Robin Comes Out as Bisexual in New Batman Comic
Tim Drake, one of the DC characters to go by the name Robin, is bisexual. Tim came to this [...]

Not that I really give a shit anymore, considering the shit that's been done to the character even beforehand, but this article is just laughable.

The people cheering this online are the Yaoi fetishists who can't handle two guys having a close friendship/brotherhood without there being some kind of 'shipping undercurrent. But whatever.

There's a whole bunch of Multiverses in DC's Omniverse, for as long as it lasts, where the character I enjoyed growing up is still doing his thing. Much like all of my other favorite characters that've been thrown to the wayside.

At the end of the day, it's all fan fiction, anyway. In this case, bad fan fiction.

Ultimately, what this comes down to is creative bankruptcy on the part of creators and impatience on that of the fans who want to leech off of the established character's residual credibility instead of putting time and money into an original character.

The big part that matters is whether or not anyone cares to follow up on something when it comes to comic books. Nowadays it seems like so many writers want to go do their thing in the sandbox, only for another writer to demolish it in a lot of cases or repeat a similar concept with a different name.

It’s honestly why I enjoy Asian comics more at this point because it’s usually the original writers holding on to the publishing rights for their books until the grave, or they hand it over to a child.

As much as I love Morrison's New 52 Superman, this is probably my favorite thing with Superman that he wrote. To me, this is Superman at his best, knowing he's a firefighter, not a cop or ruler.

The guy who knows he has no right to control humanity. Azzarello touched on it a little in his For Tomorrow arc, too. Showed a little of Superman's frustration, which only made him more human, because humanity is a frustrating contradiction.

Of course, Grant Morrison's writing him a little differently in Superman and the Authority, but eh. Not Morrison's best work, if I'm being honest, but still tons better than what DC is putting out, in my opinion.

All-Star Superman was my favorite Grant Morrison Superman Comic, even if it was an Alternate Universe.

Read Son of Kal-El #1-2, and I have to say that it's easy to see why they're making Jon Lane Kent gay, because as a character, he has absolutely nothing going for him that hasn't been done already by both Superman and Supergirl apart from that.

(Connor Kent, too, for that matter.)

Using Batman and WW in #1 to hype him up was just shit-tier fan fiction, a criticism of the writing rather than the character.

"More than Clark..." (Nope.)

"Faster than fate." (Nope.)

"More powerful than hope." (Nope.)

JLK isn't Superman, no matter how much DC wants to spin him as such, because Clark Kent's story actually resonates in the real world far more than this kid's ever will, regardless of his decline in popularity.

(Replacing being a superpowered refugee with being gay is still the same theme of feeling like an outsider.)

That said, I don't really want to shit on the character, or even his mother.

More power to the fans who enjoy what Taylor is doing, but once you've read Morrison and Pak's Superman, this just feels like a downgrade.

Yeah, and there was also Christopher Kent, from a time that Clark Kent adopted someone as his son, but overall, I agree, you have something that repeated a few times, you need to do something a bit different to make it a bit less redundant.
