills the DC movie franchise.

I think Superman IV : The Quest For Peace, pretty much already took care of that.

Father. . “Look Son, the new Superman comic book, He can suck a bowling ball thru a garden hose. . “
