UPDATE!! A Pic Of Ryan Reynolds As Green Lantern!!

ass

That is all.

Too much.

the cgi suit?

Just kidding, looks kinda cool!

the cgi suit?

im not really digging it. and did they give his hair a green tinge?

I dunno. The mask is fucking awful and the suit looks to much like some sort of nanotech thing. Should of just kept it more simple IMO. But who knows, it might look fucking awesome in motion.

did they take all of the B&W out of the suit and leave it completelty green?

that's how picky we geeks have become.

this is a character that wont translate well to live action too many crazy cosmic situations and weird characters. its like if they wouldve used bodysuits in Avatar

But magazines give images that glossy sheen that makes it puts things in that weird uncanny valley. The suit looks kinda cool, IMO. Don't know if that effect really required cgi to accomplish. I'm sure it'll be glowing and pulsing and do all sorts of crazy awesomeness, which will be sweet. Overall, it looks good enough to me. Kinda badass. As long as it looks kickers in motion, I'm sold

leveraging their Doc Manhattan tech for the suit for this film. Looks like a similar application(except for the head of Reynolds).

Sort of Dr. Manhattanish, but at least it's a semi-novel take on the tired spandex superhero suit.

Here's a bigger version http://i32.tinypi c.com/2nuokdt.jpg You're welcome.

Looks like the face/mask part is painted on...wtf? why not just wear a regular mask.

Even in a still picture it looks like shit. No way that suit is going to look good in motion.

Or it's a tat.

honestly. I got no big issues with it.Looks like any number of the green lantern suits in the comics. You fanboys bitch and moan way to much about every little thing! Atleast its not like that stupid superman returns outfit with the muted reds. God that sucked! they got the blue right but there reds were so dark, it almost looked like brown leather could have overlooked it though if the movie wasnt so borning.

Looks awesome to me!

what the fuck is this?

My internet crapped out yet somehow sent the previous one. Anyways, This is terrible looking. The mask is a bit wrong which is a shame as GL has an awesome mask. I tweeted Geoff Johns and pleaded for white gloves and I got no repsonse as expected but hits is almost worst than what I imagined. It looks like a bad SyFy channel costume. ALl they had to do was add some texture like theSuperman Returns suit or Spider-Man suit. I want to cry...

If this get's a pass and Thor get's torn apart then that's ridiculous, because Thor is far more in the spirit of its comic book counterparts, if you don't like the comic fine, but dont bitch then. This ont he other hand almost seems like a non choice, from before they knew how to make comic book films. Like the decided it couldnt look like the comic but didnt know what the fuck else to do but streamline it into oblivion. It's got zero personality and just isn't as cool as the comic. I kinda just don't get the point.

2 ) ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY SCOOPED YOU

Seriously...I understand adapting costumes for film...but that's not even the same suit. Putting a different suit on him and making it Green doesn't make it a GL uniform. Like I said in the shitty Thor/Odin/Loki talkback, this looks like the suit they slapped on Oldman in Bram Stoker's Dracula, with light up features. Complete. Shit.

Not too sure if I like this yet...why the fake mask? It looks REALLY bad when seen in high rez. I get the muscle-tissue feel of the suit..but dunno if I like it.

BTW, his hair isn't green..it's simply an effect they added to make it look like there is green light emanating from the ring/suit

The detail in the suit makes me think of that whole 'Visible Man' thing. With Campbell in charge, I think it could be a first-class comic movie. Hoping they play up a whole "Right Stuff" vibe w/Jordan and that the cosmic stuff is on a grand scale.

How do you fuck this suit up? HOW?? I mean come on, if you are going to do something, do it right. I thought the idea of a CGI suit made sense, it really did. So WHY NOT MAKE IT LOOK LIKE SOMETHING OTHER THAN A GREEN STILL SUIT? I mean really folks, come on for a minute.

Who knows, without the ring glare and with some black pants/boots to set it off it might be all right. Kinda early to write it off, but the pic doesn't interest me as much as the first Thor one did.

Thats a very cool take on the costume in my opinion. It will be interesting to see how the costumes differ from person to person. Its a tricky costume to sell, and I think this is a great version.

Hello, Hal Muad'Dib

Seriously, people bitch about the Superman Returns costume's colors, but THIS is okay?? Really?? Jesus fucking wept...

All the fanboys to bitch about anything that isnt 100% accurate to the comic.

Is that a piece?

hate the mask.

People are used to comic book films and superheroes at this point, there is ZZERO reason why we can't give htem the fundamental classics onscreen. Obviously suits will need some tweaking from page to screen, but it's not rocket science to get the gist of it and its certainly not unmarketable. You know what looks more dated? Those ridiculous leather outfits they used int eh X-Men movie. It would be far better if they just used a reasonable facsimile of the "yellow spandex" comic outfits. There is a reason these designs have been around for 50 some odd years and why no matter how many changes there are it always comes back tot he classic look in some iteration.

...that whole "visible man" ripped muscles design is a little too "nipples on a batsuit" for me.

Or just a shopped approximation? I'm pretty sure the mask is painted on, you can see the skin texture underneath (at least, thats what it looks like to me).

Dude, people are used to comics because the filmmakers were smart enough to know that a direct translation just wont work for the general public. Youre delusional. I LOVE comics, but Im not silly enough to believe Wolverine in yellow spandex is going to work on screen.

Am I the only one who gets a "Batman & Robin" vibe from the costume?

Um, excuse me? 1992 called...it wants it's hair back.

so i have to give this a chance under geek law. But I have a bad feeling I am gonna have a Fantastic Four-esque letdown when I see it.

I guarantee that is nowhere near what it will look like on-screen. And if somehow it does end up looking like that, this will be a monumental disaster!

Anyone else remember that shit?

Yeah, its a bit cgi-ish, but really, I think it adds to the otherworldy aspect of "The Power Cosmic," inherent to the lantern ring. Besides, at least its an original take on a comic book film. That's right, kiddies. No Spandex, black leather, or plastic/rubber chestpieces.

In that light, I actually think this take on the Green Lantern is a thing of beauty.

The Kyle Rayner mask. That thing had a little more wait to it. Oh well, it looks WAY better than Thor.

I know it shouldnt be yellow spandex, but changing it to look fundamentally different has proven, over and over and over again, not to work. There is ZERO reason this couldnt work better in it's comic book form with the black, I won't even ask for white gloves, but THIS looks like those red outfits they wore in The Cell. It looks silly and weird with the deep muscle lines, it just doesn't capture the classic spirit of the Green Lantern. You're telling me this picture is somehow less silly than this? http://therad. files.wordpress.com/2009/07/ green-lantern1.jpg ? Nonsense.

fuckin' A

Makes perfect sense for Green Lantern, considering the source of his powers and costume.

But that mask makes him look like a hammy supervillian.

about his hair being green--did you ever stop to think that maybe that's the glow from his ring? Light has a tendency to reflect off of stuff, y'know? But still, the mask does look like a bad PhotoShop job. And is it me, or does it make his head look a little bulbous? Either way, hopefully it'll look better in action.

I'm waiting to see an a pic of the entire suit, with clarity. The mask doesn't bother me, considering the shape of the actor's head. And the glowing eyes help to sell it.

WTF is this????? Anybody have the issue and know what this is referring to?

Good lord are you blind? I don't like the design either, but get it right.

This is the HERO in the movie? Between his cataract eyes and muscle lines, he looks like a zombie. He looks like he's been skinned. How is this design relevant in any way to the character? Horrible.

That is horrible looking!

Wonder if this is the costume at a certain stage of the film? Great thing about the cgi suit is it can be altered easily, he could have few suits in the film.

... the tool in it.

at a horse race. BANG and their off... and every geekaziod in here just complains. I'm trying to process just how your brains work. Why do you not like that? I think they nailed it. His suit should look like energy. Great choice and the green hair is lighting, like in the animation.

of superhero movies?

The cadaver muscle texture is creeping me out!

Too similar to the TRON style...

How the hell can you screw up the Green Lantern costume?

i think a man made suit would have looked a lot cooler. This looks like a futuristic Green Lantern costume. It seems like GL's costume would be one of the easier ones to make...and yeah the mask also looks weird, i wonder why the changed from the original. The movie could definitely still be good though...

iron man was the only good comic book movie made in the past decade. fuck thor. fuck green lantern. fuck hulk drama. fuck batman reboot. fuck them up their stupid asses.

The rest of the suit looks awesome.

I am trying to digest this, but, one thing i can't stand, is that RING, Hal Jordan's ring is round with the Lantern symbol inside it. . . DAMN YOU! He is wearing KYLE'S power ring . . Will wait and see how the suit looks in film when teaser comes out . . And yes, I know it is finicky to harp on the Ring, but I got a gold one made 12 years ago painted Green so I can have my very own, even got half of the mantra written inside it. . .

its ryan reynolds for god sake. who's dick is he sucking to get jobs?

That would suck

the idea of the suit being organic looking and a part of the ring bearer is a fantastic idea. As for everyone talking about the mask being painted on... it's doing the same thing as his neckline and fading into his skin. A new idea, but I think it makes more sense than the universe's cops dressing like sixties super crime fighters.

I am way more interested in whatever small tid bit is in this issue concerning the new slayer. There is nothing on ew.com about it...so does anyone have the scoop?

Okay boys I know you have your fantasies after the bully kicked sand in your face, and that your comic book heroes would have whooped him good. BUT IT'S JUST A STUPID COMIC BOOK!! You need at least $100 million to not make spandex look sillier than hell. Superhero costumes are basically the same things they wore in the circus in the 1930: a pair tights with a suitsuit over it. Try to make that look cool....

are released. But I'm not digging it so far. Kinda bland. If you're gonna invest in a CGI costume, why not make it visually interesting? I'd like to see a white, black, green mock up at least. I don't give a shit if the general publick won't buy it. Have some bals and confidence in the character fer chissake.

and yet, they've made it overly elaborate. The old debate of Wolverine's yellow spandex having to change: yeah, sure. Yellow spandex would have looked ridiculous. But HERE? There is NO reason not to go classic look here, CGI or not.

... of superhero movies. Please make it stop, this absolute gayness (by "gay" I mean my teens' definition: irredeemably uncool.) This just looks even more retarded than fantastic 4.

not suitsuit. Hey Harry get some editing ability for posters, step up to web 2.0

http://tinyurl.com/2fc8mjk

AKA not very good. Would like to see this in full action before I make a determination.

