Mag Asks 'How Gay Is Superman?'
By JAKE TAPPER
ABCNews.com
(June 20) — He's clearly into fitness, and splashy summer colors.


The new film about the Man of Steel, "Superman Returns" -- which comes out, er, on June 28 -- is being advertised on Logo, the gay and lesbian cable TV channel. Now, the gay magazine, The Advocate, is asking "How Gay Is Superman?"

The Advocate isn't really questioning whether Brandon Routh's 'Superman' is gay, but making the analogy that his secret life relates to those of gays and lesbians.

Executives from Warner Bros. are not happy with the 'Brokeback'-esque publicity the article has generated.

Director Bryan Singer, who is gay, says Superman 'is probably the most heterosexual character in any movie I've ever made.'

The film and character has also drawn parallels to the portrayal of Jesus Christ.

A 2002 issue of the Journal of Religion and Film alleges 20 Superman-Jesus parallels.

Superman can kick anybodys ass. Even if he was gay, he still could, so STFU.

I didn't say he was. Unless you were "talking" to the magazine.

Boondock Saint 06-23-2006 05:09 AM

Yeah I was. Sorry.

Jeff Hardy would wreck Supermans shit cause Jeff Hardy dont die.

Super heroes can't be gay. Look at Batman and Robin, there's no homosexuality there.

Kane Knight 06-24-2006 12:33 AM

They just did the same thing with X-Men, and that analogy probably fits better.

So everyone in the usual suspects is gayer then Superman?

Kane Knight 06-24-2006 12:55 AM

He obviously hasn't seen a John Wayne movie before.

Blitz 06-24-2006 01:49 AM

I had no idea Singer was gay.

mitchables 06-24-2006 02:23 AM

Yeah, news to me that Singer digs the cock. :\

i think that Superman basically sucks. i think that the idea of a hero without flaws basically sucks.

Batman or Spidey >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Superman

Kane Knight 06-28-2006 09:13 PM

How can it be the rarest? Every Tom Dick and Harry gets it.

And don't get me started on Smallville...

I personally loved the movie. I have really hated most superhero movies that have come out recently, but this one was really good.

I give it a 9 out of 10. I think they did a good job of staying true to what Superman was always like, and finding out that the kid was really Superman's son was a huge twist. Didn't see that coming. <---Spoiler

I'm also curious.. Spoiler question --> Was the kid immune to kryptonite because he was half human or something? I noticed he didn't really seem to be effected the same as Superman was.

Yeah, 9/10

Someone should start up a thread for us people to just talk about the movie, with a spoilers warning in the title.

I saw Superman today. IMAX, 3D, larger than life, and when I left I thought that Jay Sherman said it best. IT STINKS!!!!

Fuck me, I can't believe I wasted 12 bucks on this! IMAX even made the remake of Planet Of The Apes look good! The 3D was horrible, and the movie was predictable!

Spoiler Answer
My knee jerk reaction is "Because you touch yourself at night." In all honesty since the kid isn't totally whatever the hell Superman was he got to live.
Well, you can't win 'em all. I just hope when I see Pirates 2 next week it'll be better, since I'm already going to see it twice.

He's not gay - if he was he would have better fashion sense.

So Superman's flying over Palm Beach, looking for crooks or cats stuck in trees, when he sees Wonder Woman sunning herself down on the beach totally naked. He thinks to himself, "I'm Superman. I'm faster than a speeding bullet. I could race down there, fuck her real fast, then be out of there before she even knew what happend." Superman readied his super penis, sped down to Earth, fucked her, blew in her and took off so fast she didn't know what hit her.

Wonder Woman blinked and pulled off her sunglasses. "What the hell was that?"

The Invisible Man crawled off her and exclaimed "I don't know, but my asshole is really sore all of a sudden."
