DC Comics announced on Monday that the new Superman — the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane — will have a boyfriend and will let other superheroes battle evildoers while he battles climate change.
If ever there were a more perfect representation of the liberal culture’s idea of a superhero, Jonathan Kent will be it.
Jonathan, who will be known by his metrosexual nom de guerre “Jon,” is not your daddy’s Man of Steel. No doubt because making steel causes pollution and other evils. Perhaps DC Comics could rename Superman “Man of Jello,” which would be much more appropriate and far more descriptive.
“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.”
Happy Coming Out Day! Here is a picture of Superman (Jon Kent, son of Clark & Lois) kissing his boyfriend. Warms my gay heart.

I guess saving the world from supervillains wasn’t woke enough.

Lex Luthor wanted to send California crashing into the ocean and that darn Superman had to go and muck it up.
Larry Niven speculated about this (at least the hetero version) many years ago, in a piece called “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex”. Worth a read.
Bring back Lex Luthor

RE: Bring back Lex Luthor
Yeah, they’ll make him gay too.
Might as well call this AC comics.
Saw some Gillette products earlier this week. Moved on to the next brand, thanks for making the choice easier, Gillette. Still using their razor blades that I bought a while ago, will have to find a new brand.
This could explain why companies change names occasionally. Might be more business under the new name if they trashed the old one badly enough.

IIRC, Larry Niven wrote about Superman procreating. His sperm would be super energetic and would rip apart a human female. Assuming he could fertilize an egg, the developing fetus would kick apart a human female. The answer was for Superman to carry the baby. (Good luck doing a C-section on his invulnerable skin.)
