DC Comics to switch sexual orientation of a character soon

[Thebadguy]

Any black characters? If so, that's who they'll make gay. Just to prove a point.

Mr.Terrific, Static, John Stewart, Black Lightning.

Please not Batman and Robin. scust @ them making a comic called Brokeback Batcave.

Mr.Terrific, Static, John Stewart, Black Lightning.

Mr. Terrific is already an atheist, I'm pretty sure making him gay too would be overkill over at DC

Its a male character, someone that hasn't been introduced yet and is considered A "major iconic character".

In a piece from ABC News, DC's senior vice president of publicity Courtney Simmons stated that it's a male character, being quoted as saying, "One of the major iconic DC characters will reveal that he is gay in a storyline in June." On Twitter, Scott Snyder, writer of DC's Batman and Swamp Thing, shot down rumors that Batman may be outed by tweeting, "the announcement was 'a character not seen since the relaunch will come out as gay.'"

I'm thinking it might be Black Lightning based on that info.

This has got to stop. If they want to reach the gay demographic, fine. Create some new gay characters. I'm sure they'll love it. But there is no need to ruin a character's history and force feed us tolerance.

I hope its not Wally West.

Powergirl as a lesbian?

why don't u just wait til it plays out before you jump to conclusion that a character will be "ruined" by a orientation change

Don't be so dogmatic. I mean, yeah, certain characters (like married-for-years Black Lightning, for example) don't make too much sense. But for others with minimal sexual histories or such, who cares? Does it fundamentally change what they are THAT much?

There's no need for it. It's pandering.

There's no need for it. It's pandering.

are we really discussing "needs" in comic books?

The Marvel Gay Wedding In Astonishing X-Men is getting more press than this. I got no problem with a Batgirl or someone being a Lesbian but then again..Batwoman is a Lesbian. One of the most unique parts about her, well, other than the fact that she's as pale as chalk
