As far as this kind of stuff goes, I think bisexuality should given a pass. Unless a character has explicitly mentioned not being into a certain gender, then it doesn't necessarily go against continuity.

You can read articles on climate change for free, skip that condescending comic and read the articles on climate change instead. Comics are for escapism not news.

But Superman can single handedly change the climate to whatever he wants... nothing he does on a Clark Kent level could possibly matter.

You mean in the respect that they are being used in order to propagate some political agenda, rather than to entertain the masses.

And they still wonder why audiences are dwindling far, far, far faster than the ice caps.

Clark Kent

It's actually one of his sons, John or Jordan, I forget which. I know it's not Conner because he's technically a clone of Kal-El and Lex Luthor.

Because corporations also exist, and super heroes follow the law of the land (mostly); anytime Dr. Isley tries to take polluting corporations down, she gets a face full of batarangs. (Ace Chemicals has got to be a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises)

Now if it was Injustice Superman, he would have no problem melting the faces of polluters until the problem was solved.

It's not Clark Kent anyways. It's his son. I'm assuming it's similar for gay aquaman.

Aqualad has been gay since his inception and Jon Kent isn't even the original Superman. These are completely new people taking on the mantle.

Also heroes taking on shit like, drugs, corruption in politics, racism or global climate change isn't new.

Why does this topic exist? Other than TC randomly showing everyone passive aggressive homophobia?

Speaking of Climate Change - I recently watched Special of Saturday Night Live and they showed an old sketch from seventies or eighties. And in it they were all practically crying about how bad environment got and how all live on Earth could end at any moment. And I thought "maybe we overreacting a bit here".

No, he's hinting at Aquaman.

This too. Many major comics have have been known to take on issues facing the real world, either in-universe or metaphorically like with the X-Men. If anybody says that kind of thing is new, they haven't been paying attention.

DC does have A Thor but he's not a major character like in Marvel

Forced political agendas in Comics or any media has always pissed me off because usually how much it ruins it.

Though if you want a good story whose underlying themes are climate change, watch Ragnarok on Netflix, its great.

ya know what would be an interesting arc for Superman (kal-el/Clark Kent)? Is if after all the years of fighting crime he's struggling with issues of mortality in his old age and is essentially going through the same character arc Bruce Wayne does in Batman Beyond

They have stories like that. Like the sequel to Kingdom Come that takes place 1000 years in the future.
