There’s been a lot of buzz about DC revealing a “major” gay superhero character and the first thing I could thing was…
Hello! Apollo and The Midnighter!
It’s supposed to be one of the mainstreamers. :P I’m kind of excited to find who it is. For some reason, I really want it to be Selena or Ollie.
From what I’ve seen, there’s two camps. The people who swear up and down it’s Batman and Robin *eye roll* and everyone else who thinks DC’s gonna pull a fast one, which is why I put major in quotations. It can’t be the mainstays -Batman, Superman, The Flash (Barry, Wally, Jay, whoever is big in the issues they’re doing) or one the other BIG names. DC’s smart, they’re not gonna want backlash. So it’s gotta be a character that’s recognizable but not a fourth string bench warmer, in case the backlash comes from the other end. Which leaves who, Cyborg, Firestorm, or maybe a new Lantern. Nightwing… I mean, NPH did his voice in Under The Red Hood. Made him into a Chatty Cathy but it was still good, it’s doable (and believable) and he’s known enough to be “major” but not a staple of DC’s line-up.
