DC Comics Announce That New Superman Is Coming Out As Bisexual

Superman, a traditionally heterosexual superhero, is set to come out as bisexual and begin a romantic relationship with his best male friend, DC Comics announced on Monday.

DC has revealed that in their upcoming comic series, Jonathan ‘Jon’ Kent, who took over the Superman title from his father Clark, will start dating his close friend Jay Nakamura

The news comes just two months after the company announced that iconic Batman sidekick Robin was dating a man.

It also marks what DC has branded a ‘bold new direction’ for the legendary superhero, a move that started in July, when the company debuted a woke new series of comics about the character, featuring Clark Kent and Lois Lane’s son Jonathan, who inherited the role from his cape-wearing father. 

The Guardian reports: “The idea of replacing Clark Kent with another straight white savior felt like a missed opportunity,” Tom Taylor, the series writer, said in an interview with the New York Times.

His new love interest is Jay Nakamura, a reporter who cares for him after he “mentally and physically burns out from trying to save everyone that he can” in an issue of Superman: Son of Kal-El #5, to be released in November. Nakamura is also revealed to have special powers.

Kent’s sexuality is not the only way in which the character has been updated for a new audience and time. Recent issues have seen him protesting against the deportation of refugees, stopping a high school shooting and trying to put out wildfires that were the cause of the climate crisis.

“I’ve always said everyone needs heroes and everyone deserves to see themselves in their heroes and I’m very grateful DC and Warner Bros share this idea,” said Taylor 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 see themselves in the most powerful superhero in comics.”

  1. Ridiculous bowing down to sick deviants. Every nation / society in history that has had rampant homosexuality has collapsed. It always ends any great civilzation to pander to the lowest common denominator.

  2. I see DC Comics wants to increase its viewership by titillating the Grade School age children. Sort of like the tobacco companies used to target children with their cowboy “Marlboro Man” (lighting up a cigarette on the back of a horse) television adds. But if its suddenly ok to start enticing children with sex, where do you draw the line?

    Since DC comic art work is done in Japan, and the age of sexual consent in Japan is 13, I guess future DC Superman comics will have him in a relationship with a 13 year old boy. Thank God DC Comic’s art work isn’t done in the Philippines where the age of sexual consent is 12, or Nigeria where its 11. Or, here’s an idea, why not leave sex out of a child’s comic book entirely? In the mean time, place the DC “comic” books on the “ADULT” shelf next to the Playboy magazine. Come to think of it, does even Playboy have cowboy cigarette adds anymore?

  3. This ‘news’ is everywhere on Free Media. Seems to me like a destruction from rebellion against Southwest…
