Dean Cain is under no circumstances impressed by DC Comics’ resolution to create the next Superman bisexual. In fact, at some level of an look on “Fox & Chums” on Tuesday, the actor outright called the different “bandwagoning.”
On Monday, DC introduced that Jonathan Kent will come out in an upcoming living of the silly “Superman: Son of Kal-El” Quantity 5, and enter into a relationship with friend Jay Nakamura. But for Cain, who performed the Man of Metallic in “Lois & Clark: The Unique Adventures of Superman” from 1993-97 and voiced Jonathan Kent in the gripping “DC Wide Hero Girls” gripping tasks, the resolution doesn’t seem all that groundbreaking.
“They said it’s a intrepid new direction, I relate they’re bandwagoning,” the actor said. “Robin correct came out as bi, who’s in actual fact anxious about that one? The brand new Captain The US is pleased. My daughter in [The CW’s] ‘Supergirl’, the secure I performed the father, became pleased.”
“So I don’t mediate it’s intrepid or heroic or some crazy new direction,” he continued. “Within the event that they’d carried out this 20 years in the past, presumably that will presumably presumably be intrepid or heroic.”
Cain even went to this level as to point out that a bisexual Superman in the comics would possibly perchance presumably be performative, and that he’d reasonably behold this Jonathan Kent in actual fact combating for pleased rights outdoors the U.S.
“Intrepid would possibly perchance presumably be having him combating for the rights of pleased of us in Iran the secure they’ll throw you off a constructing for the offense of being pleased,” Cain said. “They’re talking about having him fight climate replace and the deportation of refugees and he’s relationship a hacktivist, whatever a hactivist is. Why don’t they’ve him fight the injustices that created the refugees whose deportation he’s protesting? That will presumably be heroic, I’d learn that. Or combating for the rights of girls folks to support college and revel in the flexibility to work and live and boys not to be raped by men under the new warm and fuzzy Taliban. That will presumably be heroic. There’s proper fallacious on this world on the present time, proper corruption and authorities overreach, a broad range of issues to fight in opposition to.”
