So I am looking at Sweety’s copy of Entertainment Weekly. It has that Superman guy on the cover and he looks very pretty and airbrushed. I have been against this thing from day one because it isn’t easy to find a good Superman and they picked this guy for the wrong reasons; namely, how his crotch looks. Most comic book fans are men … and most men are heterosexual … so, like the disaster that was George Clooney in Batman, making him gay will not appeal much to the fan base. It will just give me something to joke about for ten years.
“I am not sure this gay Superman thing is going to sell,” I mutter.
“Is he gay?” she asks.
“Well, … ”
She stops me. “I am looking for facts here, not ‘Oh, they didn’t pick me to be Superman so this guy must be gay.’ ”
Grrrr. I hate that kind of argument. Like I know any facts.