Or maybe it will look like 'The Galaxy Being' from the first episode of 'The Outer Limits'.

The article I posted about his non serious injury seems to imply that the action will be "Matrixy" too.

....LOL...I'm proud of myself today :)http://codecrackx15.wordpress.com/2010/07/15/new-power-rangers-nope-its-thor/ As far as the suit : Photos from the set not long ago revealed Reynolds wearing only a grey visual effects temp suit during filming, a suit that would be replaced by a costume to be almost entirely computer-generated according to reports. The final suit in the film looks to have avoided the matte green torso/black extremities body stocking of the comics in favour of a midnight green suit with muscle lines made of pulsing green light.

Sigh.

I dont know about that why thatsa crazy talk! Also A History of Violence is good. This costume looks a bit odd in this pic a little Spawn movie-ish as was pointed out, but it may work in the movie. Also, Reynolds bring back THE BEARD

You are officially the geekiest one here. I'm not sold on the costume myself, but the ring? Really?

And anyway, Hal has worn that style of ring many, many times so not only are you obsessing over a stupid geek point, you're wrong about it too. Way to go!

WTF? What would you rather he wear green spandex? ballerina tights? It looks very much like the comic book! He looks like he is a cosmic being, who can rip you in half like you were a wet piece of paper! God!

nice briefs, oh wait...he's not wearing any!!! NO THANKS!

Shut the fuck up, you whiny bitches.

please CGI, make this costume (and movie) right

And that's really all there is to it. This looks twice as gay as the usual costume because it's CGI, and the man looks cross eyed as hell.

...like something that grows really fast. Seeing the huge version that someone here linked to, it kind of looks like the suit is not really there, like it exists in a different dimension from him or something. The mask actually looks like it occupies a different 3-dimensional space from his face, and would actually be penetrating flesh and bone if it existed in the same dimension. Kind of surreal and cool in a very Green Lantern way, if you ask me. I like how they seem to be handling this movie. Wasn't actually interested until now.

MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!!

It was entertaining. The special effects were special effects. Nothing groundbreaking. You know it's special effect when you see it. Other movies have done better effects. I dare say some part of the Matrix had better effects. It seems they used a bad camera for the super slo mo shot. It looks low res and a bit out of focus. And when DiCaprio and Juno walking "up" the road after its folded, that effect could have been done way better. Even the weightless fight of Cobra Commander was not very convincing.

There are some things minor plotlines that I didn't understand and maybe will if I watch it again, but the important 97% of it, i did get. One I didn't get was like how did the defib machine wake Fisher from a level 3 dream state death. Another one is that they show DiCaprio get old with his wife while trapped in the "limbo" universe, but when they decided exit the limbo with their heads on the railway track, they are young. Shouldn't they be old?

The best thing I like about the movie was the ending. Nolan leaves it to us to figure out whether the whole movie was just a dream or not. There are arguments to justify both. I feel the whole movie was just a dream. The scene in Mombasa where DiCaprio was being chased by several men and being shot at several times, he dodged every single bullet while running. It was way too many bullets for a person to dodge. It must be a dream as opposed to being the Matrix. If it was the Matrix, he would have not needed to dodge them.

especially with those pupil-free eyes.

Just kinda creepy.

sorry

We don't get EW in the UK - what's that!?!?!

Before I typed in a comment I did a search for "Batman" to see if anyone else was thinking the same thing as me.

...as Green Lantern.

Green Lantern's abilities depend on Hal Jordan's amazing willpower.

Ryan Reynolds' persona is all about hyperactive energy, not willpower.

...and unimaginative

I know that the sinewy/glowy effect is for wow factor, as is the Jon Stewart glowing green eyes. I just don't know that it's necessary. The mask shape is just wrong. Funny thing is, I would think that GL's uniform would be the easiest to translate to real life with out looking like cheap spandex or cliched leather/rubber. I'm still willing to give this a chance, but I'm not feeling good about it based on this pic.

Honestly it was the first thing that came to mind for me.

cuz it looks stupid. I wish there were going to be some defined green AND black sections in the suit.

...I like your name.

How did they fuck this up? HOW?!?!?!?!?!

like shit. That looks horrible. I have no idea why they didn't just make a practical suit. Ridiculous. I'll take Thor over that any day.

I hope you stub your toe on something and it's really painful. What's the point of putting 'MAJOR SPOILERS' when you don't say what you're spoiling?

easy to screen and I too am willing to give it a chance. Bought GL first flight which came with action figure. Jordan had black legs/arms, green boots/gloves and a vest that started at waist. Had classic mask. Nice looking outfit. This mask is too big and light green s/b hunter green.

Green Lantern already has one of the easier-to-adapt-to-screen costumes, and they come up with this ugly, silly green-muscle-tissue nonsense? Someone REALLY over-thought this one.

What The Fuck!?!

Yuck! And Ryan Reynolds is not Hal Jordan.

And not anywhere near as cool as either.

I think I saw that guy at the Power Exchange in SF, he fists great!

suit looks cool but its to much green, it needs some black to break it up . mask looks great, and im glad they white out his eyes. And no he doesn't have green hair, its the glow from the ring.

Supposedly. Comic-con edition after all.

all kidding aside, looks kinda cool and was way unexpected. As for Ryan himself, I think he might just be awesome. I'm just hoping the cg suit won't look like a cartoon in it's movement. Could be really distracting. They shouldn't kept it being cg a secret.

oiy. Not a bad way to deal with him glowing either. Better than just a glowy outline. Also, the domino mask looks fine. Of course, I never gave a shit about green lantern, so this is coming from someone who just wants a good time at a DC based comic movie that does not have Bat in the title.

...people complaining about people complaining. The people who make themselves feel smart in a self-satisfied way by diving into a new talkback and saying, "oh, look out, here it comes, all you geeks are going to complain about this."

Every single person who does this: you are the bitter, lonely geek who's resentful for being left out, and you know it.

that you can tell the toys apart and no one steps on the others toes. If you were writing a kick-ass GL comic and they made a shit-ass movie wouldn't you want to be differentiated somehow? The movie toys can't look like the comic toys or how would they sell both?

Ryan dislocated his shoulder and couldn't do the pose.

Superheroes ALWAYS look cooler when you can't see their eyeballs through the mask.

So long as the STORY and PLOT are good, peppered generously with original action sequences

this reminds me of the suit of armor Dracula wore in the FFC film. i think it's a hell of a lot cooler than the retardedly bland suit in the comics.

this suit is miserable. i am sick cgi.

...of course it looks better than Thor, and that makes me sad.

Clearly just the light from his ring...

so lame, from the hair to the mask to the suit, to the ring pose. ughhh!!!!!!111

unless they do a Hawkeye solo movie with Jeremy Renner. That won't happen but would be interesting I think. Think Jason Bourne with a bow and trick arrows.

and before you say.."but, but, but those are closer to the Kirby era costumes..." comic costumes don't work in real life. deal.

First off the whole thing looks heavily and poorly Photoshopped. Secondly it looks like they got the old Flash TV show suit from a garage sale and added weird "muscle" fibers to it. Terrible job guys! Congratulations, mission accomplished.

I literally just face palmed when I saw that but will wait to see it on film before feeling narked by this look, power flow I like but the muscle look, urgh.

The green/black classic costume from the comics is better. I can't tell in this pic if the green energy glow makes the whole costume look green.

You guys need to relax man. It makes sense that the suit would rely on physical musculature. If it has to outfit many different life forms it would have to, no?

Seriously can't Hollywood just keep it simple? Seriously Hal Jordan had one of the cooler costumes in all of superherodom, what's with the sinewy muscular lines and unnecessary texture... Totally not needed. It ain't like he's Aqualad or Dick Grayson era Robin. Sheeiittttttttttt

No black? Thats the best part of the suit! They need to work on adapting these things better for movies. Wolverines and the X mens suit would have worked if they had toned down the colors a little and/or tried a little harder. Thor and Caps costumes are not even passable...unless its for like a spin off alterantive timeline comic or something.

Fuck, I just hope they use this tech to make a Guyver a movie. A real guyver movie, not a Dragon Ball Z adaptation or an Xmen style hack job.

niblets.

WHAT THE FUCK? Why the FUCK can't Hollywood just use what is established, accepted and loved, updating a bit if necessary? Give me a fucking break. This costume is garbage. Where's the contrast? Where's the wonderful black and white and green CONTRAST? Thanks for the blob of green you fucking twats.

Green Lantern creates with his ring's energy is a GIANT GREEN COCK

It just seems unnecessary. Of course I am against a CGI suit, I fucking hate CGI. The only thing that keeps me optimistic about this movie is Martin Campbell.

I agree, bring back the black

No. That's the answer to "If it has to outfit many different life forms it would have to, no?"... It's a magic suit for Christ's sake. It doesn't need any rationale behind the design. It's one of the best costumes in all of comicdom and they took a big old lazy greasy shit all over it.

"were boned" between this flopping and thor and cap flopping... comic book movies are gonna be dead... thanks guys for fucking up a good thing! didnt they look at what made the dark knight and iron man such shining examples of what should be? apparently not... its like they just watch the incredible hulk and fantastic 4 over and over again1

Couldnt they have found a much better actor to play Hal Jordan? Yeah, a Guyver remake would be off the charts, but the manga/anime is not as relevent as it used to be back in the day.But atleast we got to see a decent adaptation (for the most part, jimme walker should have been edited the fugg out of this film.)thanks to steve wang.

Ever heard of light?

The Thor costumes make this shit look amazing by comparison

I had high hopes for Cap. Then I saw Wolfman. I still am holding out some hope, as I know there were production problems with Wolfie that were beyond Johnston's control? Or maybe I just won't let go...

What a shite look for GL. Not impressed at all.

Kill me now.

So I wrote a shorter post. Now they're both in the TB thread. Oh well.

I have GREEN HAIR!!!!!

I cannot get over the utter suckage of this costume and the Thor costumes image on the other thread. How depressing!

and spray painted abs!!!!!!

I was wondering how they were going to pull off GL's suit. I dig the alien-energy overlay/suit idea. Works great! Reynolds is a ringer for Hal Jordan. Can't wait for the film!!

Green Wang?

