We need to get this straight (no pun intended) right now for those of you who only follow Superman outside of comics and are hearing that Superman is now bisexual. It isn’t the regular Superman, Clark Kent, who DC comics has decided is now into both dudes and chicks but his son, Jon Kent. If you only know Jon from the CW show…well that your mistake. Being more Superman than Zac Snyder’s version still isn’t Superman enough. Clark and Lois only have the one son, who was slowly getting superpowers like his dad, and has now been aged up because shenanigans and taken over the name Superman. Now that we’re all on that page, let’s get into the real problem.

First off, I want to go on the record with my stance on Jon Kent’s “coming out” at the hands of the writers and possibly either DC editorial or someone at WarnerMedia. My personal official opinion as a long time Superman fan is…I honestly don’t care. The Jon Kent I wanted to read about was left behind when Brian Michael Bendis decided to age the character up for no good reason. The stories and friendship with fellow Super-Son Damian “Robin” Wayne (no, he’s not the Robin that also went bisexual recently) was tossed out the window. Tales where Superman teaches his son how to use his powers were shredded. Family moments with the Kents or Jon growing up and having his own circle of people in school and life issues as both Superman’s son and his own developing powers got hit with Kryptonite. What DC is shelling out now is a namesake, a replacement for the real Jon Kent. I have shown how this can be fixed.

I guess older Jon needed a GPS to his home dimension.

However, DC isn’t going to do that. So what’s the real problem to me if I don’t care what they do to I-Can’t-Believe-It’s-Not-Jon-Kent? That DC Comics is using the representation shield to, and this is going to sound like a conspiracy theory but here me out, hide what their real game is…and the internet is falling for it hook, line, and sinker.
