DC Character To Come Out

[Orange]

Your favorite DC Comics character might be gay. In an interview at the Kapow Comics Convention, DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan DiDio said that a "prominent" DC Comics character will soon come out of the closet, reversing an earlier statement where he had said DC was more likely to insert a new LGBT character than "out" an existing one. Twitter users have cited Aquaman and Wonder Woman as the most likely candidates. They won't be the first gay characters in comics, though. "It's sad when DC is playing catch-up to Archie. And the entire comics industries of Japan and Europe," tweeted Joe_Hunter. Once they start catching up, though, it could happen in a Flash.

Don't know if that's just a guess at the end of the article, or if it's a hint, I'm leaning towards guess.

So, who do you think it could be?

Hal Jordan and Oliver Queen really WERE Gay for Justice!

If DC had a more clear-cut Ultimate universe, that'd be a great chance to confirm what EVERYONE thinks about Bats and Robin. Just for the lols and because why not.

[Loki-A-Go-Go!]

I don't want it to be Wonder Woman or The Flash. The use of the word Flash at the end of that article though worries me.

I will laugh to no end if it ends up being the beloved Batman , just to see the reactions alone would be priceless.

It would kinda make sense. <_<

I posted in the comic book thread that during the DC panel at the reent Kaboom convention that a gay character was joining Batman. Could be connected.

Honestly, there's nothing newsworthy about this.

It'll hardly be the first gay DC character, let alone the first gay character in comics as a whole.

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

Isn't the new Latin Spider-Man gay as well?

I'd love to see more gay characters in Superhero comics, but this smacks of yet another publicity stunt by DC.

[Burst]

I just hate how every new gay character in comics is treated and publicized by non-comic media outlets as if they're THE FIRST GAY SUPERHERO.

Every. Damn. Time.

It might not even be the only announcement this week, as a MARVEL PR guy is going on The View Tomorrow to announce something on an X-Men title, and the rumor is that it's the Northstar wedding.

It kind of would make sense if it was Wonder Woman, despite her on-and-off sexual tension with Batman and Superman over the decades. I mean she's from an island of Amazons, for crying out loud.

Aquaman would be harder to believe he's gay. I mean he's been married to, and birthed a child with, Mera.

The Flash....well....let me ask this, WHICH Flash?

Ultimate Colossus, too. Wiccan, Hulkling, Batwoman, The Question. And going back to the 90s, wasn't half of Gen13 gay, too? But for some reason they backpedaled and unfortunately turned them straight, or just slutty.

There are many homosexual characters, but seeing one of the Justice Leaguers, Avengers, or X-Men as an out-and-equal part of the force would be refreshing. but any move like that is bound to be a publicity stunt, and something that would reduce them to a token character.

[Z-A Sandbaggin' Son of a b!%@h]

Isn't Aquaman already gay?

No way I'm letting this get no-sold. I laughed heartily!