Why do filmmakers continue to think they can improve on the comic book vision? Again and again, filmmakers say that audiences will accept things in comic books that they won’t accept in a live action film. Or that a certain visual (Wolverine’s brown costume) or concept (Watchmen squid) may work in the comics but would look hokey and or be unbelievable in a film. Beatty showed us years ago that you can translate a comic to the screen EXACTLY as it is and it WORKS. That is why Beatty is Beatty and Singer/Campbell are douches.

this shit just keeps getting worse

yeah, I like it

Jesus, guy needs a shave. Also, what does his dick look like? All green and striated and glowy?

And to think the DC fans were gloating over the crappy Thor costumes. What goes around comes around.

...until we see it in Action.

Looks like he has green silly putty on! Wow, thats bad! they couldn't do a regular fabric suit...

Obviously Ryan has went to the Hair Club for Men.

To improve it.... Darker mask, less painted on. Neckline Black White eyes http://tinyurl.com/37dmaxb

It looks better then I thought it would. It works.

Tis the season for rubbish costumes.

Makes sense for it to be techy looking, the ring is alien technology after all, so why not the suit as well?

It's better to play it safe and let the story (if it's any good) make or break the film. The suit doesn't match what we've come to know as The Green Lantern. There's no reason to venture this far from what came before. Batman is a different story (unfortunately). he has to have armor. Superman, Wonder Woman and the Green Lantern have powers that don't require a modern take on their suit. 90% of the people watching this film are Green Lantern fans....why mess with it?

It's as if when you inherit the ring the suit becomes part of you. I'm surprised how much talkbackers hate this. If anything you guys should be hating on the casting of Reynolds as Hal Jordan. That was the biggest misstep.

idiots. Therefore, classic characters weren't wearing it. It IS possible to be faithful to a design without utilizing that particular fiber.

thats why the mask doesnt look quite like a mask. See how the edges of the neck on the suit blend into his skin. This suit probably leaches out of his pores like sweat and becomes solid. I'm fine wiht the look. Sometimes translating things 1:1 dont work. Like the ultimate thor costume. This is alien tech, it should be weird and organic looking. Spandex sucks!

I'm looking at you Brain Singer.

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=20090

why the fuck should it be black and green. Why shouldn't it look organic and fleshy. this isnt a jumpsuit. This is a living breathing flesh as armor. Sorry but most of the comments above are not understanding the modus behind the suits look. He wears the ring green shit bleeds from his pores like the gatorade ads, and then it turns into a solid. that is why it looks fleshy and organic and it doesnt have sharpe edges and shit. You actually want a joelish robin silicone sculpted face mask glued onto his face with hard edges and shit?

damn typos

I still dont get the drama, but it has radioheads creep song in it sung by a choir of little girls

Can't tell if that makes the thing feel "off" or not.

Live-action, though, I can't tell if I like it or not...

God I hope its not a CGI mask...

http://twitpic.com/25k4m3 tell me Green Lantern isn't this gay. war Kyle Rayner

created the Silver Age Green lantern outfit and it is as perfect and iconic as you can get, basically this outfit is pissing on his creation. I'm all for the organic look with energy lacing through it but can you just use the comic as a template please. Black for upper arms and thighs, white gloves and white background on chest. You can use whatever textures, CGI mocap suits you like but can you please just actually pick up a comic. If you do pick up a Green Lantern comic and Entertainment weekly it'll be quite easy to realise "Holy Shit, they look fuck all like each other?". I've seen a lot of Photoshopped fanboy efforts which look 10 times the quality of this effort, I hope it get's tweaked but I can't see it changing much, my only hope is that there might be a "rookie" outfit and a full corps outfit. Also the mask is a physical construct of the ring not "paint", Star Sapphire pulls it off way back in GL 26 (Vol2)

http://dgt1.net/manny/mblog/images/the_phantom_new_movie_poster.jpg I just hope the pose is where the similarities end.

http://dgt1.net/manny/mblog/images/the_phantom_new_movie_poster.jpg I just hope the pose is where the similarities end.

Kick Ass hero costumes was better than this pretty boy schmuck

Hollywood always thinks its better than the material. Hey Hollywood boys, why the face paint if the entire suit is ring made? I agree with hyattmarc, pick up a comic, the original design is as simple and classic as it gets. The white gloves set off the rest of the suit. Now everything in that entire suit looks the same.

as Barry Bostwick's "ace hunter" costume from MegaForce.

Almost.

http://tinyurl.com/27zwf9f

I'm ambivalent. The higher res pic unquestionably looks superior to the pic Merrick linked (particularly the eyes). I'll have to see more pics (and perhaps video) before I can truly judge yea or nay on the costume.

Aside from Batman, DC movies are in trouble. I'll take Neal Adam's version any day over this. I thought Green Hornet looked bad before this joke.

the high-res version makes it damnably clear that the "mask" was horribly CGI'ed on RR's face after the fact. Not sure how that got the green light (ugh--sorry for the awful pun).

DC just can't get one right. I used to be a fan in the 90s.DC has completely lost it. Have no hope for this one.

God how fucking disappointing. If the mask is just your skin green what good is a mask.

If so, why? For christ's sake, WHY?

... most of DC's storylines, of course. Death of Superman, Knightfall, Emerald Twilight, always considered DC to be superior to Marvel, not anymore...

show a featurette on failed costume attempts at comic con showing the costumes you tried but didn't work. If you didn't try a more traditional costume then fuck you.

about that stupid haircut??? Looks so 80s! This is going nowhere...

I'd say that the texture of the suit looks far too much like latex.

And--yeah, erichaislar--the mask and RR's neck look like they were poorly shaded green by a marginal photoshop-hack.

You had me worried for a few minutes there...

For that matter, DC's VERTIGO line rocked in the 90s (e.g., SANDMAN, THE INVISIBLES, PREACHER).

Okay, I get it- you dont want to do old school leotards. And you employ people who consider what they do an art form worthy of Awards and accolades.That being said..STOP DOING THIS!! Superhero Costumes are iconic-The man beneath just gives personality to icon. If you made a movie about Jesus you wouldnt put him in a leather suit to make him hip or so you're costume designer could put his spin on Emmanuel...For fucks sake...You ruined Superman with those dour fucking colors and now you went and messed up this.

And i like the organic design of the suit, even if the texture seems a bit off.

Seriously, I wish costume designers could manage to make superhero costumes that didn't look like they were made out of PVC or latex (or leather). Shit, a quarter of the reason why IRON MAN seemed so fresh was that they nailed the look and feel of Stark's suit.

after fan reaction they will change it. Fuck if they can only fix one thing fix the mask. I mean it so dumb looking.

If so we have GL, Thor, Captain America, X-Men. Damn that is some comic book geek heaven right there.

then I can't completely agree.

If by gay you mean "stupid," then find another more accurate synonym to use.

Seriously, "gay = stupid" is so 2005.

And--of course--if you were being sarcastic/ironic, please forgive me.

Why can't they do a fairly accurate Green Lantern costume? Shouldn't it be easier?

Don't tell Harry..........

not cotume

you guys are pathetic... unreal... you're all insignificant and if there was ever a time where aintitcool could influence how good or bad a movie was going to be received, those days are long gone. All you little bitches do is bitch bitch bitch... get lives--the suit looks fine. Once the CGI suit was announcded, ninety percent of you already decided you were going to hate it.

Cuz that was the gayest thing I've ever seen.

morphing into shit. I think a lot of people will be eating a bowl of shut the fuck up.

Look at that fist coming at ya, ad the rubber thing on his face. I dunno, man. Thor's pics aren't much better. Hollywood needs better designers.

I mean, c'mon, afro guy.

Boy was I dumb. This sucks. Horrible looking suit + painted on mask = SHIT!

Ryan Reynolds would have been better cast as one of the Flashes

IT'S LIKE GAYER THAN ANYTHING!!! GAYER EVEN THAN THE WAY THOSE UFC FIGHTERS MAKE ME... UH, I MEAN IT'S SO SO GAY!!! I MEAN NOT LIKE I'M GAY OR ANYTHING BUT I KNOW GAY WHEN I SEE IT AND THIS IS GAY!!!

GAY!!!

GAY!!!

Skinless, green, even gayer, movie-version Doctor Manhatten. And hell, domino masks always look idiotic, especially CGI-painted on domino masks. They should have at least gone with the Kyle Raynor crab-mask and put some white areas in that suit. Even worse will be the "Lantern-bulge" and WTF is with the circa-1995 Jerry Seinfeld hairdo???

There's no black in his costume or white gloves for that matter.

They go the organic route and this POS costume looks like a venom symbiote/Spawn hybrid. What would Guy Gardner's costume look like?

Fix this Martin Cambell, Geoff Johns, and DC Ent. It shouldn't be too hard since the costume is cgi.

is it?

Another day, another EPIC FUCKING FAILURE. Stay assy, Whoreywood.

Cause of the photoshopping and all. Looking at it as is....I hate it. But they'll likely make changes based on the reaction and feedback. So I'll wait a little longer, when a better picture (hopefully soon) is released. I actually still have faith in this movie.

Suck a bag of insignificant dicks you tard. Nice design on this suit fuckstick.

Oh, I mean Green Lantern.

Must see the high-res version: http://tinyurl.com/27zwf9f

The Good: whitish eyes; organic design of the costume.

The Bad: Typical latex/PVC texture of the costume.

The Fucking Awful: Photoshopped-looking mask and neck. A talented 12 year old could do better.

Fucking wack. Prepare for the tidal wave of negativity...very much justified in this case. Can't believe this design was approved, much less conceived. Beatdowns to all involved.

From here on.. Superhero movies will die a horrible death. DC and Marvel.

