Last fall, we learned that DC Comics’ new incarnation of Superman, Jon Kent (the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane), would be less a superhero and more a social warrior, leaving the battling of supervillains to others while he tackled climate change. And in Superman: Son of Kal-El #5, it would be revealed he had a boyfriend. "The idea of replacing Clark Kent with another straight white savior felt like a missed opportunity,” Tom Taylor, the writer of the new comic, said. So instead, Taylor revealed that the new Superman “had to have new fights — real world problems...

The latest data set featuring comic book sales from December appear to show that readers are rejecting DC Comics’ woke changes to Superman.

A pensioner in India illegally had twelve Covid-19 jabs in less than a year before being caught by the police. Brahamdev Mandal had the dozen vaccines in just 11 months, and even had two within half an hour of each other on the same day. The 84-year-old said he wanted to feel stronger during the pandemic, and said the multiple jabs cured him of his joint pain that he has had for eight years. The serial-vaxxer was able to sign up for extra jabs by using different people's ID and lying to health officials, and is now facing a string...

As we reported earlier this month, Jonathan Kent, the new iteration of Superman, is bisexual, according to DC Comics.

A comic book colorist says he is fed up with the left turn at DC Comics and he is quitting over the latest left-wing change to the Superman character. Gabe Eltaeb made the comments during a guest appearance on a YouTube show hosted by Cyberfrog creator Ethan Van Sciver. "What really pissed me off was saying truth, justice, and a better world. F*** that it was Truth, Justice, and the American way," said Eltaeb. He was referring to the announcement from the publisher of Superman comics that they would be dropping "the American way" from the character's motto for the...

DC Comics has ditched the mention of 'The American Way' from Superman's motto in favor of the superhero fighting for a 'better tomorrow.' The 83-year-old character's longstanding adage used to be 'Truth, Justice and the American Way'. But the publisher said that his new mission statement will be 'Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow.' DC did not specifically address why they had ditched America from the slogan, but instead maintained that they were focused on 'evolving.' 'To better reflect the storylines that we are telling across DC and to honor Superman's incredible legacy of over 80 years of building a...

Superman’s mission statement has become a part of not just comic culture, but pop culture itself over the past few decades. But after all those years of standing up for “Truth, Justice and the American Way,” Clark Kent has a new rallying cry. As part of DC FanDome, DC Chief Creative Officer and Publisher Jim Lee announced Superman has a new mission statement aimed at better reflecting the modern day. His new mission statement? “Truth, Justice and A Better Tomorrow.”

The brilliant and courageous writers at DC Comics have announced that Superman is now gay, and his pronouns are they/them as he is also non-binary. Now, instead of Kryptonite, he will be rendered completely powerless by anyone who addresses him using the wrong pronouns. "I'll finally defeat Superman! He's such a liberal snowflake!" says right-wing transphobe Lex Luthor to reporters in the latest issue. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" cries gay Superman in response as he withers to the ground in shrieks of agony. "I'm non-binary! It should be 'THEY is such a snowflake!' EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Writers confirmed that gay Superman will gay-save the world...

When the news broke that Superman is coming out as bisexual, it became a trending topic on Twitter, which is not how I typically determine whether something is important. To me, it was important because, like millions of Silver Age comic book kids growing up with Superman in the 1960s, I feel a sense of ownership. Back then, my devotion extended beyond the comic books to include the daily reruns of the syndicated TV show, “Adventures of Superman,” starring George Reeves. The producers had the foresight to film the last four seasons of this 1950s classic in color, but the...

Dean Cain, the actor who portrayed Superman in the 1990s TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman alongside Teri Hatcher, dismissed the new iteration of Superman. He argued that DC Comics making Superman bisexual isn’t “bold or brave” like it’s being promoted as, but instead is just a case of “bandwagoning.” “They said it’s a bold new direction, I say they’re bandwagoning,” Cain said. “You know, Robin just came out as bi […] honestly, who’s really shocked about that one? The new Captain America is gay. My daughter in [the TV series] ‘Supergirl,’ where I played the...

Dean Cain, who played Superman in the 1990s series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman — and played him very well, I might add — appeared on Fox & Friends to express his disdain for DC Comics' announcement that Clark Kent's and Lois Lane's son, who is the "new" Superman, is bisexual and will have an affair with a "hacktivist" while fighting climate change and defending illegal aliens. Cain made the excellent point that this storyline isn't fresh and bold; it's hackneyed, boring, and singularly lacking in bravery. First, Cain pointed out something that I had missed since...
