Considering I’ve been sent more than a few similar images by both gay and bi men, I say it’s true Superman is bi! Lol

It's just pandering to the status quo, to be fair, trying to be current/socially responsible if you ask me..... Just my observation on it.

Thats nothing new in comics.

Not sure why superman being bi causes more offense or creates more attention than other changes made... well I do but still.

Also instead of it being pandering you could look at it as reflecting society as it is, and as it was then too just that people where to scared, oppressed and shamed to reflect it in the art of the time

You do realise superman discovered he could run faster than a seeding train and leap building at a single bound after getting an invite from a couple for a MMF threesome! Lol

In fairness how long has Robin The Boy wonder been gay .....it's not that new

More delighted to live in a country where someone like Taigh from Googlebox can say to his granny on the couch that he's bisexual and it doesn't make headlines like it would in the past

Well there is nothing wrong with reflecting the status quo of reality... and trying to be socially responsible. I wish more media took that approach. Gotta roll with the times as society improves.

The right have been very clever in portraying equality as a en erosion of the rights of the non disenfranchised and that they are the champions of stopping things going too far.

The left haven’t paid enough attention to how to be patriotic without being toxic .

Not the bi character in general. What gets me angry is the fact that they decided to change an iconic character just to make it look politically correct. Like him being hetero might actually upset someone..

Time for me to put on my nerd hat - this isn't Clark Kent/Kal El as played by Chris Reeve, etc. It's the new Superman, the son of Clark and Lois. So all the people who say things like 'wHY dONT tHEY cREATE nEW cHARACTERS iNSTEAD oF mAKING mY cHILDHOOD fAVOURITES gay/black/trans/gender-swapped etc.' can relax - that's exactly what they've done here.

I also wonder when the last time many of those complaining about this storyline actually bought a Superman comic?

Yes he is. He's stating that making him hetero might have upset someone. Implying that having hetero characters is something the makers don't wanna do. Which is clearly bullshit

I damn well hope there is pressure on media in general to reflect the reality of modern life rather than pretend everything is some kind of 1950's 2.4kids male/female marriage Trump utopia. Bi kids exist. No harm showing them in comics

Superman was flying over head. He spots wonderwoman completely naked and stretched over a table. Thinking to himself this would be a great opportunity with his fast speed he could just swoop down take her fast and no one would be the wiser... He proceeds with his plan... does the deed and flies of..

Wonderwoman ruffled by this gust of wind says to the invisible man.. "What the hell was that?" "I don't know" responds the invisible man.. "But my butt hurts..."

They haven't changed an iconic character. It's Jonathan Kent whose bi (Clark's son) not Kent. As far as I'm aware he's a newish character.

Of course all businesses need to mind their bottom line and widening appeal will be part of that. They probably focus group tested it and found there was customer appreciation for it. The media reflects the age not the other way around. The right wing love to blame the media as the instigators.

I'd support the status quo where peoole are seeing the insidiousness of religion and the terrible consequences to society that it encourages. I guess ill borrow one of your sayings and say its like a "love the sinner, hate the sin" type scenario. Religious actors aren't bad peoole. They just have some unpleasant beliefs that I'd rather not be around. Do I want them out of a job? No. Would I want to work around someone evangelising to me all day as their religion says they have to? No.

Google William Marston, creator of Wonder Woman. He was into BDSM and lived with his wife and his lover - who continued to live together after his death.
