AC/DC

Here's another in the never-ending series of articles about the sexuality of some super-hero, in this case Batwoman. This essay is rather funny but for the most part, I have little interest in any of these pieces that don't address the matter as what it usually is: A marketing gimmick. And I think the author is fundamentally correct or darn close when she says that in comics these days, if not in life, "You are either a midriff-bearing, gum-snapping, engagement ring-chasing girly girl or you are a probable lesbian."

Of course, it's not much better for men in comics: You can either be a tortured hero or a tortured villain…or sometimes, both. Or I guess you can be gay, too. So maybe they do have a few more options.
