DC LGBTQ+ Characters 2021 appreciation

[Frontier]

I was thing about the Legion recently. Should XS be queer in comics like her live action counterpart is on the Flash show?

She never really had a boyfriend before. Just crushes.

I guess you could ask the same for Bart given he's dating El Dorado in Young Justice.

[ZuLuLu]

Might check out Action. Picked up Superman and the Authority and the Midnigter Annual. a lot of good books fly under the radar which is hard to see when so much crap get spotlighted simply due to penned by hottest current writer etc

Johnson takes over from Bendis in Action Comics on #1029 and from issue #1036 The Authority will be in Action Comics.

Didn't they pair her with Killer Croc in the New Adventures of Batman?

The video creator included her because they saw their personal trans experience reflected in her characterization.

El Dorado was confirmed as gay by Weisman in Young Justice but when was Bart?

them being on a date was the silent confirmation

[ZuLuLu]

El Dorado was confirmed as gay by Weisman in Young Justice but when was Bart?

In YJ episode 3x16 Static referred to himself as the "7th Wheel" when he was at the carnival with Bart, El Dorado, Beast Boy,Perdita, Blue Beetle and Traci Thirteen and spends a whole episode moaning about how he is the only one not in a relationship, and the known couples were Beast boy/Perdita and Blue Beetle /Traci Thirteen so it seemed to suggest that Bart/El Dorado were a couple.

At the start of the epidoe when Bart speed hug everyone it looks like he gave El Dorado a quick kiss on the check before resting his arms on his shoulder.

El Dorado was confirmed as gay by Weisman in Young Justice but when was Bart?

Weisman confirmed that DC didn't allow him to make Bart gay. But they didn't object making El Dorado gay so that was allowed because he is a minor character who originated from the Super Friends cartoon. Plus this version is so completely different in apperance and personality that he could be even considered a new character.

Was the Gardner confirmed?

As Beawulf said, she was confirmed as being Pamela's girlfriend in college and has a one-shot that will be out on Nov 16 that explores her past with Ivy

She is shrouded in mystery, her motives a secret, and one cannot help but ask: Who is Bella Garten, a.k.a. the Gardener, really? Green-thumbed storytellers James Tynion IV and Christian Ward dig deep into her past and unearth the secret origin of the latest addition to Batman’s rogues gallery. Learn not only how Bella Garten came to know Pamela Isley, but how she was integral to the origin of the woman who would one day be known to all as Poison Ivy.

I didn't know about this upcoming one-shot, so thanks for posting this info here!

Also, I hope that the bisexual Superman situation opens up opportunities in the sense that DC will be actively promoting not only Harley Quinn & Jon Kent as their premier queer (PR) characters, but they will also be focusing more on other LGBTQ+ characters - the more, the merrier

True. But Diana is their biggest LGBTQ+ character, but they don’t promote her as such.

[The Invincible Beawulf]

True. But Diana is their biggest LGBTQ+ character, but they don’t promote her as such.

Yeah, I totally agree with you on this. For a long time, I didn't know that Diana is non-straight - maybe in the future, DC will be brave enough to make her queerness visible.

True. But Diana is their biggest LGBTQ+ character, but they don’t promote her as such.

Catwoman is another of their most well known LGBTQ+ characters whose also not promoted that way - and the writing mostly has forgotten it.
