BATMAN IS PRETTY GAY: QUEER REPRENTATN COMICS & THE DARK KNIGHT
Led by the efforts of a Rsian ic book rear, a small group of fans is petng DC Comics to make The Joker gay 'aga'. A group of DC Comics fans is petng the publisher to "make The Joker gay aga. " To be clear, gay, this stance, is reference to The Joker beg portrayed as a homosexual man.
The petn asserts The Joker was portrayed as homosexual for at least half of his 80-pl years of existence and that Batman: The Animated Seri "retnned his homosexualy" by troducg Harley Qun as a love tert.
The fact of the matter is that there is ltle textual evince as to The Joker's sexual orientatn one way or the other, so there is no way to make him "gay aga" when there's ltle evince he was ever gay the first place. Instead, seems possible that this petn may be an effort by trolls to tie one of fictn's most famo serial killers to the ancient stereotype of homosexual men as predatory creatur.
IS THE JOKER GAY, BISEX, OR STRAIGHT?
It seems dub that any LGBTQ ic fan would quote the notorly homophobic Frank Miller's take on anythg as the gospel tth or that they would so sually dismiss Harley Qun as a beard for The Joker, given the character's own long history as a LGBTQ in. Wh the recent passg of Kev Conroy, the voice of the ped csar Batman: The Animated Seri and gay in, felt like a good time to discs LGBTQIA+ reprentatn ic books, specifilly Superhero ics. Lookg past the tastels jok about Bce spendg all of his time wh an old Brish man and a speedo-clad boy he kept a ve, there has always been a homoerotic subtext to Batman.
