The recently reported that DC Comics would change the sexual orientation of one of its superheroes embodied in editorial reformulation, known as the New 52, which is submitting his whole universe of characters.

[link]The hero character is a well established and prominent part of the DC universe 72 years ago. But perhaps to avoid controversy, chosen out of the closet now lives on Earth 2, one of the alternate realities of the DC Universe. It should not be confused with the Green Lantern Hal Jordan, the protagonist of a recent film. Alan Scott came in 1940 during the so-called Golden Age of Comics, Green Lantern when he had explained his powers with a mixture of mysticism and prophecy, unlike the Green Lantern post-1959, which redefined the character anchored in science fiction space.Scott came to appear briefly in the post-start DC editorial: had a brief involvement in the first issue of Earth 2, the series that debuted this month in the U.S.A.
The novelty will appear in the edition number two of Earth 2, coming out in June in the U.S. - see the previous gallery.Meanwhile, another writer, James Robinson said: come around anymore. In an interview with The Advocate magazine, Robinson said: "There's another character [gay] later on, but it is a character that it will take to appear, then perhaps it is too early to talk about it. Alan Scott is not the only gay character in Earth 2, I guarantee. "The writer also commented that there will be changes in the genre - heroes who will become heroines, or vice versa - and race on Earth 2. The Atom, for example, must win the female version.The actions are part of an effort by the comics industry - which includes the first gay marriage in Marvel - to diversify their characters, making them more consistent with the diversity of the audience itself.
