This is the company that gave us Extraño.
Yes. You have to point it out.
Darn right, no girls allowed! woo!
Ah, it won’t be Orion. DC’s “Second Wave” is their current, desperate push since
they alienated so many readers with “the New 52” and immediately lost the mild readership bump that stunt brought them. The “Second Wave” is somewhat focused on Earth 2, where the rebooted JSA is the focus. So it’ll probably be a JSAer.
Maybe Starman.
Chocolate Starman?
A gay Starman has already appeared since the new 52 (albeit in a limited series that’s not considered one of the new 52 titles).
Predicted in 1971 by one D. Bowie:
Apparently it’s Alan Scott (the original Green Lantern), a twice married man with two kids who was understandably (being from the 1940s) uncomfortable with his son’s homosexuality. If so, DC chose poorly.
According to this, it’s the Earth 2 version, which means he’s not the guy in the main universe.
I’ll be in my bunk.
Newsarama gave their top ten most probable:
10-The Spectre
9-Starman
8-Aqualad
7-The Atom(Ryan Choi)
6-Black Lightning
5-Wally West
4-Eel O’Brian
3-Shazam
2-Earth 2 Flash(Jay Garrick)
1-Earth 2 Green Lantern(Alan Scott)
So, the guy who’s powerless against wood?
Remember, they rebooted. All the E2 characters are now contemporaries of their E1 counterparts, so he’s not from the '40s, he’s not twice-married and he has (as far as we know) no kids. He’s just another boring, generic Jim Lee-designed character.
(On the other hand, I called it back in post 15. Who’s da nerd-man? I da nerd-man. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. 
)
No, he’s not; he’s fabulous!
The original Green Lantern is iconic only to comic book nerds. He’s right up there with Wild Cat as somebody historic, well known, and even beloved to the nerd community. The whole entire rest of the world doesn’t know who he is and this is a meaningless gesture on DC’s part. Iconic would be characters that have had their own movies or were at least a character on Super Friends. You aren’t iconic until even people who don’t read comics know who you are. DC would have been better served to create a sympathetic, non-fabulous gay hero than to do something this half-assed.
Which gets back to what I said about the Green Lanterns. If DC were to say in a press release that Alan Scott is gay, most folks would scratch their heads and say “Who?”. But if they say in a press release that Green Lantern is gay, folks will say “Oh, yeah, I think I remember him. He was in (Superfriends/Justice League/that recent movie), right?”. Even though, of course, this particular Green Lantern wasn’t. So by going with a Green Lantern, they can pick someone who’s fairly low-profile, but believably pretend that he’s high-profile.
So, yes, this is a cop-out, but I think it’s a cleverly-engineered cop-out.
My gay bar prediction wasn’t far off either. And am I the only one picturing a Southern Bapist dad frantically checking the DVR for any “Super Friends” recordings or timers?
Well done. 
Super-Friend Wonder Woman is already a well-known Bondage & Discipline afficianado with several SM master/slave inspired “super weapons” (her magical lassio that forces anyone encircled with it to “submit” to her, for example.) And she came from a suspiciously all-female colony of warriors, and has even been known to exclaim “Sufferin’ Sappho!” from time to time. AND she was very out about it way back in 1941.
Clearly it’s going to be Superman after he’s exposed to some rainbow kryptonite (which was funnier until I discovered there really was a story with pink kryptonite in it that did the same thing).
I really like the idea that it may be Captain Marvel/Shazam. That’s just asking for a headline like “DC Comics announces Marvel is gay.”
The Gomer Pyle/Jim Nabors jokes just write themselves, don’t they?

Who read the Daily Mail? Since when is* Speculation: Some Twitter users assume Batman will come out as gay* considered journalism?
I vote a girl or one of the Robins.
Batgirl (Batwoman?) came out gay years ago. They will simply re-announce this old news to much manufactured excitement.
