So in an interview at some comic book convention, DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan DiDio said a "prominent" DC character will come out of the closet soon, being their first gay super hero.So any guesses on who it is? As for me, I'm guessing Robin. I think a lot more happens in the Batcave than Batman cares to admit.

Yeah, Robin has always seemed pretty gay. I can't really think of anyone else. Would be fun if it was Batman or Joker though. But I can't really think of anyone besides Robin.

People would go batshit if it was Batman. (Didn't even try to do that).I don't understand why they'd screw with a character like that. It's not bad because they're gay, but people read the things because they like to make there own inferences about the characters and their personality. It's the same reason people don't watch movies that are based on books and why people were pissed about Dumbledore. This is clearly just a pathetic attempt for publicity in the wake of the Avengers similar to how 3 year olds act when a younger sibling is born and they're not getting 100% of the attention..

Yeah, don't understand why. Marvel has a gay superhero though, so maybe they are playing catch up.Prominent is in quotations because chances are it'll be somebody we've never heard of.

Probably wonder woman

That is Marvel, Bradster.

My guess is Aquaman. He wears a gay fish suit and he's got shitty powers, meaning that DC needs to find some way to spice up his mundane life.

and he likes a load to the face.

[David]

He would be my best guess too. Most people have heard of him, but no one really cares.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0kvdi3GGA0

Aquaman seems like a safe bet, but there are so many others to choose from.

Like Batman


Wonder Woman/Batgirl/Supergirl


Or whoever the hell these guys are.

I think Batman and Superman are safe since there would be a huge fan backlash (I think they both also dated, but I never read the actual comic books so correct me if I'm wrong). Green Lantern too, more or less.Wonder Women does live on some Amazonian island with other women. Again, she sort of holds the same "untouchable" stigma of Superman/Batman though. The Flash had a wife/fiancee or something, so I doubt it would be him either. Like you said, it will probably be someone no one knows about.

I just wanted to post that picture of Batman.Made a mistake in the original post. They've had lesbian characters before (namely Batwoman), but no male homosexuals. So chances are it'll be a guy.

Ok so from what I've read so far, Robin is a good bet, but it won't be the first Robin (Dick Grayson) as for the other robins I doubt it especially Daemon Wayne.... As for Superman and Batman they would never to do, they would need mad balls...they could find ways to go around batman though...but they wouldn't dare... it would destroy a dynasty....it enough they killed him in a series few years back and people back lashed... If anything it might be a secondary type character but has a significant role...like a different Green Lantern considering they're so many of them.But I don't know why but I have a feeling it's going to be a girl :/ like batgirl in fact i wouldn't be surprised if it's batgirlas for Aquaman....just leave him...he sucks enough
