I have nothing against homosexuals but why? This would be kinda wrong and make the whole Batman & Robin thing kind of pervy/pedo.

But I do think it would be hot if they made Wonder Woman the gay character.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I have never read comics, but I would buy my first one if it is Wonder Woman, and they get into some lesbian sex between her and Bat Girl

Why? Are you saying a gay man can't be friends with a possibly straight boy? And do you really lose sleep about ... cartoon characters?

I'd welcome Batman.

Hell ... wears costumes, hangs out with cute boy, never married, very elegantly decorated home ... he's at least metrosexual.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Why the fuck do any of them have to be gay? Why the fuck does every tv show in prime time have to have a gay character?

I consider myself quite sympathetic to the gay rights movement, but I am rather stunned that they'd make Batman gay for the reason you state.

statistically, 1 in 10 superheroes are gay

the other 9 are in the closet

I doubt it's Batman. I can't see them announcing something like that with a Batman movie coming out in the somewhat near future.

It has to be Aquaman. Everybody knows that all swimmers are gay.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Why couldn't they just use this storyline for Robin?

:-/

Because if it were Robin he's still young enough to be cured of it. Probably with a combination of a Bat device and Michelle Bachmann's husband.

Only one previous Batman writer admits anything of the sort:

Grant Morrison, writer of both Batman and Batman Incorporated said in an interview with Playboy that "Gayness is built into Batman. I’m not using gay in the pejorative sense, but Batman is very, very gay...Obviously as a fictional character he's intended to be heterosexual, but the basis of the whole concept is utterly gay."[8]

 

[Mediocre Man]

In all seriousness, I wonder how this news might affect ticket sales this summer?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Why are you guys so shocked? Superman, too!

I mean, they do run around in tight costumes with their underwear on the outside of their outfits.

Batman is like the coug/older man seducing the younger, tough, boyishly handsome Robin?

That's true!

I went to high school with a cute girl who was a swimmer. And when i asked her out on a date, she claimed she was a lesbian.

Although now that i look back on it, I think she was lying. Afterall, she hung out with my friend Chris all the time and they recently got married....

That's a lie. Everybody knows that all swimmers are gay. It's genetic.

Isn't HCP a swimmer?

I'm going to disagree with this.

You know who was blatantly and "utterly" gay?

He-Man.

Isn't that Chyna (with blonde hair)??

Skeletor was his dom.

Let us not forget the AG duo, who were the real trailblazers for the superhero LGBT community.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Maybe 'cause da gays watch TV like everyone else? Just a guess though.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Robin is a classic catamite.

Steve Carrell and Steve Colbert!

And there is a statistically significant portion of the population that is gay. It's like saying "Why do we have to have non-white superheroes?!" Because they clearly exist.

e:non-white people, not superheroes

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

What about autistic superheros? we must represent every demographic equally!

[crandc]

I don't watch cartoon type shows anyway.

I get my gay TV fix from Rachel Maddow.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Terry Richardson has a Batman and Robin photo set. google it if you want to see them blowing each other. :MARIS61:

1-3% is "statistically significant"

I don't think so....