THE GAYEST THING I EVER SAW WAS THESE TWO CREEPY GUYS RIDING ON MOTORCYCLES LIKE BOTH WEARING REAL TIGHT BLACK VINYL PANTS WHERE I SWEAR MAN YOU COULD SEE LIKE THE SHAPE AND SIZE OF THEIR BALLS AND THEIR DICK AND ALL AND THEY WERE ALL LIKE ON THE MOTORCYCLE RIDING TOGETHER WITH THEIR JUNK ALL PRESSED UP AND VIBRATING AND ALL RIGHT UP AGAINST EACH OTHERS JUNK AND THEY WERE JUST LIKE CRUISING DOWN THE STREET MAN JUST LIKE AS GAY AS GAY CAN BE AND THEY STARTED STARING AT ME CAUSE I WAS STANDING THERE ON THE SIDEWALK LIKE STARING AT THEM CAUSE THEY WERE JUST SO DAMN GAY I COULDNT STOP STARING AT THEM AND ONE OF THOSE GAYS JUST SAID LIKE HEY BRO WHY ARE YOU STARING AT MY JUNK YOU GAY OR SOMETHING AND I WAS LIKE REALLY FREAKED OUT THAT ONE OF THESE GAYS WAS TALKING TO ME SO I JUST TURNED AROUND AND WENT DOWN THE OTHER WAY FAST BUT LIKE I ALMOST SAID HEY MAN YOU'RE THE ONE LIKE ALL PRESSED UP AGAINST ANOTHER DUDE WITH THOSE TIGHT LEATHER PANTS ALL BUNCHED UP TOGETHER HUMMING ON THAT MOTOR SCOOTER AND MAN THATS THE GAYEST THING I EVER SAW!!!

Kiss my ring, bitches!!

GL suit had grace, command, elegant design that had the feeling of a space force. This looks like the Alien creature pissed it out.

Further proof why some things should only exist as a drawing.

WTF..why cant they just leave enough alone..i can see them modifying costumes but completely destoying it like this is pathetic. Ill wait for the DVD

CGI the mask on, no makeup and add the black accents on the costume ala Gil Kane! All else works fine. White pupils are cool.

http://tinyurl.com/l6lyuk

Just having a bit of a laugh, KilliK.

But...

Gay = stupid/retarded/ugly, guys?

Lame. And embarrassingly out of fashion.

So, how did those Gay Biker's cum taste?

Sorry. I thought you were being a rageaholic closet gay homophobe 12 year old, didn't realize you were making fun of them.

300 and Top Gun still stand as the gayest movies I have ever seen in my entire life. Thor might be a strong contender, but it's too early to say.

How incredibly lame. Maybe we'll get dangling green dong a la Watchmen. I like a la today.

This is officially NOT the official costume. Just something to tease.

...rubber.

Whenever I call something gay, I mean it's comparable to fucking a man up the ass. Not "stupid", or whatever defensive girls with gay friends think it means now.

is fucking horrible!! hahahah

You look like absolute shit! the suit looks good. i dont see you designing a multi million dollar movie with super hero costumes, so shut the hell up!

...continue unabated!

Some of these guys are so redesigned compared to their popular souce material, that it seems like they are coming up with a totally different character sometimes!! While there may be some modest modifications in the comics between various artists, some of these movie incarnations are drastically misjudged.

I mean, take DOCTOR DOOM for instance- the FF makers managed to turn the comic equivelent of Darth Vader (Original Trilogy version) into a totally bland-looking and unmenacing character. And let's not forget how a gigantic, imposing GALACTUS was criminally turned into a boring 'tornado'...

Unfortunately, it seems that there's more misses than hits now when it comes to realising the look of certain characters

WOW! I MEAN I WOUDLNT KNOW I REALLY WOULDNT KNOW BUT I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT THOSE BIKER GAYS WOULD KNOW I MEAN REALLY KNOW JUST WHAT EACH OTHERS JIZZ TASTED LIKE HOT IN THERE HAIRY MOUTHS BUT LIKE I JUST BET THOSE GAYS KNEW CAUSE LIKE I COULD TELL THEY WERE BOTH WISHING I WOULD HOP ON BOARD THERE GAY HARLEY JUST GET IN BETWEEN JUST SANDWICHED BETWEEN THEM AND THOSE TIGHT BLACK VINYL PANTS AND SHOW THEM WHAT GAY REALLY MEANS LIKE I BET THEY WOULD OF LIKED THAT THEY WERE SO GAY!!!

it's as obvious as the pores on his face, the guy in the suit could be the big problem.

I can respect that. As long as you know that you're obsessed with continuously comparing things you don't like with gay male sex. That's cool, bro. Whatever floats your boat...

...let's not forget the 'Power Ranger' clusterfuck that was the GREEN GOBLIN. I can't tell you how much I was looking forward to seeing his comicbook look transferred onscreen somewhat faithfully.

Boy, was I in for a disappointment!

Agreed.

Cruise = Gay (specifically--of the angry, insane, strained, eternally closeted variety).

"They should have used the more traditionally ridiculous magic space costume from the comics!"

Oh, you wacky nerds. There aren't enough toilets in the world for all the swirlies you guys deserve.

Ruh-roh.

is appropriate for the above costume.

I think 300 has to take the gay cake from my recollection.

Although, now that I think of it, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET PART 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE may be the true winner. And it was intentionally created with homoerotic content/themes.

What was overtly gay about it?

you would think they would hire the GOOD costume designers for superhero movies.

This is the worst crap I have ever seen, its comparable with Thor. I don't know how this suit "works well on screen" when it looks stupid everywhere else.

Its really sad when Hollywood character designs look like shit compared to fan made material or source. See: Transformers, FF, Xmen, Wolverine etc etc

People complaining about People complaining about People complaining about People complaining about People complaining about People complaining about People complaining about People complaining about People complaining about People.

This site is hilarious.

I just don't see the man fucking man up the ass gayness in the GL costume.

Instead--for me (at its worst)--it evokes the worst of the BATMAN films with their PVC/latex textured costumes.

Oh... well... I may see what you mean after all. To be fair, though, the GL costume--although form fitting--doesn't seem to include nipples or 300ish abs. Aside from the mask and the neck area, I've got to say I don't hate it.

The suit is cool, except the way it blends to his skin in the neck area. I'm hoping this looks better on film.

Let me refer you to what Englund had to say about it in an interview:

""... the second Nightmare on Elm Street is obviously intended as a bisexual themed film. It was early 80s, pre-AIDS paranoia. Jesse's wrestling with whether to come out or not and his own sexual desires was manifested by Freddy. His friend is the object of his affection. That's all there in that film. We did it subtly but the casting of Mark Patton was intentional too, because Mark was out and had done Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean" --http://www.attitude.co.uk/news/viewnews.aspx?newsid=1144

You know, it never occurred to me either until I saw the movie with my wife about a year ago. So many of us were so fucking naive about sexuality in the 80s, but watch it again--the gay subtext is very VERY clear.

And I liked it.

Agreed. I'd really like to see a full body photo. Um, not in a GAY way, you understand... I'm just... curious about how the costume will look for purely NON-gay reasons.

am I to believe you've never seen a Tom Cruise film? Not even Few Good Men? (I'll give you a moment to pull your head out of your ass).

Definitely NOT what I expected. This pic makes his costume look like something from TRON. I want to see it in motion before I make my judgment...

If it WAS gay, I would almost certainly love it.

So, no. The debate rages on.

I assumed the CG would be utilized to add glowing creases, maybe a raised green projection of the chest logo, to Hal Jordan's traditional lantern duds.

OMG! YOU GOT ME!

Cause no one can like the gayz but the gayz.

Riiiiight, sweetie?

Good observation. I get a TRON vibe from the costume as well.

And--yeah--can't completely judge till I see movement.

Or just a bad magazine cover job.

yup.

Some of you people are impossible to please.

JUICY

Is that gay?

Just razzin' you about the "wife" comment above... It's all cool (i.e. gay).

I love you man (i.e., in a *very* GAY way).

I just can't tell. Can someone photoshop a gimp mask atop RR's visage?

...over your shoulder, raise your eyebrows, cover your mouth with your left hand, and say..."oh, la la!".

I don't WANT to not like it. But, there is something almost unfinished about it that is bugging me. I think that the mask looks like they couldn't decide wether it should be a full mask or some kind of painted on thing...and they decided to do both. I LIKE the way they handled the eyes, but the way the mask fades into his skin looks like those bad versions of painted on bikinis in Sports Illustrated, The suit itself I can handle being different since he can change it at will, and it could be that he emulates the way it looks when he is first given the ring?? and then changes as he becomes more in control with it? I sure hope so, I will reserve judgement for when I see it in motion...but I am not blown away. ugh.

Can I come out of the closet and then kill myself? Or is it a strictly either/or choice?

The common consensus does seem to be that the painted on mask look sucks. I agree.

I also agree with the majority of TBers that the partially whited out eyes are pretty cool.

And, yeah--I gotta see more till I make a real judgment call here.

Worse than Affleck in Daredevil kind of warnings.

And I'm finding it really hard to see the black in his uniform. It looks like all green to me.

Finally it's cum to a head.

...underground in a box in the Iraqi desert with someone...would you want it to be Ryan Reynolds, in this costume, with a magic ring?

Or would you want to be buried with Scarlett Johansson with no costume and no magic ring.

Clock is ticking...

but I don't like that.

What the fuck is going on? I mean it's not AS terrible as Thor, but still kind of weird looking. Maybe they should stop releasing stills and just give us a trailer from now on.

To all those who say the costumes from the comics don't translate well to the BIG SCREEN, Chris Reeves Superman costume looked like it was right outta the comic and worked better than any super hero film in recent memory.

Where is the bottom half.

...can you describe how you managed to 'bolden' some of your comments back there please? Thanks.

MORONS. Hair's not green, it's the reflecting light from the suit/ring. Jeezus. And it seems like the suit is a part of him, not unlike the Venom symbiote - notice how the collar just kinda fades to skin...

Other than a nude GL I can't conceive of this being any better.

C'mon that is really Will Ferrell.

Or do you just play one on the interwebs? Because you make A LOT of comments like the one above. I find them hilarious but often wonder if they are genuine.

I also *love* 500 Days of Summer and appreciate your appreciation of that beautiful film.

Take a character with one of the coolest costumes in all of comicdom, and instead put him in a gangrenous meatsuit. That makes sense. It's not just ugly -- and it is EXCEEDINGLY ugly -- it's actually kinda gross.

THE EVENT.. because, that said..

I'm not gay but I'd totally give it up for Reynolds and Chris Evans. Preferably at the same time in a pool. But I wouldn't date them or anything like that, that's gay.

Isn't 500 Days the best film? Glad to share the love, I just hope every talkbacker watches it. Lord knows ima gonna remind them forever.

The costume is alright.

But that Mask and that hair is gayer than aids.

Makes me look forward to seeing more costumes from THOR.

I'll still see this, but expectations are super low.

...heterosexual here on the godless East Coast.

poor photoshopping, in that picture his eyes look like fucking Marty Feldman's. This is a pretty awful costume, and the outer upcurve on his mask looks far too villanous. I dunno. I'm not really a DC fan, but I was still expecting better.

