Is Superman too gay for EA?

The LA Times wonders if the supposed gay undertones in Bryan Singer's Superman Returns will affect its appeal to the famously hetero-centric action film crowd. Of course, if the film turns out to be a little too swishy for macho 8th-graders, it might also affect sales of Superman Returns: The Video Game due June 26 from EA. I played the demo at E3 and didn't detect a "bold queer spirit," although one could argue that flying around in tight red briefs and a cape is inherently gay. Singer successfully worked a "tolerance" theme into his two X-men movies without turning them into box-office Kryptonite, so I don't think a few lingering shots of Brandon Routh's super-package are going to scare away phobic fans, especially if the movie -- and more importantly, the game -- are any good. My first impression: The sense of scale endowed by the corporate bondage queens at EA was cool, but the jaggy graphics were sadly limp for a next-gen title (no pun intended).
