Well, you'll all agree while the actor may be gay, Superman himself probably doesn't even know what gay is. He is, after all, an alien. He's from Krypton, and possesses one of the most myopic points of view of humanity there ever was in superheroes. The fact is, he's dull. With him it's right or wrong, black or white, and there is very little that can disable him (kryptonite). You can slow him down, but not stop him.

Batman, on the other hand, is mentally unstable, a vigilante, hated or feared by practically everyone in Gotham, and just an all-around freak, particularly when you find he lives in a cave, relies only on his human strength (he's not a traditional "superhero"), and that his whole existence is based on the killing of his parents when he was a kid. Only because of that (his parents' murder), has Batman not gone out on his own crime/killing spree, or joined with the likes of the Joker or anyone else.

If you want extreme complexity, check out Wonder Woman.

Anyway, Superman (the film), has received lots of high praise. Supposedly it's the best of any cinematic treatment of The Man of Steel.

I expect they'll promote the ***** out of it this July at the San Diego Comic Book Convention.
