Thread: Superman Will Be Gay In DC Comics

Following the recent news of Robin, now it's said that DC Comics will be turning Superman gay.

The news comes from former DC Comics artist Ethan Van Sciver who has been right about the direction of DC Comics in the past.

Now sources fill in Van Sciver that the Jonathan Kent Superman will be announced to be gay which will replace the Clark Kent version.

"I just found out, I got a little bit of a scoop about what DC's plans are. Nobody knows this, yet. It hasn't really been announced, except by me. The plan is that... Superman's book... I guess Clark Kent is going bye-bye," said Van Sciver on his popular ComicArtistsPro Secrets YouTube channel.

Ethan Van Sciver goes on to explain that DC Comics has had a lot of issues dealing with the trademark to Superman and dealing with the character's creators and families, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, as DC has never really paid them much of anything, and instead will replace Superman.

"DC Comics has had a lot of problems maintaining the trademark for Superman because you know, he's old. He's an old character, and the family would desperately like money because their family, their ancestors who created Superman got completely f'd over," said Van Sciver. "I mean Superman has made billions and billions and billions of dollars in revenue and those two boys who made up Superman got 'bupkis,' they were Jewish, so they got 'bupkis,' they got nothing."

Van Sciver continued: "Clark Kent I guess is going bye-bye and they are going to replace him with Jonathan Kent, and then they are going to announce that Jonathan Kent is gay. So Superman is effectively gay, everyone. He is gay."

The former Green Lantern artist also said it will happen in the pages of Tom Taylor's Superman comic book, Superman: Son of Kal-El, which was recently launched in July.

Update: New Superman confirmed as gay.

I really don't get it. Why do that when most of your readership is straight? Sounds like more influence on young people to be gay. Or at least be accepting of it.

Seems like DC comics is writing porn, not straight (pardon the pun!) comic books. They had that controversy with Bat Man and cat woman last month.

It's the writers, this is what you get when you do diversity hires rather than writers who are passionate about the subject matter. If you want a gay character, introduce a gay character. They just don't want to put in the work at character development. It's sheer laziness to just retrofit an old character. My guess is that this will fail hard, and they will go back to the original Superman.
