Jesus, what a lovely Superman he makes. I hope the curse doesn't get him.

I think I like the new super-suit; it's more in keeping with various, modern athletic outfits and it eliminates the dorky red jockeys that Superman was born with. And I'm glad that Superman finally has a crotch bulge! ... even if it means more silly speculation about exactly how he can have sex with a human...

J H Robbins -- that's what's being done in a lot of new series and reboots: of the new Teen Titans, one is African American, and one is Mexican -- and gay. In the latest story arc of Astonishing X-Men, aside from the two gay characters (one of whom is black, although not a superhero), one is half Vietnamese, one is Latina. (It's worth noting that in superhero comics, gay characters are now a dime a dozen.) The leader of the New Avengers is Luke Cage, who is black, as is Patriot of the Young Avengers.
And Brenda and David: it's a given in superhero comics that you have to be faithful to the continuity. If you make abrupt changes to a character or his or her history, the world will end -- at least for you. That's why DC went back to the original Green Lantern, Alan Scott, to bring out a gay superhero -- they had room to introduce that element there without violating his continuity.

Seriously people..
It's a realization on a comic character
It's based in fantasy
Why is it a requirement to pick it apart
Ugly costume, padded costume..on and on
Accept it for what it is
If you don't like the idea, the costume..the actor or whatever issue you can find move on to something that actually requires your thoughtful and labored consideration.
