I thought it was going to be Aquaman.

What an awesome move by DC, supporting gays around the universe.

[_Star_Wolf_]

Kind of surprising it wasn't Aquaman.

Kinda cool though. I mean, idgaf about a character's sexuality really, but as long as it's a character trait and not a gimmick to be exploited then do w/e

i've seen that pic before lol

[BackupAlt]

Dude, no.

Bucket, women may have ruined your life, but I can fix it

Green Lantern just got a lot more interesting. My DC readership will probably be more than just the Batman titles now.

[Glodson]

Let's see if it this is more than a gimmick.

[Buddyroe274]

Making this officially the only interesting thing about him.

[_Star_Wolf_]

I'm hoping it's not just a gimmick. They could work this into the character in a respectable manner.

As in, it's just a character trait vs. "GUYS HE'S GAY. DID YOU SEE THAT HE IS GAY? HE'S GAY. DID YOU SEE THAT? WHOA, WE'RE COOL BECAUSE WE MADE HIM BE GAY. HE'S GAY. GIVE US ATTENTION. HE'S GAY"

Kind of expecting the latter. Hoping for the former.

[Glodson]

Exactly. It could be something good. Something that adds to the character and opens up narrative threads and allows the mature exploration of LGBT issues with the backdrop of a superhero's life and all...


Or it could be "oh, he's gay!!!"

[The-Green-Hornet]

Its the Original Golden Age Green Lantern Alan Scott, not Hal Jordan, who if had oscar caliber writers would still be boring as hell.

i think it'll be a gimmick.

[Mjöllnir]

I'm sure they'll find a way to incorporate the difficulties of maintaining a homosexual relationship and social discrimination into the plots.

[RedFacekill]

I could imagine snuff

[dr_gonzo]

Well, Alan Scott always did have a weakness to wood.

Aquaman is a Zoophile .

Sure he's gay ,but he gets gay with fish and squids .

He learned his lesson about getting gay with dolphins though .

One time and the whole species  just won't shut up about it .

[dposse]

well, its the first Green Lantern. But, pretty cool.

[Llama_Fly_Aardvark]

comics are gay

That makes me think that DC just trolled the entire LGBT community.

[Razzamatazz]

And I still don't give a crap about Green Lantern.

DC comics has other gay characters, too, including Kate Kane, the current Batwoman, The Question, and married characters Apollo and the Midnighter.

If I remember my DC mythos correctly, The Question is former Gotham PD officer Renee Montoya. Batwoman is obvious. Don't know who Apollo and the Midnighter are.

Guess that's what happens when you find your girlfriend in a fridge.

It would have made more sense if he was into BDSM like Wonder Woman.  He can conjure all his equipment.
