DC Comics have shared the first look and preview at November's Superman: Son of Kal-El #5, in which the new Superman of Earth (Jon Kent) comes out as bisexual.
Jon – the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane – will "find his identity" in the new comic, falling for a reporter (just like his dad) in the form of Jay Nakamura. The pair will "be romantically involved" in the comic, with writer Tom Taylor enthusing of this direction for the hero: "I've always said everyone needs heroes and everyone deserves to see themselves in their heroes and I’m very grateful DC and Warner Bros. share this idea.
"Superman's symbol has always stood for hope, for truth and for justice. Today, that symbol represents something more. Today, more people can see themselves in the most powerful superhero in comics."
