Bleeding Cool has two articles of interest to me this morning, one being the news that DC has back-tracked from their policy of not altering characters' sexuality in the new 52 just because retarded (yeah, that word's still in use, deal with it PC police) people demand more "diversity" for diversity's sake:
Surprisingly, DiDio stated that they had changed DC’s policy in this regard. And they are about to reintroduce a previously existing DC character who was previously straight and now will be “one of our most prominent gay characters.”
What are we thinking? While Clark show up with a bedazzled S logo? Are they taking Grant Morrison's Playboy article about how ridiculously gay Batman is to heart? Or are they gonna give a C-list hero a chance at the big leagues just because of who they sleep with? Probably the latter. My money's on Booster Gold. I mean just look at the guy. Plus he's from the future, and writers are always telling us how sexually enlightened the future is, where we'll all live with Captain Jack and River Song in healthy open group relationships. Perhaps we could start looking backwards--Ancient Greece was pretty open-minded, maybe Wonder Woman could snap stigma's neck once and for all. She did grow up on an exclusively female-warrior island after all.
The other article was about the Avengers Blu-Ray/DVD, out in September, the details about which have been released. Read on for that and preview of Mark Waid's final Irredeemable issue.

BC provides some interesting theories, such as One Shot being either another Coulson short film, or the rumored "some Ant-Man" scenes that Edgar Wright has supposedly shot this year already.
I'm pretty curious about the Maria Hill interrogations--is she the one in the hot seat, or does she perhaps get to do post-mission briefings and question individual Avengers on their performance and mental status? Long way to go before we find out, and I'm in no rush--I still need to see it for my 2nd and 3rd time in theatres.
And now, preview pages from the final issue of Irredeemable, the pretty fantastic Boom! comic by Mark Waid about a Superman gone psycho after hearing all our whispered judgments. He fairly ruined the world, his old friends and teammates fought back, a lot of stuff happened, and it was a good ride. But now it's down to Plutonian and Qubit, cause of course it is. Even Modeus couldn't outwit Qubit, so here's hoping for a happy ending. Either way, yet another book that reaffirms Waid's spot on the top of the writing heap.
