Italian author Marco Mancassola’s “Erotic Lives of the Superheroes” novel depicts Batman and Robin as a  bickering gay couple whose sex life has gone flat.  Batman has been “outed” as an aging homosexual who picks up young men for one-night stands and sits next to Sir Elton John at New York charity dinners.  In the story, Batman indulges in weird forms of fetishism and extreme sex because he’s a narcissist in love with himself, according to Mancassola.

THIS IS ANNOYING.  As a longtime fan of comics, this is not the first time American-as-apple pie literary heroes have been altered in an ugly way.  Nothing wrong with being gay, mind you, but why does a connection to homosexuality always has to have to have a sordid, in the gutter sexual element?  Why can’t a gay superhero have morality as does its heterosexual counterpart?  And why are beloved American superheroes in print media being allowed to be destroyed after their original creators have died?  Seems to be a conspiratorial attack on American culture by commies who are cashing in on degrading, demoralizing and emasculating American men’s virile, macho pop culture icons.  Leave it alone and stop trying to change things!

BATMAN IS NOT GAY.  STOP TRYING TO REWRITE HISTORY OF BELOVED AMERICAN POP CULTURE HEROES, YOU COMMIE BASTARDS!

Getting annoying and in-your-face… It is not necessary for everything to have a GAY ELEMENT, mmmkay?

“As the seconds ticked down to the start of the speech, it seemed as though Anderson Cooper and the folks at CNN were awfully reluctant to break away from the burning cabin near Big Bear where the disgruntled, unhinged ex-cop from the Los Angeles Police Department appeared to be holed up.”

PLEASE MAKE IT SO

“Someday, inevitably, this area must open up, must create another Atlantis, as the seas sweep in to swallow another mighty land.

“This is the story of how that might happen – the story of THE SECOND ATLANTIS.  It is a novel of tomorrow, a prevision of what might come.  It is a prophetic novel with an unforgettable impact.”
