DC Comic fans are overjoyed with the recent news in the new Batman: Urban Legends #6.

Trusted sidekick Robin is bisexual.

Tim Drake is the true identity of the current masked Robin who, in the August 10th issue, rescues his school friend Bernard from a cult called The Chaos Monsters. During their fight against the cult, Bernard confesses attraction for Tim, not knowing it's Tim behind the costume. In that moment, Tim realizes he reciprocate those feelings for Bernard.

Reader, beware.

There are spoilers ahead.

In the scene, Tim as Robin thinks:

"Ever had a lightbulb moment?"
"Like something out in the ether has been taunting you. Teasing you."
"Like you know you're supposed to be on the same page with your brain but not everything made sense?"
"People ask me what I want."
"Oracle. Dick. Steph. Even Connor."
"But I couldn't grasp it. Whatever it was, it always just felt out of reach."
"Until now. Until right now."

The comic ends with Bernard asking Tim on a date, and Tim happily accepts.

ComicBook.com reports Tim hasn't chosen a label for his sexual identity, but he is in fact attracted to multiple genders. Some people choose to identify as bisexual while others describe themselves as pansexual.

Even so, that's not stopping fans from cheering for this LGBTQ+ representation in the DCU.

Thanks to the writer Meghan Fitzmartin with artist Belén Ortega, colorist Alejandro Sánchez, and letterer Pat Brosseau, fans finally have an openly bisexual character in the Batman universe.










Tim Drake also continues to live on past the comic book series in Titans on HBO Max.

His character will be played by Jay Lycurgo.

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