...audiences were completely charmed by that movie when it came out.

Since then, it's like various director's seem to think it's cool to change the original source material's look for the sake of it. Which would be fine if they actually came up with something better...but they generally don't.

No offence to Sly, but he looked far cooler with the actual helmet ON! Is this a sign of things to come with the likes of THOR, LOKI, and CAPTAIN AMERICA I wonder?

please.

And I don't mean that in a good way.

Visually, I'm not sure I like the painted-on-looking mask. I also think there should be some areas of black to make it less, well, entirely green. The bright webbing (of energy?) . . . eh. I was hoping for more of a straight up fabric-y costume with actual normal material with green and then the black & white accents, and then the powers would be in the form of that translucent green.

That said, I really only care if the movie is good. If it has a good script, good acting, and the cinematography is good, I'm fine with this. It sure as heck beats Schumacher's Batman w/ nipples look (and, heck, EVERYTHING about what he did to Batman), doesn't it? I'd envisioned it a LITTLE different, but people can't really be all that upset about this one picture in the grand scheme of things, even if you hated it. Can you?

-Cheers

This looks like shit already. I'll wait for the Blu Ray on Netflix. I refuse to be disappointed by another comic movie.

another bunch of nerds whining that the suit is the wrong shade of green, or the mask doesnt cover his eyes in the right direction. Funny thing is, all these nerds are going to go and watch it. HA HA HA HA HA HA

There you go again. Hey it's your thing and we probably shouldn't spoil the mystique.

Yeah 500 Days is great. It doesn't hurt that JGL is my favorite young actor and who can't love Zoey? I'm definitely interested to see what Webb will do with Ole' Web Head.

than this crap. Even If it is CGi on screen..pulsating glowsticks reverberating throughout the suit? It hasnt changed in 50 yers of comics and some dipshit HAs to change something that is probably one of the most iconic suits in comics...DC just sucks with movies.

except the ones touched by Nolan. This film will bomb.As will THOR,captain america and sadly...avengers...I'm guessing being a designer/art designer on films is the biggest joke of a job ever.

Fuck the CGI crap - just get into a more traditional Green & Black costume!

Don't know whether this will be bold or not. I think it was a fluke.

...Should write a term paper or a treatise about the similarities between comics geeks and religious fanatics.

About how the majority of both groups are inflexible, dogmatic crybabies with zero tolerance for the slightest deviation from established mythology.

How both have a very small minority of tolerant, "Well, let's just see what happens" types within their folds, and these are jeered and insulted by the rest.

And most of all, about how ALL of these wiggy freaks run around in circles and waving their arms in the air, screaming that it's all so fucking IMPORTANT.

It's not that we have zero tolerance for deviation from mythology - it's just that we've grown up with these characters looking a certain way. I've been reading GL since I was 6 (24 years) and the one thing that has remained constant is Jordan's costume.

Sorry for all the posts.

Gotta run.

mask needs a redesign bad

You are in denial. If you are here, why the fuck are you calling people nerds?

the embiggenable picture is worse, it clearly shows the cgi mask, they didn't even remove the skin tone.

 ‍‍‍‍
...the bold.

for why nerds get beat up in high school. The suit looks better than the sweatpants and pizza-stained wife-beaters you're all wearing in your mom's basement.

I can't believe they ruined a SURE THING!!! OMG!!! I AM SO PISSED!

like the suit a lot, pleasantly surprised. I really hate this plastic factory fresh look all the costumes get. New costumes ruin the movies for me...throw them in the dryer with some rocks or something for an hour. Mask could be better but I'll deal.

stating the obvious

Latino Review has posted photos of Hal Jordan and the power ring, along with a pic of Hal and Carol Ferris.

My housemate says "utter clunge bucket". Make of that what you will. I thought it was a bit whiffy. We are British. We like crumpets and tea. Join us.

Cheesy 80's sci fi TV show, with a glowing, flowing suit. Was ahead of its time really, and this reminds of it.

... current metrosexual bitches for breakfest

The suit looks fine. Just like the suit in the comics.

Looks awesome. Was looking forward to this anyway, but this cements it. I'm there!

of Thor, this looks excellent! On its on it looks good!

LED fruit leather. Or green version of the muscle striation Bram Stoker's Dracula armor, as others have pointed out.

"Cursor" drew all his stuff, like his lightning fast car, our of nothing. It was pretty sweet. Didn't think anyone else remembered it!

WTF?

Oh ok, just read that it's motion comics of season 8 on I-Tunes. thank God... had a geek heart attack.

In the high-res, you can see it is a narrow appliance which wraps around above and below his eyes, which is then painted over to blend more or less seamlessly with his skin. Would be a lot of work for a superhero to do himself every time he goes out. superhero

my teachers made me watch in grade school. I forget the name but it was a childrens learning type show and the main guy wore a skin tight costume that looked like the insides of a human body. Then he would sing songs teaching kids about different body parts. Anybody?

...always gets shaped like everyday objects (such as hammers, anvils, etc) - which makes me think this is just going to look like an updated version of The Mask.

Judging an entire movie based on a single production still a year before release. Grow the fuck up.

How about just a really cool costume and not spend tens of millions on a cheesy, crappy effect?

I thought they were making a movie about former KISS drummer Eric "The Fox" Carr

And if you know who automan is Kudos to you.

...how someone 'boldens' their comments here? Thanks.

1-Paint yourself yellow 2-commit crimes

All things considered I kinda like it. His hair is not green, its from the glow of the ring.

have put the gloves on before the ring. I hope theres some sort of trailer at comic con, that explains the suit better to the nasayers. I mean the masks shape while paper thin- looks just like the damn mask in the comic, So really people are mad that it's to thin that he's not wearing white leather gloves and the suit isn't two tone and now the whole movie will suck because of this.... This is the movie, not the comic. The rules change. Things do not have to be exactly like it was on ink and paper, infact it would look a little silly imo. Fuck be bottom white leather gloves, a spandex green and white, and a glued on rubber face mask. Yeah thats the look they should have went for...

Think gatorade sweat. Ok Hal Jordan puts on the ring, it's gatorade time, only the liquid turns into solid matter, and it dyes his hair green and gives him bad cataracts.

Just because his head blocks some letters making it look like the magazine is called Enter Men Weekly doesn't make it Gay.

**Transmission ends**

It does. That suit looks worse that nips on Batman or flames on Prime. Why is it that every person who makes one of these adaptive movies feels the need to change things. If we wanted it to change than it would have been done in the comics already! Also what the hell is with that new Buffy header that seems like a more important story than the lame looking Green Lantern suit.

Ha! Oh wow, that's great! I gotta watch it again. I really don't remember it all. I saw it when I was a kid, and I remember some weird backyard bar-b-que party thing at the end where he kills everybody? And that he uses the guy to be his vessel or something? I guess it was supposed to be all, "OH NO! SCARY BI GUY GOES LOONY TUNES IN HIS FREDDY SUIT!" Hahaha!

the first thing you miss is the character's costumes. The black leather outfits "updated" for movie audiences are what end up looking dated and out of place.

kill me know. Holly wood sucks so much ballz it it amazing. Thank God Rami did spiderman right. IF christoper reeves god rest his soul can pull off the red underware and make it look cool then every other comic book movie superhero should do the same F holly wood you gay asswipes !!

thought no one watched it, little cursor was cool

I am probably thinking about it more positively after seeing the Thor costumes

...up his butt in the 80s and had to go to the emergency room.

That's just what I heard.

As for the gay comments, come on guys, men in tights will never NOT look gay.

hes not wearing white gloves bitch whine moan. I love it whenever AICN posts ANYTHING about ANY superhero movie and you all bitch about sad nerdy little things that nobody else cares about. its great, dont ever stop.

He looks like a generic hero. There's no "there" there. A simple costume based on the original suit Hal Jordan wore would have been far better. Having said that this suit does make me feel better about the Thor and Captain America costumes.

How many of you rail at every little detail simply because grandma won't foot the bill for cable in your room in the basement? Give it a rest. Everyone knows there are some of you who would whine and bitch even if you were totally in love with the look of a suit, or a trailer, or a movie, or what ever!

"Dude, don't call us out on our calumniation. We have site creds to maintain."

An 80's costume like his is cooler looking than GL's organic suit. Go figure.

there MIGHT be some in this film. Just saying...

I agree. What if people started using "basement boys" as a derogatory term for something that sucks? The closest most of these kids have ever been to a piece of ass was when their finger broke through the toilet paper.

But I'm sure all the haters here want plastic Thor-osity action.

...shove it on up there...Automan would snap his fingers and the cursor would wriggle all around trying to find a way out.

That's what I heard.

It's what we REALLY want.

I didn't think the Green Hornet trailer sucked that much!

And no black? Where's the black?

GL looks fine. Not great, just fine. Now, Superman news please...

Because this is terrible.looks worse than a fanmade rendittion.that just looks amateurish.BATMAN 3 ,deliver us from evil,amen.

And for fuck sake, his hair is not green you dolts. It's the light from the ring reflecting.

But relax. It's a fucking promo shot for a magazine. This will be good.

After all, this is the same brain trust that made Superman blue, brown and orange.

But that suit . . . I dunno. I got a bad feeling about this.

Really? Green Muscles, and Mardigras mask, this looks terrible. I almost never complain about suits, but this looks horrible, is not even a suit, is just green muscles

poor old Desi Jr always getting window-smashed with those tight left turns.

I'm just pleased that 'Golden Monkey' was released on dvd. Talk about a show NO ONE ever remembered. I'd bring it up, BLANK STARES. 'Bring 'em Back Alive' too. *sniff*

Then there's no reason why his cock and balls shouldn't be hanging out and visible.

Just sayin. Are the creators listening?

His tacky, cheesy misty-eyed take on the heroes is harmless in comics form but when it bleeds into movies (and I'm sure it will for many to come before DC realizes their mistake) it's a disaster. The mask and suit look VERY Roger Corman/Shaq Steel/Kazam

Would be even better if I can see the lower half.

