Superman gay com

Superman has come out as bisexual. Or more accurately, Superman’s son – Jonathan Kent – who has recently taken on his father’s role in DC Comics, has been depicted kissing another male ethics in a panel from a forthcoming comic.

Although the wider public has only recently been made aware of this, comic readers have suspected it for several months after a growing romance between Kent and journalist, Jay Nakamura, in recent issues of Superman: Son of Kal-El. And Kent has introduced his boyfriend to his parents in recent issues of the comic he stars in.

The uncovering that a Superman is bisexual is a giant deal in terms of superhero comics, but it hasn’t gone down good with everyone. Former Superman actor Dean Cain claimed the move would hold been brave 20 years ago but now was “bandwagoning”.

Various Republican senators in the US have complained, including Arizona state senator Wendy Rogers who called him “a woke Superman”. Josh Mandel, who is trying for a senate seat, said, “Bisexual comics for kids [are] trying to destroy America.” And another Arizona Republican, Josh Barnett

Except, hmm, this seemed pretty unlikely to me. Superhero comics are still overwhelmingly straight, so the odds of DC revealing two major franchise characters as queer within the span of a few months are pretty steep — especially one who is currently wearing the mantle of Superman. So I did a bit of digging to figure out how this rumor got started.

Good news: it’s hilarious.

First, though, who is Jon Kent? Jon is the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. He debuted in and is best known for costarring in the delightful all-ages Super Sons with Damian Wayne, son of Batman and current Robin. Due to convoluted plot shenanigans, Jon was abruptly aged up from 10 years vintage to 17 a couple years ago, something I intend to harbor simmering resentment about for the rest of my natural life.

Until recently, Jon went by Superboy, but as of July, the regular Superman comic book has been put on hiatus, and Jon has been starring in a monthly series called Superman: Son of Kal-El. The two issues that h

DC Comics have announced the superhero’s son, Jon Kent, is bisexual

The latest issue of Superman: Son of Kal-El is coming out in November. And, with it comes the arrival of a new “21st Century Superman”, written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by John Timms that has had a lot of hype.

This new Superman turns out to be the son of Clark Kent and Lois Path. He’s also a journalist and has supernatural powers, but he comes into the world with different ideals. He's fighting against enemies that his father has never faced, dealing with issues related to the climate crisis and standing against the deportation of refugees. He’s also openly bisexual and in a association with fellow journalist, Jay Nakamura.

A new era for Superman

Summing up the reason behind his judgment to stretch the boundaries of Superman’s representation, Taylor said in a statement: “Superman’s symbol has always stood for hope, for truth, and for justice. Today, that symbol represents something more. Today, more people can watch themselves in the most forceful superhero in comics.”

'How Gay Is Superman?'

June 19, &#; -- He's clearly into fitness, and splashy summer colors.

The brand-new film about the Bloke of Steel, "Superman Returns" -- which comes out, er, on June 28 -- is being advertised on Logo, the male lover and lesbian cable TV channel. Now, the lgbtq+ magazine, The Advocate, is asking "How Gay Is Superman?"

The Advocate is not claiming that Superman is gay. It's making a larger point -- that like many gays and lesbians, Superman has a secret life. In the closet or phone booth, as the case may be, Superman has another identity that he doesn't share with anyone.

Nonetheless, Warner Bros. executives -- perhaps afraid questions about the Man of Steel's sexual orientation may marginalize the film -- have pushed back on The Advocate's query and the Internet buzz it has created.

The film's director, Bryan Singer, who is homosexual, insisted to Reuters that Superman "is probably the most heterosexual character in any movie I've ever made." Whatever that means.

It's an unusual time for superheroes
