I can't wait to see the reboot of the film, Jim Parsons can star in it.

Dammit .

I was hoping it was Guy Gardner..cause that would have been both Hilarious and awesome.

Meanwhile Maggie Sawyer, Renee Montoya, and Obsidian have actually been written out of the Nu52.

And Batwoman is apparently just being ignored.

When this bombs then what? Do they really think people want to see a gay super hero? No one wanted to see the movie when he was straight, this will distroy the comic and they'll call everyone who stopped buying it "bigots".

Gay spy would be much more interesting. Who does the enemy send in to seduce a gay or bisexual spy?

A superantihero comic named The Gay Cannibal will sell 100s of millions of copies.

His superpower is being invisible to TSA airport screeners.

Jared Leto can be the superantihero, making the world safe for heterosexuals by eating 1 homo at a time.

Real cannibal starred in snuff gay porn, a very profitable genre

I recently read an article from Britain speculating that Batman would be coming out of the closet. I have no problem with a super hero or a super villain being gay, and with them coming out as long as there is a story involved. I am a little upset with DC for making it the Green Lantern, because Batman coming out would explain a lot between him and Robin, and because Green Lantern coming out does not exactly risk a movie franchise. Granted, the Green Lantern coming out gives them excuse for making a second movie to see if it too will fail, but the thought "with little risks comes little rewards" arises.

This was a double post.

A proton walks into a bar and orders a Tom Collins.
After the drink is done the Bartender asks the proton if he would like another.
The proton declined another drink.
A few minutes later the Bartender ask, "Are you sure you don't want another drink?"
The proton replies, "I'm positive."

You know what also explains these things? Reading.

Wow.

It isn't even one of "the" Green Lanterns, though, it's Alan Scott. He's a Green Lantern from an alternate universe.

Hell, even before the Nu52, he wasn't generally considered a "real" GL --he was an old Golden Age magic-using hero who called himself "Green Lantern" but was never actually part of the Corps.

It's the very definition of tokenism, which admittedly is what the Nu52 seems entirely built on (replacing the multi-ethnic and gender-balanced cast with a smaller cast of white males [and a few token sex-objects]).
