Canon Gay Couple Month:: Robin DeSanto and Leslie Bean

[espanolbot]

Having been recently reunited (following an Incident), I can safely say that these two from David Willis' Shortpacked series are my favourite gay couple.

Here's a recent strip based on them seeing Man of Steel a couple of weeks ago,



And, yes, the Kangaroo thing did once happen.

That panel of Lucy Lane getting punched by a Kangaroo might be the best single panel of comics storytelling I've seen all week. Look at the little boxing gloves!

[grazzt]

The preceding panel of the kangaroo freaking out when he gets pinned is pretty cool, too. He looks so horribly offended.

[superfangirl1]

I laugh so hard then felt sorry for doing it and the laugh again.

[silverhammerman]

Did she really serve the same role? I mean, "Jenny" was breathing in the general vicinity of Perry White, other than that we never saw anything particularly Jimmy-ish from her. The Daily Planet staff in general just felt wasted.

On a lighter note though, classic Lucy Lane is a hilariously terrible person.

One of my favorite moments in the Jimmy Olsen/Lucy Lane relationship:

[grazzt]

"But those first steps are the most difficult he has ever taken..."

I assume it's because you know she's going to start laughing at your shorts/calf boot combo as soon as you start moving away.

And you're right! Either that, or she's checking out some cub reporter booty.

Haha seriously, what is going on with that outfit.

Not that it doesn't work for him, mind!

[his_spiffynesss]

I'm assuming it's supposed to be a soccer outfit.

[jlbarnett]

that's what I'm thinking.

[kurenai_tenka]

Hmm I was wondering that, just bizarre that they seem to be long boots instead of high socks!

[his_spiffynesss]

Maybe they are socks and his matching knee guards are pulled down?

[kurenai_tenka]

Hmm maybe!

[espanolbot]

I like this one,

[randyripoff]

Seriously, i wanted to see Lucy get her comeuppance moreso than the likes of Dr. Doom, Sivana and Lex Luthor. She was just a terrible person--or at least that's how she was written back then.

Her sister wasn't much better, either.

Suure Leslie, 'in fiction'!

[long_silence]

Explains a lot about her relationships with Robin and Malaya doesn't it?

[q99]

Explains almost everything about her relationships with Robin and Malaya XD


Heck, with Lucy Lane as a model she's lucky they turned out so well!

[lieut_kettch]

So who else here thinks that the first thing Lucy did upon becoming Superwoman was find a certain boxing-glove wearing marsupial and melt it to slag with her heat vision?

ROBIN AND LESLIE ARE BACK TOGETHER?!?!?! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!

[espanolbot]

Roughly around Christmas, I think. Leslie and Malaya broke up when it turned out that Malaya didn't actually like her that way, and was going out with her to see whether she was gay or not (she's currently in a chaste romantic relationship with the now robotic Robocar), while Robin ended up with Robocar's creator, Joe, who she knew from her alien-fighting days.

Not wanting to outright steal Robin back from Joe, Leslie decided to try and rescue an alternate universe version of Joe's former girlfriend (who people thought was dead, but she really got stuck in another dimension) to swap for her instead.

Long story short, Joe and his girlfriend were reunited, and so were Robin and Leslie.

[shadowpsykie]

i remember the Robocar thing.... there was pie involved....

heh funny thing is, knowing this series... not at all surprising....

do you happen to know how far back this was? i'd rather have a link to start rather than go searching back....

also is greg dating anyone?

[thezmage]

Here's the beginning of the "Leslie and Robin get back together" storyline:

*Squee!* thanks!

[superfangirl1]

Wishful thinking but with our luck the producer would turn lucy into luke lane.
