Superman is Gay?


Warner Brothers really, really, really doesn't want you to think Superman is gay. Which is rather strange, I think (apart from the costume), Superman is probably the straightest of all the superheros... he has a girl and just doesn't seem like the sensitive type. Unlike for example... Batman, has a young boy following him around, dresses in rubber and can't keep a girlfriend. I think Warner Brothers are more worried that Superman is a gay man fantasty... A straight, wholesome, country boy just waiting to be corrupted.

The main thing they are worried about is that the film has a gay director (that claims that this is the straightest character he's created), Kevin Spacey (still think he's queer and his over-the-top, camp performance in the trailers add to that), all those rumours about the size of Brandon Routh's dick and how it bulged in the skin tight costume.... of course it would, anything would in that costume. And no, I don't believe they had to make it look smaller with CGI.

Another gay connection is the casting of Ian Roberts (pictured below) as one of Lex Luthor's evil henchman. For those who don't know, Ian was a high profile, Aussie football player in the nineties, when at the pinnacle of his career, he identified as gay. He now has a boyfriend, hung up his boots, studied acting and this could well be his breakthrough role.

Anything would be better than his appearance on Blue Heelers, an Aussie cop drama, or Dancing With The Stars. I was quite suprised he was cast in Superman, I hadn't heard anything about it. Obviously its a small role that they could keep it a bit quiet.
