Confirmed: Superman might be gay

Makes sense. He’s got the build, the fashion sense, and just maybe the gaydar-pinging facial structure. And yet — no one’s sure yet that he’s the one who’s coming out. All we know is that it’s a male, that it’ll happen next month, and that he’s “one of the major iconic DC characters.” Is there something you’d like to tell us, Batman? Actually, no need: We already know. So which one is it? The folks at DC Comics aren’t saying, but they do say it’s the latest effort to make sure their comics keep up with the times. Last September, DC Comics relaunched its entire line of comic books to feature an updated look and a new lineup of LGBT superheroes: including Voodoo, an African American bisexual woman and Batwoman, an open lesbian… “DC and (archrival) Marvel are recognizing that there is an LGBT audience that has been reading their comics for years,” said Matt Kane, associate director of entertainment and media for GLAAD. “When creating these fictional worlds it’s important to show the full diversity.” Aside from making good business sense, Kane said younger readers are perfectly comfortable with gay characters and expect to see their peers represented.

In 1976 I had an argument with my childhood friend Fat Larry about who was the best super hero. He argued for the Hulk and I supported Superman. I left in a huff after Larry blurted out "Superman's a fag!" If you are out there reading this larry, I apoligize. The Hulk rules.

It won’t be Supes. Lois Lane will be too ticked off. It’ll either be Jimmy Olsen or Wonder Woman.

Maybe DC comics should change its name to AC/DC comics,

I dunno, Aquaman always seemed kinda fishy to me. And lets not even start on Wonder Woman.

Well, that’s got to suck for the Kryptonians. The last hope for the continuation of their species, and he’s gay.

“And lets not even start on Wonder Woman.”

That’s right. She did come from an Island of only women.

Batman. Lives with his “male ward” Robin, and the butler. NO girlfriend, not even a beard. Wears tights.

Larry Niven answered this question decades ago (”Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex”). Superman, despite his human appearance is an alien species. A Homo Sapiens woman would be as attractive to him as a chimpanzee would be to a Homo Sapies. Wrong phermones, among other things.

Now it is possible that given a long-enough isolation from his own kind, Superman might develop . . . ah . . . outlets. But it would be as “natural” as a human male developing a crush on a chimp. Not that there is anything wrong with that — as they would say on Seinfield.

Don’t think so-—Bruce Wayne maintains that playboy reputation, bedding any hot chick who catches his eye.

http://www.superdickery.com has a great collection of gay moments in comic history. Batman and Wonder Woman take the cake. Let’s hope there’s no latent damage from all that subliminal exposure in our yoot!

I’m thinking it’s Shazam!!! Add a lisp to that and you got yourself one happy superhero.

Doesn’t matter which one comes out of the closet.

The second they reveal, I end my patronage of all Super hero movies.

The Hulk rules.

If you haven't been to see The Avengers yet, it's worth the price of a ticket. The Hulk steals the entire movie.
