The give away was in the name "Robin" for a guy...
Shit man, I’m supposed to be robin for Halloween this year. I guess I’ll go with my back up character, Dirk Diggler.
It’s going to take a lot of work piecing that shit show costume together. That may be out of my leagueI vote you go as a Ford Escape-driving, rim leaning bozo. People would laugh and point at you at every party you go to.

typical religious nut job thinking. I believe in the bible so you MUST believe in the bible or I will make you live by it anyway. Keep your religion to yourself and quit trying to foist if off on those who don't believe like you do.
What's really weird to me, though, is this funky cultural paradigm shift, in which traditional outcasts - nerds, LGBT, etc. - have the support of every major corporation, political power, and acceptance of the general populace, yet still act as if they're underdogs.
RDJ came across as a cringey reddit fedora atheist in his post, but I did like his point about making interesting new characters to represent different groups instead of just rewriting the history of an established superhero. At the end of the day, though, I can't really be bothered to care. Comic books are infantile, escapist power fantasies to begin with. I guess we shouldn't be surprised that fringe groups/social outcast types gravitate to the medium. I certainly did as a kid, for those same reasons.

DC rebooted their whole line with "New Frontier" earlier this year. The introductory issue has short stories about all of the DC Universe characters, and the original Green Lantern came out as gay. Living a triple life as a regular dude/secret superhero/secret homeaux in the 1940s could be an interesting story, but I don't really feel like spending the cash to read it. I'd hate to get invested in a story only to find out that it's yet another cynical cash grab with surface level pandering. Half the shit I see geared towards minority groups would straight-up offend me if I was in the target group.
