Robin is gay....period. For those who are upset...this is why Batman eventually dumped the sidekick and went off on his own.

Which Robin is this? It sure can't be Dick Grayson, who has been involved with a lot of women, including Barbara Gordon. Here's his longtime love interest:



I didn't read the posted article beyond the excerpts, but the premise is laughable. Unfortunately, comics are full of gay characters now. Over at DC, Batwoman and the Question are former lesbian lovers. A Flash villain named the Pied Piper is gay. At Marvel, there are a couple of gay Young Avengers named Hulkling and . . . something. Can't remember his boyfriend's name. There's a team called the Runaways that I think has a lesbian. And, most annoyingly, there was a child superhero team called Power Pack, and one of the girls has grown up to be a lesbian. Marvel is full of gay heroes. Oh, yeah. In the Ultimate Universe, Colossus is gay.

The Question is a woman now?

What’s Steve Ditko’s take on the revamps of all his characters?

You're kidding! I loved Power Pack, the person whose responsible for that should be tarred and feathered...

I got out of comics in the very late 80's in the aftermath of DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths. It left a very bad taste in my mouth. It now looks like I got out just in time, before the whole thing went to pot.
