Ok, how about this for an idea. We take it in turns to post a favourite (British spelling) comic cover every day. This went really well on the comic fan website that I used to frequent. What we tried to do was find a theme or subject and follow that, until we all got bored with that theme. I'd like to propose a theme of letters of the alphabet. So, for the remainder of October (only 5 days) and all of November, we post comic cover pictures associated with the letter "A". Then in December, we post covers pertaining to the letter "B". The association to the letter can be as tenuous as you want it to be. For example I could post a cover from "Adventure Comics" or "Amazing Spider Man". However Spider Man covers can also be posted when we're on the letter "S". Adventure Comic covers could also be posted when we're on the letter "L" if they depict the Legion of Super Heroes. So, no real hard, fast rules - in fact the cleverer the interpretation of the letter, the better, as far as I'm concerned.
And it's not written in stone that we have to post a cover every day. There may be some days when no cover gets posted. There's nothing wrong with this, it just demonstrates that we all have lives to lead.
If everyone's in agreement I'd like to kick this off with one of my favourite Action Comic covers, from January 1967. Curt Swan really excelled himself here.

DC Pride and Marvel Voices from 2021:
Sensation Comics #18 from JUNE with a certain vibe to it!
Unfortunately I don't have a cover appropriate to celebrate Fathers Day with, but I'm sure Pa Kent is proud of his (adoptive) son. The villain is shooting rainbow beams out of his hands. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)

Like I've said before. I have no problem with any person or character prefering their own gender for a relationship, but I still cannot agree with the editorial decision to go against years of continuity. In this case, Tim's long term interest in the Spoiler.
Some actual people live years assuming they were attracted to x, only to discover they were also (or even primarily) attracted to y. However, I don't know much about how it was handled with Tim Drake.
