Faster than bullets, yes. But Superman, gay? No way - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060610/people_nm/leisure_superman_dc_1): "LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - After weeks of Internet buzzing that the new Superman movie portrays the Man of Steel as gay, the director of the film issued a strong denial on Friday and said it was the most heterosexual character he has filmed.
Superman 'is probably the most heterosexual character in any movie I've ever made,' said
Bryan Singer, director of 'Superman Returns,' a new movie about the crime-fighting superhero that opens June 28. 'I don't think he's ever been gay.'
In recent months, the movie's ability to lure its target audience has been questioned by Internet buzz probing the superhero's sexuality.
Young men are the movie's target audience and the film needs to attract millions of them to earn a profit and relaunch the 'Superman' film franchise.
A major gay magazine, The Advocate, ran a cover story with the headline: 'How Gay is Superman,' and the Los Angeles Times weighed in with its own story on whether being gay might hinder or help the movie's box office receipts."
If he's not gay, then why do they have to issue a denial? It would really explain a lot, like why he never got it on with Lois Lane or Lana.