...of how royally they fucked up Daredevil's costume back in 2003. You have a simple, iconic design, a costume designed by Wally Wood, and you turn it into some kind of Greenwich Village Halloween Parade leatherboy outfit. No GL's classic, simple, iconic costume, designed by no less than Gil Kane mind you, gets turned into Zach Snyder's art director's rejected sketches from Watchmen. Th' Fuuuuu...?!!!?? I mean, how are they going to defend this assclownishness? "We decided to go in an "edgier" direction with the costume, by utilizing the "modern technology" developed for films like Avatar and blah, blah, "darker" blah-de-blah "demographic" blah "more discerning viewer." Everyone caters to the cokeheaded, brainless suits in corporate and the result is shit piled on mountains of more shit. Nolan, get to work on Batman and Superman goddammit!

Not a bad idea mind you.

off a non-queer looking green arrow movie.. or maybe not so much.

Nothing that give anything away or nothing awesome butnsome good looking pics of Hal and Carol, and Hal with the ring floating , and Senator Hammond and Amanda Waller, and Hector Hammand with AbinSur body.

...underboob.

I love underboobies...

http://images.b105.com.au/2009/11/23/306454/pirelli-calendar-9-600x400.jpg

Undernose not so much.

Just like the suits for Thor posted a day ago. This one is a bit better. Wake me up when there's pictures like this for that Dune film in production...

Don't care for the suit, but I am pleased that they appear to be going with the version of the Ring that Hal received from the Guardians in issue 90, circa August 1976. Not his original ring, but the best looking of the lot.

As an aside, if memory serves, this issue also showed a "Vulcan" GL and a Klingon-esque alien vessel buried on earth. Ahh, memories...

The suit really REALLY sucks!!! Nuff said...

we can call that look “Green Steel”.

i like it. i didn't expect a full copy from the book some things don't work on screen (like yellow costumes or bright red ones) Martin Campbell is a good director it'll be good. somebody here said it looks like Automan LOL in a good way

I mean, that REALLY looks stupid. What in the FUCK was wrong with the traditional costume? Why the FUCK would it look like exposed muscle?

"The New Buffy" is still happening. Get ready for an unmitigated crapfest.

...this costume looks as if someone shucked some ears of corn, then glued the shucks to Ryan Reynolds to form a costume.

1. The whole thing will move with his face, it's like the illusion of a mask, which will be much more expressive around the eyebrows than Robin/Zorro/Lone Ranger/Green Hornet etc.

2. WHITE EYES. Seems like just yesterday The Dark Knight gave me white eyes on Batman, now they've done Green Lantern, straight up. This makes me so happy.

will fucking deliver, big time.

If the suit is all green its going to be a pretty sad design.

Just Have Mr. Reynolds Butt-Naked With An Ethereal Green Glow and instead of the ring on his finger, let it be a magical COCK RING !!!! NOM NOM NOM !!!!

Just wait and see.

an Automan movie. That t.v. show was the fashizzle. When do we get to see Cursor?

thinking I was being original with the Automan comments. Damn, I didn't even think anyone saw that show besides me. Oh well.

Why did you have to go and fuck up the suit? CG? Really? Are you guys fucking retarded? And I really hope that green hair is just lighting. Talk about an epic FAIL.

The green hair IS lighting.

-signed, Person With Eyes.

1. If you were to draw that suit, what color would it be? Just green? Looks like some heavy shading would require lots of black ink, black and green.

2. If the suit is made of green ring energy like the tanks, hammers, boxing gloves, energy blasts and whatever else comes out of that ring, why would it have white material and black material when everything else he forms is all green?

That don't make no gotdam sense. You're all fucked up, and your shit's all retarded. You're outta your element.

You are a meany-butt. ;p

Automan said so.

and The Man from Atlantis concurs.

Don't be dicks, WB. Listen to the fans.

Would anyone want to make this pile of shit any bigger than it is? Holy fuck... who are these fucking production designers? And who is approving of all these bullshit superhero get-ups? Fuck me....

Is the whole "It will look great in action" defense. '57 Chevys look fucking wonderful just sitting there. You're not tempted to buy a '57 Chevy because of how awesome it looks in motion. If they can't pull off a simple promo still to sell the fucking movie... they probably shouldn't do it at all. The suits for Thor and Green Lantern look so fucking stupid. The only reason they will appear to "look good" in motion is because you'll be missing out on all the fucking awful details of how shittily designed they are. Oh yeah... Iron Man is a fucking boring and shallow pile of shit.

"Why would WB listen to you cry babies, that suit is going to look awesome." It looks like some laffy taffy pile of feces right this very minute. How is it going to look any better in the future unless it's completely changed?

I cannot wait to see some still of the "Green Lantern" betwixt his legs. Though sadly I doubt glowing light FX will save the look of his suit, his dumb green hair and eyemask.

HAHAHA shut up... It's still dumb looking. Stop fooling yourself.

so can Green Lantern!

The Gil Kane GL design is ICONIC and has hardly changed for nearly sixty years.

I just looked at the bigger version of the pic. His hair is green. Why does the light from the ring only effect his hair and not his face? He isn't holding the ring next to his face/head. He's pointing it into the camera. Like a dumb as fuck "fist-fuck pump."

The only "people" who are going to enjoy this movie are 9-year-olds who have never seen a good movie before. Same applies to those who like Iron Man.

I gotta say I am thoroughly disappointed in this route they are taking with the costume. It's screaming a bit to Venom/Spawn for me as well. I think about flicks like Spiderman, Kick Ass, The Watchmen, or even Burton's Batman where the costumes really looked the part and stood on their own merits as being instantaneously recognizable as the characters. I gotta blame X-Men for the reasoning behind these shitty costumes. Why not just make a really good spandex under suit with molded leather parts? It would've been a hell of a lot cheaper in the end as well. Not to steal Wampa 1's glory or anything... but who are the ad wizards that came up with this fucking bullshit.

Super.... Dune?

this is like Transformers dumb

I looked at the "big assed" pic again... It looks like there is some fucking green fog floating around and it "covers" his hairline perfectly. It mostly just looks like awful "CGI/Photoshop" FX. His Fakeup Eyemask is soooooo dumb looking.

Yeah I see that now... Looks really dumb. I remember when they posed the promo stills for Wolverine and they never Photoshopped the dumb little hand grip for his claws! It was for this same publication too! They must really not care about the quality of their product.

I like how you can see the random erase lines in his hair as if the job was good enough. HAHAHAHAHA They should have left the green fog shit covering his awful eye makeup. And his ugly face in general. Why the fuck did they even cast this asshole to play GL? He is so fucking unfunny and just a shithole in general.

In general... The cover looks really fucking dumb. Would look better if they just used this photo http://www.markallencam.com/MaskOnUla.jpg

Just because you're a fan of the comics doesn't mean you have to like this crap. I loved GL when I was younger and seeing this shit is a fucking slap in the face!

This is what GL should fucking look like... http://tiny.cc/lxvi0

Lots of money doesn't equate to GREAT MOVIE. Go watch 'Inception' and you'll find out for yourself!

I wasn't aware that this site was only about Iron Man. I was confused by all the other postings about other films...

But that has got to be the very worst piece of shit rendition of an existing Superhero costume i've ever seen. This is Bat-Nipples bad. This is Skinny ass Venom bad. This is Glitter faced Mr. Freeze Bad. This is a Thankfully cancelled John Malkovich as the Vulture who-would-make-the-lamest-Spiderman-villain-ever-what-the-fuck-were-you-smoking-Sam-Raimi-and-thank-god-someone-took-the-franchise-away-from-you-as-a-result Bad. Fuck. And I really wanted to like this movie. Oh well. Should have known something was up when the Douchebag director chose Mark Strong for Sinestro instead of the Divin choice of Jackie Earle Haley. Damn.

making me want a milkshake now. imagine how cheap it would be to just drink your own milk.

THANK YOU!

so I can't see myself watching this, unless reviews are stellar. Ryan Reynold's isn't exactly a fave of mine either. Way more interested in Nolan's next Batman, the Wonder Woman film (whenever that happens), even a new Superman flick (what with Nolan involved as producer), and any future DC Vertigo adaptations which don't completely bastardize the source material (e.g. that Americanized Hellblazer abomination called Constantine). I wouldn't mind a Manhunter movie. That's Manhunter, the female vigilante, not MARTIAN Manhunter; a MM movie would probably be pretty lame...

I cannot believe you are putting down the design by ALEX ROSS! You like this dumb glow stick shit better! HAHAHAHAHA I feel sorry for you! I also feel really fucking tired so I am going to bed. It was fun chatting and making fun of the Green Lantern awful LSD rave trip suit.

I'm almost convinced that you are completely joking about liking the suit. I hope you fucking are. Only an asshole who is a total fucking dick would like this shit.

The design sucks. The movie will be dumb as shit. Not as bad as Thor or The Avengers will be though. I am going to bed. Goodnight. Sweetdreams. I love you. See you soon.

PS- Freddie Mercury is one of the greatest male vocalists of the 20th century.

Handled right, Malkovich probably would have been fine as Vulture. Vulture is not even the silliest Spider-Man villain in his Rogues Gallery. Handled right, he could have worked just fine. Spider-Man 3 was a boring, over-long mess which totally wasted its potential (e.g. making Parker act like a douche instead of making Spider-Man edgier and more violent because of the symbiote. Also, featuring more than one villain.), however I have doubts about this reboot. I really don't think we need another Spidey origin story movie. I think a semi-boot which ignores the events in 3 could work just fine. Maybe they could even take a character as goofy as Mysterio and make him awesome. With a little tweaking, Kraven the Hunter could be a fantastic villain. I heard they're going with Lizard though... meh.

Whoops! Redundancy much? I'm tired. Week 2 of security work at festival is starting to take its toll. Boredom eating away at brain... :-(

Superhero movies have had their moment, but it's over. We've seen with Wolverine. Then there will be Thor, the new Spiderman, this crap, the new X-Men... The budget will be lower and lower and every movie will be like F4 and then they stop making this shit. It was time.

This was never supposed to be your Green Lantern costume. He is not wearing spandex. Actually, according to the producers, he's technically not wearing anything. What we interpret as a suit is actually a tangible manifestation of the green light wrapping up the man's body in beams of strength and power. It's not a costume that he takes on or off, let alone one that he has to clean. He's literally wearing green energy. Regardless of whether you like it, do you at least understand now?

You lame fucks will bitch about anything.

who are new to the site defending the costume. They aren't aware it's possible to check how long a username has been around on the site, or aren't familiar to those of us who post everyday.

