Which dc superhero is gay

That changed in , when Justice League of America and Supergirl writer Steve Orlando was called upon to write a limited series which would conclude the New 52 romance between Midnighter and Apollo. Orlando introduces us to a Gregorio De La Vega who acts more demure with age, but who holds no less power. He has made his home in Peru, where he practices powerful magic, and raises a young angelic daughter with his husband, Hugh—heavily implied to be Tasmanian Devil of the Global Guardians.

This reckoning is resolved in one of two ways. Nakamura is also revealed to have special powers. Recent issues have seen him protesting against the deportation of refugees, stopping a high school shooting and trying to put out wildfires that were the cause of the climate crisis. Today, that symbol represents something more. Today, more people can see themselves in the most powerful superhero in comics.

Gotham City has slowly become a much queerer place since her introduction, but mostly with villains and secondary characters.

The subtext of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy was finally allowed to be text in the early s. Before she nearly married Batman, Catwoman briefly had a girlfriend. Midnighter became a recurring supporting character in Nightwing stories.

At the same time, Tim Drake was struggling to find a new editorial niche in Batman stories. Dick Grayson was the original Robin. Jason Todd was the Robin who died. More independent than Dick and more empathetic than Jason, Tim simply was Robin for two decades of readers, as well as the enormous audience of Batman: The Animated Series.

That alone could be enough to make him a point of identification for queer fans.
