DC Says One Of Its"Iconic" Heroes Is Gay
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
I hope that it isn't Martian Manhunter because apart from one time in JLU the guy never seems to date so it would be a waste.
So gay is the latest trend? I mean this is what coming up in Marvel Comic

I honestly think it's a dumb stunt. Then again reboots are normal for comics so what do I know.
My money's on it being a woman just so DC has a excuse to have 2 busty barely-clothed women making out with each other.
Or they're just going pretend that Batwoman, who's been gay before the reboot, is "iconic".
Edit: Oops, somehow didn't read the part where it was definitely male. Um...I guess Martian Manhunter? He usually not in a relationship anyway so it's not like they're going to be rocking any boats if it's him.

Wish they'd just bite the bullet and make Wounder Women a lesbian, I mean her suggested relationship with Batman in JL (cartoon) never really took off and, lets face it, if you can't fall for Batman maybe its time to rethink some things.
My moneys on Aquaman, dudes so camp its funny watching him throw his weight around in JLU. Or maybe the Flash, you know it was all just a show he put on.

First though: "Its Aquaman isn't it? Its totally Aquaman."
Second thought: "Hang on, what about Wonder Woman? She comes from a society not just centred around women but totally made up of them, has always had homoerotic and fetishistic overtones since first inception and have you see how she dresses?"
I it is WW I really hope they don't use the 'butch lesbian' stereotype

Why does everyone keep saying Wonderwoman when the article clearly states that the character is going to be male? I mean, yes I know she's an Amazon, but they are all female, despite having predominantly male traits. (At least I think they're all female, I've never read any of her comics.)
Anyways I hope it's Batman, because that would be an interesting twist, but I can't see any way for them to put that into a story arc without it being extremely forced. My first reaction was "AQUAMAN" but as people have already said, he is married. So I'm going to have to go with Flash or Green Lantern. Because Superman and Louis Lane have been a pair for so long that the only reason for Superman to be gay is that the publishers are trolling the fans. (When I say pair I don't mean they have been together the entire time, only that to my knowledge the only people Superman has been canonically paired with are Louis and Wonderwoman.)
