DEAN CAIN SLAMS BI SUPERMAN: Former Superman actor Dean Cain has criticized DC Comics‘ decision to have the current Superman come out as bisexual. “They said it’s a bold new direction, I say they’re bandwagoning,” the 55-year-old actor told Fox & Friends on Tuesday. “Robin just came out as bi — who’s really shocked about that one? The new Captain America is gay. My daughter in The CW series Supergirl, where I played the father, was gay. So I don’t think it’s bold or brave or some crazy new direction. If they had done this 20 years ago, perhaps that would be bold or brave.”
