It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Gay Superman!!

Now I remember why I love living in the US so much. It's the ass-backwardsness of so many things. In an attempt to get people excited over a new movie, production companies will release posters, trailers, and other tidbits of information. Sometimes so much information that it beats the general public down from a possible frenzy of excitement into a zombified submission. Now with this new Superman movie underway, the hype has gone in a new direction. As Mike would put it, it's the 47 direction. That's right, Superman looks pretty gay lately. And dammit, it's about time! Last month, DC comics dropped the bomb that Batwoman would be returning as a lesbian. Much to the delight of lesbian comic-readers and 14-year old boys. In an attempt to top that, there has been much written about how damn gay Superman looks in the new posters and trading cards. There's even one card where Superman is supposedly "going into the closet." Dood. If closeting yourself can be described as standing in front of a door, holding the handle, then I guess Superman is closeted. I think it's all wishful thinking. If Superman really wanted to out himself, he wouldn't need stupid trading cards to pussyfoot around for him. He'd just dive on into the ocean, push Tusky out of the way, and plant one right on Aquaman's pruny, waterlogged lips. Now that's some man-on-man action I'd like to see.
