While some speculation has centred on these announcements coming after U.S. It could also be a villain, such as the Joker. It also depends on how you define ‘iconic’ as other possibles include Cyborg and Black Lightning. Some of the characters that have been mentioned online as possibilities include the Wally West version of the Flash, Green Lantern, of which there are many characters who have held the ring, or The Atom, a shrinking hero who has been AWOL since the reboot. Executive editor Dan Didio said that a character who was heterosexual prior the New 52 relaunch will become “one of our most prominent gay characters.”Īs well, Batman writer Scott Snyder, who clarified on Twitter that it’s not Bruce Wayne, emphasized the quote “a character not seen since the relaunch will come out as gay.” DC did kick off the New 52 last year, resetting character continuity and allowing changes to their history and storylines.įans have been parsing many of DC’s statements about who it could be. As well, The Question, a character who was revamped a few years ago, was a lesbian character named Renee Montoya. Speculation is going on many geek sites on who it might be after Courtney Simmons, senior vice-president, publicity for DC told ABC News, “One of the major iconic DC characters will reveal that he is gay in a storyline in June.”ĭC already has some major gay characters, including the recent Kate Kane version of Batwoman. Hot on the heels of Marvel Comics announcing that Northstar, a Canadian super speed powered member of the X-Men will be having a gay wedding in New York in an upcoming issue, DC Comics announced that an iconic character will also be revealed to be gay in the coming months. Back in 1992, Marvel Comics made headlines by revealing that Northstar, a Canadian superhero associated with Alpha Flight and the X-Men, was gay. Consider it an arms race for tolerance amongst the major comics publishers, although to be fair, Archie beat both Marvel and DC to the punch.
