新一代超人和他的男友？？

DC Comics has announced that its latest Superman, Jon Kent, will be bisexual.

DC漫画公司已经宣布，其最新出版的超人乔恩·肯特将是双性恋。

In its next comic book issue, due for release in November, Jon will be pictured in a same-sex relationship with his friend Jay Nakamura.

在下一期定于11月发行的漫画中，乔恩将和他的朋友中村杰（Jay Nakamura）在同性关系中呈现。

The storyline is part of 'Superman: Son of Kal-El', a series following Jon as he takes on the mantle of Superman from his father, Clark Kent.

DC Comics made the announcement on National Coming Out Day, an annual LGBT awareness day started in the US.

故事情节是"超人：卡尔-艾尔之子"的一部分，这是继初代超人之后的系列故事，他从父亲克拉克·肯特（Clark Kent）那里继承衣钵，接替成为超人。

DC漫画是在全国出柜日（National Coming Out Day）宣布了这一消息，这是一个美国为了增进大家对LGBT群体的理解和认识而兴起的一年一度的节日。

Since the series was released in July, Jon has already fought wildfires caused by climate change, scuppered a high school shooting, and protested against the deportation of refugees.

In an earlier issue, Jon struck up a friendship with Jay - a bespectacled, pink-haired reporter.

自从该系列于7月上映以来，乔恩已经与气候变化引起的野火进行了斗争，解决了一起高中枪击案，并参与了驱逐难民的抗议。

在早前的一期漫画中，乔恩与戴着眼镜、粉头发的记者杰建立了友谊。

DC Comics said the pair will become romantically involved in the upcoming fifth issue, after Jon "mentally and physically burns out from trying to save everyone that he can".

DC漫画公司表示，在即将到来的第五期，乔恩在“拯救世人的重任之下身心俱疲”时，将与杰开启一段恋爱。

Series writer Tom Taylor told the BBC that DC Comics was already mulling the idea of a same-sex relationship before he pitched it

该系列的编剧汤姆（Tom Taylor）泰勒告诉BBC，DC漫画公司在他提出同性关系的想法之前已经有所考虑了

Details of the plot has yet to be revealed, but images shared by DC Comics show Jon and Jay sharing a kiss.

Series writer Tom Taylor told the BBC that, when he was first offered the job, he pondered "what Superman should be today."

情节的细节尚未被透露，但DC漫画公司分享的图像显示，乔恩和中村杰将接吻。

编剧汤姆泰勒（Tom Taylor）表示，刚接到这份工作他就在思考：“如今的超人应该是什么样的”。

"It struck me that it would be a real missed opportunity if we replaced Clark Kent with another straight white saviour," said Mr Taylor.

泰勒表示:“我突然意识到，如果我们用另一位白人直男救世主取代克拉克•肯特，那我们就错失良机了。”

To his surprise, before he could pitch the idea of Jon being bisexual, he was told that DC Comics was already mulling the idea.

令他惊讶的是，在他还没来得及提出乔恩是双性恋的想法之前，他就被告知DC漫画公司已经在仔细考虑这个想法了。

He said that, despite backlash from "trolls" on social media, reaction to the storyline has been overwhelmingly positive.

他说，尽管社交媒体上的“网络喷子”们强烈反对，但绝大多数的反响很好。

"We have people saying they read this news today and burst into tears - people saying they never thought in their life that they would be able to see themselves in Superman... literally the most powerful superhero in comics," recalled Mr Taylor.

泰勒回忆说：“我们得知有些人今天听闻了这个消息后泪流满面，她们说超人是漫画中最强大的英雄，没想到在有生之年还能在超人身上看到自己的影子......”

"You'll always have people who'll use the old line of 'don't put politics into comics' - forgetting that every single [comic book] story ever has been political in some way," he said. "People who don't realise that the [Marvel comic series] X-Men were an analogy for the civil rights movement."

“我们总会听有人固守旧条说”不要把政治色彩带入漫画“，但他们忘记了每一本【漫画书】的故事在某种程度上都有政治意义”，他说：“人们没有意识到 [漫威漫画系列] 中的X 战警是民权运动的比拟。”
