Why the new DC Comics Batgirl will be openly lesbian? I asked this question earlier and I have not had a response straitforward
Batwoman, Batgirl and not so, it will be open about her sexuality.
[Update]
Oh, you wanted to know why! The article I read said they wanted to attract new audiences to their comics. Lesbians Batwoman is just one way to do it. Personally, I think they are just hoping to get their constituency base * oversexed high school boys to buy a comic every month.
* Warning: I was a member of this constituency, but when I turned 23 my girlfriend has an embargo on the comic.
yes
Why do not we need a hero lesbians
RU serious
It is better that his fall from a roof to his death.
Wow, I did not know that. It is very progressive of them. Comics have always tried to reflect a modern society, so that's probably why. Have you read the comics of the 60s? They are hilarious.
I did not know they were doing that, seems pretty cool.
Well, your question should be why, but why not soooner?
Completely ridiculus. No way I see it.
It looks like a desperate attempt to get the market to buy DC comics. Their films do not do as well as Marvel and mainly in comic stores are not as crowded as they used to be.
Batgirl is not a lesbian. Batwoman is a lesbian. They are two different characters. The comic industry has had its share of openly gay characters. A few years ago, Rawhide Kid was the story of a superhero gay cowboy. He got some press, but not as much as I saw on Batwoman. The DC said this week, I saw television news reports and radio ads every hour of prime time discussing this. So why the controversy? Why now? Because Batwoman will be a main character in the world of Batman, and will be fully affiliated with Batman. Not only as a companion, but as an ally of Batman's war on crime.
To answer your question .... for votes. Also, why not be a lesbian? Is it important?
BD sells more.
Batgirl has been rumored (probably jokingly) of being a lesbian. While Barbara Gordon has had close friends of women (pre-crisis Supergirl) there is nothing to suggest that these relationships were sexual. Whatsmore, chemistry has been demonstrated between her and Robin in each incarnation. In addition, it was not vulnerable to Poison Ivy in the movie - so its reasonable to believe that it is completely heterosexual.
I found this on a website. except I do not agree with her. I think it could be bisextual. which is worse. As for the comic good. people are so degrading when you think, as its low how can you go, eh.?
To sell comics for lesbians.
They want him to look modern, and since gays and lesbians are very open in these days, they want to do comedy political correctness, and the 21st century.
She was born this way!
In fact, you're wrong ... is Batwoman, Batgirl NOT. Batgirl is his niece. Well, it is and has always been a lesbian since she was created back in the 50s (I think, give or take a few years). Anyway, she has been labeled lesbian lipstick. AS FOR THE WHY? comic creators always wanted to represent things in their books that are being or cause controvewrsy or "top secret" in the real world. That way readers can relate and want to read more books. Thus, his sexuality was just one other question fhtose o. As for his reasons: it's like out in public and asking a gay or lesbian why they are gays. It's one of those things that did not answer the comic world because it is so obvious that the creators do not even want dignity with an answer.
will we have to see her make love to his arch-NEMISIS, stickythatch.
I do not know. Period. I did not m.
