Robin Is Officially DC’s Newest Openly Gay Superhero
DC Comics just added to its roster of openly LGBTQ+ characters, exposing that one of its most legendary male heroes dates men. In a new issue of anthology comic Batman: Urban Legends, Robin, the longstanding sidekick to the Caped Crusader, comes out of the closet.
In a story entitled 'The Sum of Our Parts' by writer Meghan Fitzmartin and artist Belén Ortega, Robin, a.k.a. Tim Drake, is shown having dinner with his ally Bernard. The evening is soon interrupted by a baddie who kidnaps Bernard, leading Tim to don his superhero costume and store his friend. Bernard, not knowing that Robin is actually Tim, then remarks to his rescuer that he wishes he'd been fit to finish his date, prompting Robin to do some thinking.
The installment ends with Tim visiting Bernard and explaining that he is still unsure "what it meant" to have dinner with him. When Tim then asks outright, "Do you wish to go on a date with me?", Tim answers truthfully: "Yeah... Yeah. I think I want that."

The latest issue of Superman: Son of Kal-El is coming out in November. And, with it comes the arrival of a new “21st Century Superman”, written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by John Timms that has had a lot of hype.
