Matt Bomer’s Gay Superhero in ‘Doom Patrol’ is ‘More Interesting’ Than Superman: WATCH

In DC Universe's Doom Patrol, Matt Bomer plays Larry, a closeted fighter pilot who becomes a superhero after an accident disfigures him and he loses his wife and kid as well as his lover on the airbase. Post-accident, Larry is played by actor Matthew Zuk but still voiced by Bomer.

At an advance press screening on Tuesday Bomer spoke about playing the character.

Variety reports that Bomer said he feels the character is “more interesting” than Superman, a role for which he seems to be made: ‘It's not like voicing animation, it's a true collaboration in that I just throw spaghetti at the wall, Matthew does his stuff, and we go back and polish it at the end. I'd never really seen a gay male superhero and what I love most about the character is that even though it's a huge struggle internally for him, it's not the sole thing that defines who he is, he's such a multifaceted character, if it was just one stereotypical aspect of him I would have had reservations about it.'
