O-O I don't think that's meant be what it sounds like. Buy lol, yes, Batman paternal relationship with the Robins, Tim Drake and Dick Grayson in particular, has always been jokingly misinterpreted. There is something pedoe-y about adopting boys off the streets and getting them to wear a slightly kinky skintight outfit.
Since @Kingtype brought up WWII buddies...What happens in the foxhole/trenches stays in the foxhole/trenches.(just sayin) Though I have to say if any super hero should be portrayed as gay, it should be Batman. Dude has so many cool gadgets and to play with.
Stucky definitely works better in the movieverse rather than the comicsverse. I think it's the one people focus on because the movies have a wider range of fans than the comics. The movies are more self contained, and a person can get them watched in a day, while seventy years of comics are a much bigger task. So, yeah, in the comics, Stony is more likely than Stucky, but for the movies, Stucky is firmly in the lead. In DC, I ship Bat Man and Superman, with Robin as their adopted son.
yeah, this exists (and yes, within Norse Pagan beliefs there is nothing strictly wrong with gay relationships, just a question of being laughed at if you are on the receiving end of something rather hard in this kind of relationship...) and between listening to Rammstien and reading this entire thread, I'm getting reminded of my main series... and how much better i need to write the particular thread that this topic somewhat covers...
Yes, if there was ever a time to experiment with homosexual activity, it's when you might not have another chance. And in an tight, dark space with other men.
The above dynamic being hilariously spoofed in Venture Brothers. (amongst many other venues) But, misinterpreted....? This almost ties over into the thread currently running about what theme is. Whether it's intentional or simply coincidental, if it's there enough for people to regularly pick up on it, then it's there. The Venture Brothers itself is a sly spoof on the original Jonny Quest animated series from the 1960's, which, when the latter is viewed through modern eyes, looks exactly like a boy's adventure show based on a loving gay couple, their son Jonny (who they grew in a lab), and their adopted son, Hadji. Now, is that misinterpretation, is it subtext....? We can argue that 'till the cows come home. What is an undisputed fact is that when the show got rebooted in the mid-80's, the producers were quick to fill in the missing matrimonial backstory for Dr. Quest (aka, Dr. DILF) and a female love interest for Race Bannon (aka, Muscle Hubby). Or to put it another way: If I'm Dr. Quest up there with my test tubes and equipment and I accidentally produce hydrogen sulfide gas, I can't really argue away the fact of the gas by saying that I intended to produce something else. If it's hydrogen sulfide, it's hydrogen sulfide.
All this sexuality talk and shipping talk of characters who are gay and straight. I don't understand the big deal There are more important things to worry about regarding the Marvel and DC movies..... Spider-Man is just hitting puberty and this is a very confusing time for him. You're just making things more difficult for him.
Wait, we have been forgetting about someone. Catwoman is a lesbian too. Edit: Batwoman is the lesbian.
No, I'm pretty sure this is worse: "Watch our show, we have lesbians!" *kills all the lesbians* "We don't see the characters as lesbians, but as people..."
Isn't Barbara Gordon bisexual? I remember there's a picture of her in the comics, leaning back against- Black Canary? Honestly, I feel like there are plenty of homosexual superheroes, we just don't see them since they're just kinda in the margins for most people. If you asked a guy on the street about superheroes, they would think of the Avengers, or Superman, or Batman, not the quieter ones.
I don't know about Barbara Gordon, but Batwoman/Kate Kane is. And Poison Ivy is confirmed to be an item with Harley Quinn. Edit: messed up. Kate is a lesbian, not bisexual.
I think her sexuality was called into question, but I honestly don't know. Kane I knew about, she's a badass. Ivy and Quinn I'm glad are a thing. Those two becoming a couple really worked for both of their characters, and it keeps Harley out of Joker's abusive reach.
