In celebration of National Coming Out Day, DC announced that Jon Kent, the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane will be coming out as bisexual in the new comic issue of Superman: Son of Kal-El #5.
“Just like his father before him, Jon Kent has fallen for a reporter; after initially striking up a friendship with reporter Jay Nakamura, he and Jon become romantically involved in the pages of Superman: Son of Kal-El #5.” The description of the issue adds that “Following a scene where Superman (Jon Kent) mentally and physically burns out from trying to save everyone that he can, Jay is there to care for the Man of Steel.”
According to Variety, the new series which got underway back in July will follows young Jon — who is the new Superman.
This big move also comes just two months after Batman’s sidekick Tim Drake, aka Robin, came out as bisexual in the latest comic series, “Batman: Urban Legends.”