I didn't even notice the "embiggenable" image link until now... I can't believe Warners is even releasing this pic. It is absolutely horribly done. Like, so bad this has to be some type of preproduction render. It totally looks like someone shopped his head onto a pre rendered cg shot and then painted the area around the eyes green on an overlay layer. Not to mention there is a ton of bitmap stretching and antialiasing errors on the costume itself. Not to mention, what looks to be some clone stamp marks around the face. Truly awful. One for the Photoshop Phails bin.

forget the white gloves but you gotta have the black. Thankyou to whoever rendered the image: http://tinyurl.com/37dmaxb

I know that the suit itself is going to be done in CG... but this seriously is giving me that floating head test shot vibe. I hope this isn't how bad the film version looks... I hope as well this isn't an actual rendered shot from the movie...

Traditionally, in the comics, the ring could create things of different colors, but it took extra effort and the GLs didn't bother unless there was a good reason for it. Even if it could only create green stuff, the costume is no problem. It can create many shades of green. The white parts are very light green. The black parts are very dark green.

Of course his head looks Photoshopped onto the body; we've known almost from the beginning that his face was going to be the only non-CGI aspect of the look.

I still don't get how someone couldn't have produced this suit in reality... It seriously just looks like someone could've sewn a bunch of muscle like patches onto spandex and had him put it on.

Agreed. Someone needs to give that person the job. The suit in the original render looks like a mouldy version of guyver.

More scans from the magazine are available at superherohype

I just think having some type of suit based in reality would've given the effects crew a better chance at putting it all together in the computer. Take how Iron Man this time around was pretty much a chest plate or other bits and pieces that the actors wore and the rest was put in during post production. That route at least makes sense from a technical in camera standpoint.

this is still bugging me, but I can see that suit working ON film. Remember how awful the bat suit looked in Begins? The first time I saw the images of the first suit, I could not believe they hadn't updated it properly ( which they did nicely in Dark Knight) but I still held out hope that they would film it dark enough that it wouldn't show up that badly in the movie.With GL, I can dig the very similar design to dr Manhattan, and I can actually imagine the suit constantly shifting and changing itself, altering it's own look as he becomes more comfortable in the role of GL. The face mask thing really bugs me as you could still see his face , since it looks painted on and it does not hide it at all, but maybe again, there is something visually in the film that will make it work. Here's hoping.

Even though Dr Manhattan was all CG, the actor still wore a suit with blue led lights throughout the scenes in order to cast light on the other characters and backgrounds not to mention give the effects crew a better in camera stand in for the all cg character that was composited in.

Me and ckone were on the same thought process...

man if it wasnt for the greatest modern action director behind this... then i dont know what.

I'll save any further bitching and complaints for the trailer... It could look awesome or it could look shit. At this point though, it is a coin toss really.

I'm not normally a hater, but I love Green Lantern, and that suit looks like utter shit. Here's hoping it looks better when we see it moving. It certainly couldn't look any worse.

What if this is the suit in like some type of mid transformation and we don't even know what it looks like yet? At least there's still hope on that note I guess.

you know what i hate? when some little prick starts screaming for practical effects over cgi, purely in the hope they sound like a real geek in this cesspit. then drop a kurosawa ref to build the cred. i love comics, movies, games, etc, but the culture surrounding it all is so pathetically negative, self important and strangely competitive im constantly in awe. at least this pick looks slick and professional unlike that thor hilarity. reynolds is great in almost all he does, but i bet we're all wanting Sharlto Copely taking on Christoph Waltz eh? If i hear the word rape on here once more in regards to some virgins chilhood memories i think ill snap. or just cruise on over to variety.

Perhaps some are like me who have been reading these talkbacks for years but just as a spectator, but figure they might drop in a comment defending the suit because to some it looks quite good, and is sick of the constant hate and tears on here the last few years. Who's your reigning champ now? DGDB? I remember when lanemeyers was tearing up these arenas pal. And he truly was disturbing.

There's only one thing that is certain about the stock market and fanboys... they will fluctuate.

i see your a fan of ben graham. good things.

and that movie had kumar in it as an uptight indian exchange student!! c'mon, it takes serious method chops to immerse yourself in a film like that. or y'know...Buried aint too bad by all accounts.

he's that cunt that was in one of the Blade films, wasn't he? seems quite a decent fella, good luck with this. i think i remember this comic - he shits himself when he sees yellow or orange, something like that?

I was actually semi-quoting JP Morgan, but if it is Graham you want to apply to the situation: "Individuals who cannot master their emotions are ill-suited to profit from the investment process."

Gonna try to catch the Inception matinée in a few hours, gotta catch some Z's.

Really like the alien feeling of the suit. But wish it wasn't all green, needs black accents. Not a fan of the permed hair but stills from the filming look like RR's hair looks fine in the film. As for the mask, don't like the scoop in the middle of the brow. But anyways, can't wait to see the full suit in motion. Counting on some footage at ComicCon!

but only made prominent in the intelligent investor was it not? maybe not, i spose i wouldnt know, after all i like to buy high and sell higher, its why kicked so much ass in 2001. or lost everything. cant remember which.

the guy is too awesome! there should be a movie based on the character from commercials! comon hollywood forget this comic book junk!

..that is a terrible fucking picture. Photoshop disaster bad. His arms look like midget-guns and his head looks way too big. I'm not too sure about this whole CG costume idea... I guess there's still quite a long ways to go.

Don't put it past Hollywood.

I can see why they went to a cgi costume. the suit is alive and Im loving that idea.

New pic from Thor and the outfits are looking better than the pic that was released here…still no helmets… http://codecrackx15.wordpress.com/2010/07/16/lighting-does-wonders-for-the-thor-outfits/ I'm still liking the Green Lantern outfit better though.

Actually, slam this suit. Yuck.

I'm actually more concerned with how tanned Reynolds looks in the other pics released. Jordan is supposed to be devoid of fear, but the first sign of that camp camouflage fading, and he'd be shitting bricks.

So this suit looks better than the suits seen in Spider-Man, Iron Man, Blade, X-Men and other good Marvel movies?

Melts my popsicle.

It's the GREEN Lantern! Anybody ever seen the GREEN and WHITE and BLACK Lantern?

They go CGI, you bitch. Log back on to WOW and shut the fuck up.

this shit looks like Spawn. I hate the crappy lines on the suit and a lack of black makes him look way less interesting. The mask looks too Batman-ish. Hopefully in the movie they change this a lot based on fan response. Also hoping the lines mean the suit is coming into form and not complete in the pic. I understand comic book costumes don't usually translate well to the big-screen, but GL's should be a no-brainer. Clearly the designers of thia CGI costume wanted to change his look, but it just ends up looking bad here. They really should have gone with the designers of Spider-Man or Batman's suits and made a practical suit and add effects later. This is clearly a case when they screwed up what should have been easy ala the Superman Returns awful "red" in which they should have gone with the classic Reeve cosrume (bigger S symbol as well) but adjusted it to Brandon Rooth's size. I'm sure fanboys can come up with something better than this picture of Green Lantern.

That def does look cooler. Thanks for the link.

Kind of like they're going the-living-suit route and forgot the skin that goes over the tendons and sinews. It's probably necessary as some sort of "mapping" for all the CGI effects they're going to layer on top.

At least it looks more like the comic-book Green Lantern than any of the movie Batman costumes have ever looked.

It might not be what you were hoping for, in your heart of hearts, but at least it's not Captain America.

You have an account on ainticool.com and you come into the forums complaining about things related to nerdy movies. How exactly does this exempt you from being a nerd, brother?

word search of comment headings Good one, WB

"pathetically negative, self important and strangely competitive" describes your comment to a tee. You're complaining about other people's inability to chill by demonstrating your inability to chill?

What else is the point of posting these types of news items but to get critique? Some people say they like it, others say they don't. What's your problem? Should we start slagging people who say they like something? Take your own advice and chill.

Looking at it again, I'm totally cool with seeing how it is in the proper lighting/setting/action, if they tweak things or not, and have it actually be in the context of the movie. I think some color would accent it well (i.e. black and white), and think the CGI for the costume and the light-webbing/lines will end up largely wasted and unnecessary, but we'll see. The mask could be shaped a bit better, but we've seen MUCH worse.

I'll give it a shot. If the script is solid and the acting is pulled off, I doubt I'll be nitpicking the color scheme or the shape of his mask or if the ring is the right incarnation from the comics. I just want a good movie, please.

-Cheers

I'm starting to wonder. They really seem to come out fast when early promo images appear. PR damage control?

...couldn't be worse. What a mess. I hope that this isn't a precursor to what the movie will be.

More new images from the Green Lantern movie. http://codecrackx15.wordpress.com/2010/07/16/green-lantern-new-images/

I so, so want to like it - but it just looks so awful.

Peter Fernandez, best known as the title character's voice in the animated "Speed Racer" TV series, died Thursday from lung cancer at age 83, Anime News Network reported. Fernandez not only voiced Speed himself, but also his brother Racer X and several other characters in the English-dubbed adaptation of Tatsunoko's "Mach Go Go Go" anime series, the Internet site said. He also directed the voice cast and even wrote the lyrics to the signature theme song used in the show imported from Japan in 1967. He later played Lupin III, Daisuke Jigen, and President Jimmy Carter in a dubbed version of "Lupin III: The Secret of Mamo." His voice can be heard in such dubbed anime titles as "Astro Boy," "Gigantor," "Marine Boy," "Star Blazers: The Bolar Wars," and "Superbook." He made a cameo appearance as an announcer in the 2008 live-action "Speed Racer" film, Anime News Network said. Corinne Orr, the actress who played Speed Racer's romantic interest Trixie and younger brother Sprittle Racer, spoke with Fernandez as recently as last week, the Anime News Network said. The two had worked together on 200 productions, and she noted that he was a big star on radio and Broadway and had starred in the 1949 film "City Across the River" where Tony Curtis only had a bit part." Orr is the last surviving member of the "Speed Racer" main cast. Orr told the Web site, "His great joy was doing all these conventions and receiving the acknowledgement and accolades from all his fans at the end of his life." Producer and anime distributor William Winckler told Anime News Network that he was glad that renewed interest accompanying the 2008 live-action Speed Racer film, Fernandez "finally got the attention and respect he deserved from the general public and mainstream press."

Robert Townsend just called. He wants his METEOR MAN costume returned immediately.

Will Ferrell with a mask in a Green Lantern suit with green hair spray?

