Lewis Lane?
Man of Steel?
I’ll stop now.
“Breaking news from the world of comic books — Superman may be gay.
Pink News reports that DC Comics is going to kill off the Clark Kent character and turn the cape and tights over to his son – Jonathan Kent. According to a number of media sources – Jonathan Kent will come out of the phone booth.
“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 DC Comics artist Ethan Van Sciver on his popular ComicArtistsPro Secrets YouTube channel.
It’s part of a trend in the comic book industry — turning established and beloved superheroes into woke, social justice warriors.
In recent days DC Comics announced that Batwoman was a lesbian. AquaLad was gay. And Robin – the Boy Wonder – was bisexual.
Now some of you might be wondering why this is such a big deal. But it’s not just about comic books. It’s about a radical group of sex and gender revolutionaries who are shoving an agenda into the minds of innocent children.
And now the man who was more powerful than a speeding bullet has been felled — not by kryptonite — but by the Rainbow Flag.
Again – unconfirmed reports from DC Comics – but don’t be surprised if the Man of Steel ditches Lois Lane for Jimmy Olson — or the Boy Wonder.”

I was never really into these funny books. Regardless, what happens today should not be regarded as actually “official”, any more than “Gnomeo and Juliet” is a new, “official” version of Shakespeare’s play.
The same goes for Amazon’s Lord of the Rings series, or even the Peter Jackson interpretations of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
Any story that is worth telling (and many that are not) will survive long enough to be told a thousand different ways, often badly. Look at what has happened to the stories about King Arthur.

Jack Larson, who played Jimmy Olsen in the 1950’s era “The Adventures of Superman” was gay – although we didn’t know it at the time.
