Oh, yeah. As much as folks think we’re doing it for shock value, nothing we did in the story was for shock value. In my opinion, everything that’s done builds upon other things. The Creature Commandos don’t show up just because I think they’re cool, they show up because they are part of some larger purpose. Something as big as Jaime getting one in the head, I don’t do that because I think its cool. But also, it has that horrible symmetry, too. That’s what makes it a little more terrible.

Ade and I both agree that Winick can write great stories, when he takes time off trolling DC readers(it’s his hobby). Jaime Reyes, the latest Blue Beetle is THE best new DC character in the past decade(oh god, I’m old).  Just slightly winning against Damian Wayne and Cassandra Cain. And then This happens.

Y U DO DIS?

I think it’s no secret that I totally hated Hal Jordan’s costume for the Green Lantern movie. Seriously, look at it. It’s like they stuck a huge pile of moldy bacon all over Ryan Reynolds. I know it’s meant to be alien-looking and all, but it’s been a few months already and I still can’t get myself into liking it. Now they’ve revealed how the movie Power Battery looks like and it’s still very, very alien-looking and all – in fact, it’s a huge departure from the way it looks like in the comics – but here’s the thing: I actually like it. Huh.

To be honest, I don’t like the alien glyphs going all around the sides of the power battery – how Matrix can you get, really? – but I like the basic design well enough. It looks alien, which is pretty much the underlying theme in all of the Green Lantern designs we’ve seen so far. I can live with it. I hope this is how Hal Jordan’s CGI costume ends up, because it will destroy some mean shit. (continue reading…)

Over at Comicbookmovie.com, they have gotten their hands on seven Green Lantern aliens from the upcoming movie starring Ryan Reynolds, and if they are legit, the movie costumes and character designs are pretty close to the comics – with the exception of Hal Jordan’s costume, of course.

The seven aliens are Boodikka, Bzzd, Morro, Galius Zed, M’Dahna, Rot Lop Fan, and Salaak.

The images are after the break.

Err… okay. So. Here’s Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan in the upcoming Green Lantern movie. RJ likes the damn thing, but… I dunno. Not exactly a fan of the glowing lines going around the suit. Also the old-school ring isn’t doing anything for me; they should’ve used the newer ring designs. I like the mask though. I’ve always thought that Ryan Reynolds as Hal is an oddball casting choice, but it’s a gamble that just might work, especially with Martin Campbell at the helm.

Anyway, that’s the costume. What do you think?

I’m pretty sure you guys are all aware by now that us guys at Comicgasm are all huge Green Lantern nerds. And we’re obviously excited for the new Green Lantern Movie, starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, Blake Lively (HHHNNNNGH) as Carol Ferris, Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond, and Mark Strong as Sinestro. Okay, we’re not exactly excited with the guy playing Hal Jordan, but Martin Campbell’s directing this, and if Casino Royale is any indication, this movie is going to be awesome.

A few months before, we’ve seen some concept art of the GL movie leak. We don’t know if those were the concepts they used for the movie, but they were awesome. Now, from MTV, we have here newly-revealed promo art for Green Lantern. (continue reading…)
