"Unless you're John Constantine" is probably a smart clause to have added onto that given what normally happens to his friends.

Batman being the straight man in a Constantine team up worked surprisingly well and it's totally a thing they should revisit in his own comics.

Also, isn't it weird Batman and Superman hasn't met/teamed up with Apollo/Midnighter? Think if the possibilities of that one!

Duh, but are the higher-ups/marketing ok with that? Play one note wrong and it becomes a Fox News punching bag for a month. Sounds like "any publicity is good publicity" PR but if it dents Wal-Mart T-Shirt sales in Oklahoma then Time Warner will think twice.

I wish comics just accepted the subtext as text already, let Bats & Supes be bisexual so they can retain their history without hamfistedly revealing it all to be an act like Iceman.

There is no subtext about Bats & Supes sexuality that the reader is not reading into (unless you count the whole crazy "Batman and Joker love each other" thing, in which case, ew) and turning them bi would be just as bad as the whole hamfisted "I read your mind" poo poo they did with Iceman.

It's kind of hosed up that moral guardians would get more pissy about a gay superhero couple appearing in a book with Batman and Superman than the story where Spider-Man sold his marriage to Satan. You'd think the godbothers would have opinions on that.

Spidey sold his marriage to Mephisto, who is just one of a bunch of demon/devil-type extradimensional entities in the Marvel universe.

As an Oklahoma native who does in fact own a Batman shirt I did in fact buy at Walmart I would be fine with Batman being gay. It does seem a little pointless considering his romantic life is a barren wasteland regardless of the gender he's going after. And Midnighter existing also makes gay Batman kind of superfluous.

Yes. You also run into the problem of two characters who have been portrayed as friends for decades (different degrees of friendship, but friendship none the less) being turned to lovers just smacks of the worst example of shipping. (Characters spending time together? It must be because they want to jump each others bones!)

This I do agree with, without invalidating my above point.
Because not only does Tim have a connection with Kon, he also has these traits that Batman/Superman lack.

Like how Tim has this bizarre aura of celibacy around everyone (even his girlfriend. )
But when Superboy dies he is all tears and "I must violate God's Laws to bring him back!"

Exactly. Tim being gay works surprisingly well, to the point I am surprised they didn't go with it during the reboot. Although I suppose it would lead to the whole "Lonely bachelor spends his time hanging around a gay teen" angle that they're probably very keen on avoiding.

Edit: It's apparently totally ok for him to gently caress his protegè if it's Barbara though. Ew.

I vaguely recall one of the crossovers featuring The Daily Bugle-Star and Perry and Jonah were co-EICs, and during some major event Perry is yelling for Clark to go cover the story and Jonah is roaring at Peter to go with him and take photographs :3:
