All the comic book superheroes are homosexual.

Its gotta be Batman. Yeah, probably.

Mark my words, it doesnt matter which hero it is, sales numbers will crater. Mark my words: not if it's Wonder Woman.

Yeah, but Superman saved tens of millions in taxes by renouncing his US citizenship.

Every one of them has that whole spandex tights thing going on, in all kinds of bright colors.

Totally idiotic move taking 'PC' to the level of insanity.
The boys and young men that buy DC 'superhero' comics may be brainwashed by the public schools and the media that being 'gay' is just dandy but as far as I can tell, it's still considered an insult for one teen-age boy to call another (both presumably heterosexual) 'gay'. That indicates the reality is that boys still know that wanting sex with another guy is wrong and probably repulsive to most of them. Thus, adding a 'gay' character to the DC comic stable will likely turn off the majority of that company's prospective consumers. Maybe Obama will bail DC comics out when they crater. Oh, wait, he won't be president by then.

I would say Green Arrow. I think he had pacifist views in the past.

I figured Wonder Woman, come on she was raised by
Amazons!
And how much longer will it be before we have a
transgender super hero/ine?

Oh good grief! The comic books are not usually about with whom the characters are having sex. It’s of absolutely no importance to the stories, unless the writer is pushing an agenda, in which case it’s not a comic book, it’s propaganda.

Not necessarily.
Besides, if it is
WW, her original impetus behind leaving
Paradise Island Themysciraher having fallen in love with Steve Trevorwill be erased, and she would have no reason to go to Mans World.

I stopped reading comics when Goldfinger first came out in paperback.
My mild curiosity is whether this "superhero" is going to be on the Gotham Turnpike, servicing a Glory Hole in a rest stop mens room.
I always thought that was the ultimate in the romance of homosexual behavior. Odd that it never gets the publicity it deserves...

Really, who cares about comic book characters? I never understood the interest by anyone over the age of 12. In today’s environment, I doubt anyone UNDER the age of, oh, 40, cares. Collectors and guys in their 40’s who still live in mom’s basement maybe.
Sorry, this silly in and out of the closet/commie/enviro whacko trend that everyone keeps writing about creeping into comic books - what power do they have over anything or anyone that we don’t grant them? If a tree in a forest is cut down to print a comic book, do I give a...., ah, never mind.
I say ditch the dime store comics and read Melville.

she would have no reason to go to Mans World. Maybe she wanted to meet Rahm Emmanuel?
Oh, wait, that was Man's Country, wasn't it?
