DC Comics/Warner Bros. Ask LAPD for Protection After Death Threats Over Bi Superman
Share
DC Comics and its parent company Warner Bros. asked the Los Angeles Police Department to help to patrol the homes of some of the illustrators/production staffers who created the latest iteration of Superman.
TMZ: The extra protection comes after major backlash that included some so-called fans making threats. We’re told the pissed-off comic book readers inundated the studios to voice their displeasure with the character’s newly-announced sexuality.
Our sources say the studios called LAPD, requesting for patrols to keep an eye out — both at the private residences of some artists, and at the studio itself.
While nothing legitimate came from the threats, our sources say cops still patrolled out of an abundance of caution — and that the situation has since settled down.
