Interesting read, below is a brief excerpt of the article:

The DC Batwoman comic character is a lesbian and now DC plans to make a mainstream super hero a gay character

Since Superman is the most successful comic character in the DC universe and is married it will not be him.

Batman has a son, and while that speculation (Gay) could have been possible during the mid-sixties with the TV show starring Adam West, it is also not likely given the number of comic titles and movies Batman is involved in.

Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) just received a revival and with other Lantern’s such as John Stewart it is possible, but unlikely DC would “out” him.

The Flash has gone through several transformations. He was scientist Barry Allen, then he died and his sidekick Wally West (Kid Flash) became the Flash. Never a strong enough comic book character to be considered irreplaceable he could be a possibility.

Aquaman also has not been a character capable of supporting sales for an extended period of time in his own comic book. He is married to Meara, which could present another issue altogether.

Wonder Woman has been a heroine since Nazi’s represented a real American threat, and is almost as strong as Superman. She grew up on Paradise Island with all women and men are forbidden on the Island. There is a possibility it could be her.

If anybody else is able to pull some information about this it would be interesting to see. I am curious as to how this will affect the brand, will the gay character be in the next movie. Since Marvel is blowing up with the Avengers, just wondering what would happen if one of the X-men was gay in the next movie in that franchise, would there be more people or less people watching......

Lol. DC and gay just make so much sense.

By in all seriousness, if they're doing this just for the publicity or to make some dumb political statement then shame on them.

Why not just create a new character if they wanted have a gay character?
