Hey, guess what one of James Robinson's fantasies is?
Cry for ~~Justice~~ a Threesome! BoP fans get ready.

From DC's The Source

WTF? At one point I was actually excited for this book. Stop messing with my BoP, sir.

	I'm sorry, I thought this was funny. Maybe he could've used a different character -- and to be honest, I'm staggered that anyone would find Hal attractive at all, in any context, even with alcohol -- but no, good on 'em. But it should've been one girl and another guy. That would've made it funny :). (Reply to this) (Thread)

	So did I and it made a funny twitter meme from Gail Simone http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23unlikely_comic_threesomes (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Just gotta pipe in, despite my lack of membership. There's nothing saying it was an actual threesome. There are far more entertaining options. Like Hal using a bottle of grappa to convince Huntress to be his wingwoman and catch Zinda, or Zinda getting drunk and (literally) pressing Hal and Helena together because she's weird.

Well I think both pilots would get along great. Helena being involved, despite my inherent masculine interest in this idea, does seem a bit forced but I do know a few friends who have "shared" a guy and they weren't in a high adrenalin/high stress vocation like superheroism.

But thats just my two cents.

Now I'm just waiting for Gail to get on here to comment. Probably too hot button though...

	And Im surprised no one has reacted more to Hal's last line on the page. Thats the bit that even I found a tad offensive. Is it just me? Now Im still not saying its out of character mind you. That would be what Hal would say. (Reply to this)

	Perhaps it actually involved Helena kneeing Hal in the balls while Zinda broke the bottle of Grappa over his head. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Total waste of pretty pretty art. (Reply to this)

	seriousfic 2009-08-04 04:10 am UTC (link)
	So the only way I can parse this is to postulate it as part of Helena and Zinda's Big Gay Love. Here is that fanfic. (Reply to this)

	Robinson has done a lot of great stuff in the past, including improving Rob Liefeld's Captain America series. But risque goings-on between superheroes has been done before by Robinson. Voodoo stripped down and threw herself at Spartan in "WildC.A.T.s/X-Men: The Modern Age #1." (Reply to this)

	I have to say, even if he's down for the count, he could still use the ol' power-ring to create "many interesting devices" for the ladies. (Reply to this)

	Some links about Huntress' dating habits: http://girl-wonder.org/girlsreadcomics/?p=18 http://girl-wonder.org/girlsreadcomics/?p=21 In the Birds of Prey story “One Day; Well-Chosen”, Oracle and Black Canary engage in some slut-shaming of Huntress. Misogyny! Then they realise they screwed up and make amends. Misogyny criticised within the text! (Reply to this)

Dear Mr. Robinson,

I expect more out of my superheroes.

Sincerely,

Definitely-Not-Buying-This

(I had a longer version but I was too pissed to put this off. Addressing all issues: 1. Misogyny and sexism is not a flaw, like certain people here like to claim. It's a disgrace. Playing it for laughs is actually worse, somehow. I expect this from frat boys...well, maybe that explains it, eh? Still, no matter who said this, I would be disappointed in them. I hope you would too. 2. Please, people, don't try to say that this makes the character interesting. It might be totally in character, it doesn't mean we should be any less disappointed in them. 3. People who are going to use 'secure in their sexuality' arguments should think carefully before speaking. 4. I'm done with this. It's not worth any more of my precious time or anger.)

	I'd hate it if this was supposed to be taken as fact, but it's possible they're just teasing each other. GA:makes joke about something that never happened GL:refuses to be phased, pretends it happened (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm wondering if we're going to find out later that what actually happened wasn't what Ollie and the rest think, but something more benign (I'm imaging something like a drunken game of Twister and Hal hitting his head or something). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just when I thought I couldn't loathe Hal Jordan more - you had a threesome with Zinda and HUNTRESS and you don't care? Fuck you man. Just...fuck you. (Reply to this)

	... Clearly Judd Winick has kidnapped James Robinson and replaced him. There's no other explanation that makes sense! The man who wrote Starman COULD NOT fail this badly! (Reply to this)

	...now I want Daddy Batman to come back and kick their asses. NO really, I would love for Batman to have been there and overhead that conversation. (Isn't Batman like...the closest thing to a father figure for Huntress? Hm, awkward!) (Reply to this)
