Bisexual Superman Fails?

 In the summer of 2021....DC Comics announced that a new storyline would occur with the comics.....Superman would flip and become bisexual.....doing both women and men.  

At the time, a fair number of people laughed over the suggestion. 

Yesterday....DC announced that bi-Superman is ended.....the December issue will be the final storyline for this episode.

September's numbers for issues sold?  It ranked for the month....at number 77 among comics worldwide....sold. 

How they will explain the 'end'?  No one says much.  Maybe he'll just wake up....brush his teeth.....watch some CNN news, and decide bi wasn't his thing.  Maybe there's some evil 'Doctor Doom' in the mix....who knocks Superman in the head and gets him back to 'straightness'.  

Looking over the profits of the past year....one can say it's marginally enough to pay the writer and artists involved.....let alone provide profits for the owners of DC. 

In a way, it's a statement about our society and how bad decisions are routinely made now.
