Jul 15 2010Green Lantern Revealed, Loves Glowing Musculature

He has Seinfeld hair.

Sigh..well on one hand its supposed to be an Alien uniform..i guess... so it does look like an alien..thing.

:( I'm underwhelmed....

It looks like a hack photoshop job.. his eyes look funny, the face looks badly cut out and pasted...

Bah.

That looks ridiculous. Especially the mask. Poor direction choice. They should really consider starting over.

I hate it.

The mask is awful!!!

What's with the terrible superhero costume reveals, first thor, now this? It's a conspiracy

That suit makes my penis soft.

Hmm...maybe they're going to integrate the "Green Lantern" storyline with the upcoming "TRON" movie, and that suit is actually part of his "glowing-bike-ridding-gear" ...?

No. no. no no no no no no no. NO. Oh god, please no. Please Jesus have mercy and destroy this world now. no no no no no no no

Forget Green Lantern -- can you turn to the pages with Tron on it and post those?

Interesting fact: Entertainment Weekly can be abbreviated to EW, which is EXACTLY what this outfit is. Fucking EW.

I was gonna say Spawn.

When he dons the suit he looks turns into Ben Affleck.

Then he sucks a billion CGI dicks and plugs the gulf oil spill with the nut.

This summer, get ready for the real Junk Shot!

wow....i was really happy about the choice of ryan reynolds being Green Lantern/ Hal Jordon....but after seeing this & if this is what is to be throughout the movie cgi, i hope Ryan Reynolds distances himself after the [email protected] least with Deadpool, he will have a proper mask.

Hollywood once again proves they can ruin any costume. Were the years of comics not enough show what the suit should look like? On the plus side, when this movie bombs nobody will even realize it was the Green Lantern. Oh and nice Hasselhoff hair.

I'm going to say this is nothing but win, if only becausebeing associated with this Emerald Na'Vi Tron mashup is still way better than Jack Black in that one movie where fat chicks look hot to him.

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE

Awful.

I am standing alone, but will go out on a limb and praise the costume in the form of an under the breath hooray. Having read before that this costume would be done entirely with CGI, I think that it is a huge step forward for the capacity of such a powerful and renowned ring. We are quick to judge the radical nature of this decision because we, while reading comics and watching animated features, rely on our imaginations to fill in the fantastic gaps. Unfortunately, it is near impossible for us to have our dreams realized as they can become as infinite as Alaskan snowflakes.

Having the suit present bright colors and a monochromatic scheme of greens, the CGI will be wonderful compared to a predominantly black and green costume. This suit on the cover of EW screams potential concerning the ring's power.

I can imagine this costume working out well because of what it shows already. The suit, an extension of the ring, conforms to the body and enhances it. The lines of the suit take on a other-worldly feel as they pulse up the arm, toward the chest, and throughout the body. A lot of people, including myself, believe in "show me, don't tell me" and this suit shows me the awesome power we grew up reading about is alive and well in the ring's host. For those who do enjoy the DC Universe, one could make connections to this costume resting somewhere between the image of Green Lantern and the Ion suitzzzz.

All that being said, I cannot defend the eyes too much, but I get it. Green Lantern is portrayed with white eyes or green eyes, but the eyes still being visible on some level is a bit much. Maybe it is too remind us there is still a human in there? Maybe a budget cut in action?

It's easy not to hate after the commercialized X-Men. Funny how when Cyclops asked Wolverine if he'd rather be wearing yellow spandex, it's hard not say "well, he should!" I appreciate staying true to the original designs, but sometimes change can be a good thing. Not so much change, but maybe an homage to power that cannot be contained to the printed page.

Some other observations:

Fist bumps are alive and well in the DC Universe.

For all we know, Ryan Reynolds paid Bradley Cooper five dollars to stand in for this.

Ryan Reynolds? F that, what ever happened to Bryan Austin Green as the green lantern?

His left arm looks like it's malnourished, or he just uses his ring arm a lot. If you know what I'm saying?!?!?

Also, what's up with the YELLOW font? Isn't that his weakness?

LT

it would look more realistic if his hair was also cgi....

looks like ben stiller to me......so bad

"it is near impossible for us to have our dreams realized as they can become as infinite as Alaskan snowflakes. "

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaha.

What is that on the cover about the new Buffy??

lulz part II

uh they obviously didnt deny anything in batman forever thats why it was so bad.. and im sure this will suck almost as much

DC = Double Chin

It's not the costume that's the problem. That's the one redeeming factor.

Also, EW sucks monkey fur. Every photo they get is sent through a dozen "artists" who have to each put their "stamp" on the image before it goes to the next douche who took a photoshop course on YouTube.

I can just imagine all the little kids asking why green lantern isnt black :P

Just because you have the technology to CGI everything doesn't mean you should.

Plus with a costume that flamboyant I expect them to use a lot of darkness and motion blur cheats to avoid rendering the whole thing in every scene.

this cotume sucks! they really should go with a more traditional costume! not all alien artifacts need to look like a cow shit them out. come on seriously... as a big gl fan i think that costumes an abomination.

Look at where his chin meets the suit... this photoshop job is awful.

The suit looks pretty good, though. I lol'd at all the people in these comics, though - "OH MY GOD, IT ISN'T MADE OUT OF PENCIL AND INK! WHERE ARE THE SPEECH BUBBLES?! KILL ME NOW!!" It's a movie, what do you expect? If you go in looking for an exact copy of the comic, you're going to be disappointed, so don't.

I was really looking forward for this film to come out. First, when Nathan Fillion was not picked as Hal, I was like... sighhhh... we'll see. Then when I heard the same guy playing Dead Pool, Ryan Reynolds, is playing him... dammit!!! Then CGI costume.... o shit! And now seeing that it's not going to be the green and black or the leather green and black suit.... WTF!!!!!

DC has far deeper characters than Marvel (I'm not saying that Marvel is bad), but the writers and directors, other than Nolan and crew, can't seem to get them right.

the first time i saw this i thought to myself "why is GL covered in treebark?" this costume is terrible. why does hollywood think they need to redesign superhero costumes when the we really want to see the heroes we know on the screen with their *gasp* traditional attire.

im not saying we cant update them a lil bit (definitly no spandex) but at least be true to the character and the fan base.

@ wishfulwriter: precisely, well said

Yeah I'm certainly interested in the decision-making process here, the way the wearer's structure is both highlighted (quite literally) and augmented by the suit, which is as much a construct of the ring as it is a physical barrier between the wearer and the outside

Every alien's suit is going to look and 'feel' different, scaly for folks with scales, bristly for the walking brooms, feathery-leathery for tomar re, etc

I love the carpal bone pattern on the fingers, the obvious care taken at the wrist joint, where the fibers condense and overlap--it'll be like seeing a glowing green man without skin making mind-altering shapes and lightshows in space

seriously

that sounds awesome to me, and I dig this suit

The Green Lantern is a stupid superhero and this movie looks like a day old pile of elephant dung.

It's bad enough Ryan Reynolds is in it.

Hollywood should just give up. They're obviously clueless.
