Batwoman is a lesbian.
Most logical is Wonder Woman, who is actually from Lesbian Island. Don’t know if they actually have the guts to make such a statement with one of their Trinity members though. Even though Wonder Woman has always been the Chris Bosh of the Big Three.
Tim Drake is a good bet, since he’s never had any significant/interesting relationship subplots with any prominent female characters in his entire history. Though I wonder if DC would actually make a Robin gay and almost kind of legitimatize all the very well warranted Batman/Robin jokes that have been piling up for decades.
Green Arrow makes a lot of sense, assuming we’re talking about Connor Hawke. Same boat as Robin, I don’t think he’s ever had any real established romances, he grew up probably molested by monks every day…that’s probably my bet.
Dick Grayson makes no sense, they’d have to completely discount his stories with Barbara and Starfire, both of which were somewhat prominent landmarks in Batman and Teen Titans books. But DC saying “ah, fuck it” to continuity has been a trend recently.
Aquaman would be weird, I don’t know how well a monarchy type situation facilitates gayness. Seems like it’s just more logistical headaches than anything else, to always have to explain that not only is he gay, but he’s a gay king…who took a wife and had a son, all as a ruse to mask his gayness? What the fuck?
Manhunter, despite the name, doesn’t work because it’s kind of a copout to make an alien gay, I mean what does that even mean, plus then it gives The Authority a weird vibe with the two other loudest/unsubtle gay superheroes in comics.
Anyway the whole thing is so forced and dumb, which is pretty par for the course for comics now I guess.
I got money on Tim Drake, and then Conner Hawke. Anything else is pretty meaningless.
YEs but they didn’t make a big deal out of that. There was no buildup and announcement leading up to it. It was more like “Oh yeah, she likes muff. Didn’t we mention that?”
Surely it would be easier having an alien be gay.
I’m sure Marvel are well aware of Southpark’s joke so that rules him out. I still voted for Aquaman though…
Doomsday. Legend has it, he comes back to life stronger than before. And with a stronger hunger for cock.
In the new 52 the amazons rape and fuck men if they want to get pregnant so the whole lesbian isle theory sucks.
But is it really rape?
And Maggie Sawyer was out of the closet when I was still in grade school. Renee Montoya, not long after.
It’ll probably be a dude.
The trouble is, featuring a gay character is not progressive just in itself, and DC probably isn’t aware of that, given that they’re run by a bunch of gibbons.*
(*Not Dave Gibbons.)
Fuck DC…this shit seems forced just gain popularity back since Avengers is stealing the spotlight from them.
Death by snu snu?
No, that actually makes it hold more water, because it means that the only thing they want out of men is their sperm for carrying on the Amazon race.
I know it was a Frank Miller alternate reality, but Wonder Woman’s famous for calling men “Sperm Banks”.
I can see it being Wonder Woman. They made Starfire a nympho, so why not?
It’s probably Aquaman though, given he hangs out with a bunch of Seamen already…
I think the best part of Green Arrow supposedly being gay would be the reaction of the CW writers currently writing the new GA show going “WAIT WHAT!? NOW YOU TELL US!?”
It’s the worst kind of stunt for popularity and honestly I don’t get how this will help them appeal their books. The main demographic for the new 52 are males and the sales charts shows it’s mainly just guys buying their books. The gay demographic is tiny segment of their payig customers and that’s with batwoman already in the mix…having s male gay character will not convert non comic fans to instant comic fans IMO.
We all know its going to be catwoman and superwoman. Mainly superwoman.
While it may fit your not interesting criteria, his initial relationship with Stephanie Brown was very important to his character development at one time.
Also in the name of relevance
the flash
Batman, just to piss off the fanboys.
I just hope they come out like Shatterstar did.
“…for I am GAAAAY!”
And then it would be revealed that he’s been running around naked the whole time, waggling around his dong in front of unsuspecting people, only putting on his costume shortly before he stops running.
More mainstream comic book characters need to be gay.
But actually believably gay, not “we want to increase sales” gay.