Kind of thought this costume would be a piece of cake. He looks like a green man who's been skinned alive.

...(of which I used to be one) realize that no one, outside of them, give a flying fuck about a Green Lantern movie? For the life of me, I just don't see tis doing much box office...at all.

you know, like that weird guy from The Electric Company. People aren't going to buy a Green Lantern who hasn't been skinned.

People come out for the spectacle. If it's good, people will see it. If it's shit, people won't.

is casting a white/ultra-light green glow. I would've used that approach for some gloves. Inversely, shades of very dark green could've been utilized in place of the black. Shits needs some kind of contrast.

I get what they're going for, but this is some wack-ass concept execution.

Meant the actual nit-picking, complaining 'nerds' -- I'm more of a 'dork' myself.

You must've taken a long break then, if you think DGDB still posts here under that handle. He has his own website now with his cohorts from here.

No matter what costume they unveiled, atleast half of the TBers would spit their Ovaltine at the screen and throw their pudgy arms up in the air..

may go to be happy. Though most of the forums expect total obeisance to all of the shit wHollyweird flings at us, such as comicbookmovie.com.

He looks like GREEN LANTERN to me! It's a lot closer to the comics than ANY bat-suit has ever been in the modern movies...especially the "hallowed masterpiece" THE DARK KNIGHT.

when they change things for no good reason, change iconic imagery which has worked for decades. Like I've said over and over, no one is expecting Spandex, they just want some semblance of familiarity. Look at that Batman: Arkham Asylum game -- Bats' suit looks like the classic costume, albeit interpreted via sturdier materials. Though I don't care for the tall, forward sweeping ears, as it makes him look like a doberman pincer, same problem with the TDK cowl (now that is nitpicking ;-)

People have been complaining about spandex being silly on the big screen. Yet this shit isn't silly?!?! Hell, I'll take the spandex over this shit or black leather every time!

Wow. My hopes for some decent to tolerable superhero movies is dwindling.

THE NEW GL COSTUME MAKES ME FEEL GAY!!!

I'M NOT GAY, AM I MOMMY?!!!

*AM* I????!!!!

It's not the costume. It's the guy.

It looks like the FUCKING GREEN LANTERN. My fucking god I'm actually getting legit pissed off at the talkbackers.

Good call with the bat suit.

broner time?

The common consensus does seem to be that the painted on mask look sucks. I agree. Hopefully it'll look better in later pics/video. I'm thinking it will.

I also agree with the majority of TBers that the partially whited out eyes are pretty cool. In fact, wish they had whited out Bats eyes similarly.

I like the alien, organic design of the suit. Makes sense.

I don't like the (very typical) latex/plastic texture of the suit. Would like to see things smoothed out a little.

And, yeah--I gotta see more till I make a real judgment call here.

Until then, I'm, hopeful. And I definitely don't altogether dislike the costume from this one shot.

how in the fuck "gay" became a synonym for "uncool."

Hell, I'm pretty sure I'm a lot less cool than my gay friends. In fact--hell. I know I am.

I think the 2000s slang for "gay" has to do with the common misconception that gay men (always men) are all drag queens that wear the gaudiest, tackiest, most outrageous outfits. Very few of those guys, actually, and mostly they dress up like that for the pure campy fun of it.

So, come on guys. "Gay = uncool" truly is out of fashion with all but the pre-teen/young teen crowd. Time for a change.

Really? The functional uniform that looks JUST LIKE BATMAN? We're really going to rip on that? Why, because the color scheme is off? It's got a cape, pointy bat-ears, a bat on his chest, it was widely proclaimed the best comic book movie ever, and people are crucifying it now?

Seriously people, go kiss a girl.

-Cheers

Gay is a synonym for shitty in the 2000s and has been for years, ya fag ;)

This was never supposed to be your Green Lantern costume. He is not wearing spandex. Actually, according to the producers, he's technically not wearing anything. What we interpret as a suit is actually a tangible manifestation of the green light wrapping up the man's body in beams of strength and power. It's not a costume that he takes on or off, let alone one that he has to clean. He's literally wearing green energy. Regardless of whether you like it, do you at least understand now? And, yes, of course those of you who are skilled in PhotoShop will pick up on any flaws in the photo, such as the fact that the head seems to have been attached to a CGI body. We've known from almost the beginning that the only aspect of the look that was not going to be CGI was the face. So, I guess, get over it.

and in the hi-res image I don't like the way his skin blends into the "suit". Looks like a poor photoshop job. Hoping it works better in the final film and when in motion. Kinda disturbing as is.

1) I just never got the impression the costume was energy the way the rest of the stuff the ring created was. I mean, I thought it CAME from the ring, but didn't have to look all energy/light/tangible-beams-of-power or the like. It's also not that translucent green like everything else that comes from the ring. Hence, I get it BUT I kinda thought it would look more like fabric, or more energy-converted-to-matter. But whatever.

2) I'm already over it.

-Cheers

Embracing our inner nerd, dork, and/or geek is important to productive participation here, is it not?

is the leather look on his hands. Makes it look like he's wearing gloves when they're avoiding the whole suit thing. I'll stop whining now.

...since it's all CG, it's bound to look worse in still form and is probably meant for movement that doesn't stop long enough to be considered in detail.

If Bale in his TDK suit just stood there, motionless, in full daylight, it'd start to look bad pretty quickly.

That said, this outfit still looks terrible.

And a quick web search tells me that he's still doing it, all these years later.

More power to him. TV back then was cheesy, but so immensely better than it is now.

Should give you hope for movie. And Blake Lively looks like Carol Ferris should. Plus with it being directed by Matin Campbell (Casino Royale) eases my worries a lot.

Glad it wasn't just me.

what isn't is that it's Reynolds wearing it. One typical Reynolds unfunny wisecrack, and that kills GL.

no, i doubt studios care at all these days about what a few fanboys think in advance of their movies. us readers of this site dont have the power to break an opening weekend, even though some tb'ers seem to think we do. i doubt very much anyone is planting this talkback. i think a few people who read the site regularly are just getting sick of the constant, incessant cries of disgust from a few nerds about every little detail of every movie drawn from 'geek' sources. i dont mind people voicing their opinion, but its now at a point where i can just look at a headline and know immediately what the flavour of a talkback is going to be. its boring, predictable and usually pretentious. 10 years ago we were all doing back flips at the thought of a big budget comic book film, no matter how good or bad it turned out to be. now we've decided that our precious childhood memories are in fact much too precious for the big screen. its like the id badge for being a film geek these days is adopting a vicous contempt for almost everything put in front of them.

Who'd they go to for that publicity photo? Looks like a cartoon, and it's a still.

Thanks man...I mean, how in hell anyone can bust on this Green Lantern suit for "inaccuracies" when costume designers have taken MANY liberties w/the Batman costume in EVERY film since '89 simply boggles the mind!

"The functional uniform that looks JUST LIKE BATMAN? We're really going to rip on that? Why, because the color scheme is off? It's got a cape, pointy bat-ears, a bat on his chest..." Yeah, I agree w/you in that it resembles Batman close enough that people recognize him as the character...AND the same can be said of this shot of Reynolds as Green Lantern. Are either costume perfect comic-book recreations? Sorry, NO. But if you're gonna cut some slack for The Dark Knight bat-suit, then why not for this Green Lantern suit? I'm just sayin'.

Thumbs down.

Fair enough. I am actually cutting slack for both. I mean, I DO like Batman's better, thus far. But yeah, I'll more than happily take a wait-and-see attitude. I'm just saying, TDK was probably the best comic-to-movie translation, at least overall and to most people, so bagging on that just seems, I don't know, unnecessary? Besides, compared to what came before it, not to mention how well it fit in with Nolan's vision and design? I am cutting it ALL sorts of slack (which, to me, it doesn't need).

-Cheers

...especially when it comes to the proportion of your average talkback that's just a repeated strain of, "It sucks!" and "It looks great!". Now we add a third refrain, "stop complaining!", and 80% or more of every talkback is spent on those three statements.

I'm not sure how it can be fixed. It is a "talkback", and everyone wants their opinion to be heard. If everyone took the time to explain exactly what they like & don't like about each news item, it would slow things down and likely make for more worthwhile reading. But in this day of knee-jerk, short-attention-span "discussion", that seems unlikely to me.

Someone a while back had the good idea that talkbackers could complain all they want as long as they also said one good thing in every post.

For example, "I hate the silly muscle-fiber look to this costume, which I find unappealing, even repulsive. But I think the idea of the "living costume" created by the ring's energy is clever and appropriate." If I was following the rule, that's what I'd say.

As for the plants, you're right that it's unlikely. But not out of the question that, given the power of internet word of mouth, a few people trying to undermine the momentum of bad word of mouth would be a good investment for a project with tens of millions of dollars, or more, riding on it. I suppose it could work the other way, too - how many people from Marvel get on here to bash GL, and DC people to bash Thor? Who knows.

translate to film. (A difficult costume would be Wolverine's for example.)

The power ring is energy based not organic like the Venom symbiote.

@Master Bruce

Batman's costume needs to be altered for the films because he has no super powers. A spandex like costume won't protect him from harm whereas Green Lantern's power ring does.

*FACEPALM*

Yes - I also wish they went with the Kyle Rayner mask

cowl/helmet is much too large and makes him look like a bobblehead doll (and is more reminiscent of a doberman instead of a bat), the cape just sort of twists awkwardly and only looks good when he is gliding, and the rest of it looks like a blown out, chewed up radial tire. It doesn't need to be spandex, but a type of fabric would be superior to rubber, which looks like cheap pvc on screen. There are thick, bullet proof fabrics, don't you know? All black is idiotic, as well. Black is the easiest color to see a night, particularly in a city lit by sodium vapor lights. Mixing the grey back in would make sense as camouflage, as most buildings in a city are grey. Dark blue is harder to see than black out in the countryside, where everything reflects the night sky.

Dang!

It is the reason I am here, sir
I also find the negative for a positive talkback idea to be a good one.

Now, back to the suit itself. If stwolf is correct, I think the idea of a living suit to be pretty cool, actually.

Hopefully it will be done with better taste than the last living suit -- the Symbiote that Mr. Raimi felt the need to forever ruin in the minds of the movie-going nerd/dork ;)

The GL's suit looks better than Captain America or Thor's costumes. I hate to admit it.
