Cant the gays just make their own characters

typically when we make our own characters the same people who tell us to stay away from established characters will accuse the new character of just being pandering and shouldnt have ever been made in the first place

This isn't Superman.

This is new Superman.

Totally different. One has the word "new".

No that's not New Superman. That's just Superman and it's a new Superman comic.

Superman with the word "new" as in "New Superman" is a totally different character.

Okay Im going to be the odd man out here:

How could anyone not be excited about this? Hes the son of Superman and Lois Lane and he just happens to be gay. Im willing to bet it wont be a huge focus of his character and will give actual representation to the LGBTQ+ community without making sex the focal point. Sex was NEVER the focal point of Superman and I doubt an established iconic series would just flip that script. The most the homophobes will have to push through are some homosexual kisses. Something tells me this is a great step forward for inclusivity.

If the bolded is true, then that would be the reason for me to get excited. I just don't trust modern Hollywood and the way they tend to incorporate these progressive values, because they often feel heavy-handed and self-indulgent. I love when a character just so happens to be gay, black, etc., but when you want to score woke points without actually trying to tell a good story with well-written characters, you get CW's Batwoman.

The thing with that is.....

we really got ask ourselves. How PC are guys like Batman at this point? I know his ladys man persona is meant to be a disguise, but still. You know?

On second thought

The thing to do would probably be to make both Batman & Superman gay (but they hate each other lol) to avoid creating conflict.

Also, they should fix his costume ^.^


This. Red cape. Blue lining.

Big S on the chest

lots of skin

I know nothing about this character but a scene of him coming out to Clark and Lois could be rather sweet.

If any superhero is gonna have a gay son Superman is a good character to do that with.

Bendis happened.
Seriously, fuck Bendis. Super Sons had way more potential than the trash he wrote. Hell, just having a young Superman growing up in a modern era had so much potential they could have worked with.

At least it led to this I guess. Truthfully, I was kind of hoping Super Sons would eventually lead to Jon and Damien getting together when they got older.

If hes his own original character thats cool, but making a established character like Clark Kent gay out of nowhere to pander its lame.

Thats why I like Calvin Ellis. Hes a cool black Superman that doesnt retcon Kal El
