Did you know that Superman’s son is bisexual? So is Batman’s sidekick, Robin, and lots of other superheroes created by Marvel and DC Comics.

Look, down in the sewer! It's a rat! It's a turd! No, it's woke Superman sales! The decline of woke comic book sales is a hopeful omen that the progressive utopia will not be achieved. According to nerd culture outlet BoundingIntoComics.com, DC Comics’ recent attempts to turn beloved character Superman into a progressive pansy who’s too ashamed to fight for truth, justice and the American way…

Have you ever wanted to go back in time and do something differently?
