Is Batman gay? Major DC Comics character to come out of the closet

I support this 'money' - do I get to also drizzle myself in honey and roll around in a kiddie pool of this 'money' and take home what sticks?

That depends on who you know, what you look like, and what you can do to "convince" them to let you :mrgreen:
 
I suspect this was the point you where going for, but not sure so clarifying: gay and pedophile are two entirely separate things, and rarely is some one both. Homosexuality is a primary attraction to the same sex. Pedophilia is a primary attraction to prepubescent children.
Correct. The common theme people kept pointing to was that he had a thing for 'boys', which is why I said he was gay AND ALSO a pedophile...two different things. That wasnt clear?
 
Oh come on, Batman has been gay for decades.

Too bad. I've always had a lot more respect for DC than for Marvel. That is now over.
 
Making Batman gay would be like making Superman gay. It would totally **** up the storyline and the universe.
 
So now in an interest to make maybe 10% of the population feel 'welcome', we need to go and over exaggerate and make half of everything gay?

I have no problem with gay's marrying. Its not my choice, I don't understand it. What I don't support is explicit parades, or **** like this. This type of crap would change my attitude real quick.

I got a fantastic idea. Make a NEW gay super hero. FFS.

P.S. Comics are for kids. If you are not a kid, and you read 'graphic novels', you need to talk to a psychiatrist.

From what I understand they already did that with their little "ReBoot" last year. Guess this is just more of a way to drive away the classic DC fans and try to steal some of the market from Marvel.... where nothing in the universe is any more stable than in the WWE.

How so? What would be different in Batman's behavior and/or history that would cause problems in the DC Universe? AFAIK, Batman's never had a girlfriend he was actually screwing. He only played the part of a wealthy playboy which would be consistent with a lot of gay men during those times (50's and 60's).
 
Well, the batman thing would kinda make sense. Consider all the hot women in Batman's daily life : poison ivy, harlequin, black cat, batgirl, etc. And what is he usually doing instead of those ladies? driving around with some young boy in tights.

Oh that DEFINITELY explains it given all you know about Batman. :roll:

Is some one actually suggesting making half the characters gay?

LSH had openly gay characters in Shrinking Violet and Lightning Lass. While never explicitly stated, it was very clear.

But then...mainstream public doesnt have a problem with lipstick lesbians. That goes over just fine!

You are aware that DC has had a fair number of gay characters over the years? There are the aforementioned Shrinking Violet and Lightning Lass, Plus several in Watchmen(Ozymandias, Captain Metropolis and Hooded Justice, plus Silhouette), Comet, Desire and I am sure others.

Except she had a long scar and missing eye(thanks to Cosmic Boy). She also lost a leg. In fact, she never had good luck that I remember.

It will be sad to see their stock pluymet without your support.

What do I know...I had to Google them. The pics I saw they both had perfect shapely figures, big boobs...viva les liberacion!

(kinda hard to get worked up one way or ta other over gay comic book characters...)
 
My guess is that the person who actually invented Batman wasn't thinking about things such as sexuality. He is a super hero that beats up bad guys. All this speculation about his sexuality is kind of silly. The character has been around for how long without this being a big deal?
 
Well, he does seem to enjoy playing dress up.
