Wow, now you’re treading into Dumbsville. Seriously. You can’t be this dense.
Well, it’s a little different with GL, because part of the nature of being a GL is that you’re part of a team. Was it a little stupid to start introducing other human GLs? I’d say so. If there are only a few GLs per sector in the universe, it seems unlikely to me that all of the best ones happen to be of the same species from the same planet. That’s just racist.
That’s one of the few times that such a contrivance actually worked. Just about the only thing I liked about the Crisis is that the Flash changeover was dealt with in a really clever way. It was a nice send-off for Barry.
Yup.
Actually considering how powerful Superman is in the comics he was pretty weak in the cartoon. Then again, I guess he would have to be raped considerably seeing as how he could easily handle most episodes in a matter of minutes. He could literally solo just about every situation the team had heh.
Bruce Timm has gone on record several times admitting that he didn’t realize they nerfed Supes in the first season of JL, so they made a conscious effort to show his strength a bit more in JLU.
Superman: TAS, on the other hand, was in keeping with the Byrne revision, which was still dominant at the time the show was conceived. Superman got knocked around in the show because he could get knocked around in the comics. It didn’t seem especially super, but they wanted the show to be consistent for the readers. For the same reason, in the Green Lantern episode, they decided to use Kyle, who was being touted as the new main GL at the time. They gave him a very Hal-like origin, though, so it was just a matter of changing him from a test pilot to a freelance artist.
That guy is an idiot. I just told him a story where Martian Manhunter “doesn’t hold back” destroys Superman (and the rest of the league) and he still asked for proof. Someone else told him about how John became the caretaker of Mosaic and he still asked how that’s an example of John’s ability. And there was the cover of the Neal Adams-era GL with John holding a busted Hal. Then the idiot started bringing Pre-Crisis Superman into the discussion, even though we were talking about Superman. It’s hopeless. You can’t reason with a guy who doesn’t read.
Seeing as how I havn’t seen John do anything close to what Jordan or Kyle has done in there career I dont think im to out of line. Anyways though it doesnt matter, I have the comics and pretty much the entire comic community on my side so believe what u want. Just read a lantern comic and you’ll see yourself, hey ask any comic geek and you’ll see that im right.
Sorry ill rephrase that, the entire comic commuinity that actually reads and keeps up with the comics i mean, basically fans I guess.
Yeah, because we’re all newbies to comic books, right? Good assumption. Most of the time, you have to read the entire wiki in order to get an idea of something. Reading Hal’s name 100 times doesn’t prove anything.
wtf, we’re still on this shit? jesus…rik give up…you’ve been at this like all holiday weekend. stubborn fool.
just admit you dont know shit about johns. dc has him mentally above kyle. also due to his archtecture his stuff is more solid, its very thought out structure wise…most likely making more stronger than compared to other lanterns.
DC cracks me up. Kyle’s stuff is really stupidly elaborate because he’s an artist. John’s stuff is really solid and structurally sound because he’s an architect. I guess if Edvard Munch were a Green Lantern, his stuff would all scream.
…So is Green Arrow gonna be in this?
sodam yat would probably own him for free. superman+power ring > highball
edit: rik, man, just quit acting like pre-crisis supes is current and it’s ok to use him to back your supes arguments. it’s not. i’m just taking a while guess here, but does “the entire comic community that keeps up with the comics” agree that talking about PC supes as the current supes is acceptable? if so, i must be on the bizarro world.
i kind of feel like a fucking idiot for even reading your posts at this point dude. next time i reply to one of his posts would someone let me know so i can delete it? thx.
Rik rolled.
In the movie, all bets are off. They are not at all obligated to stay current with the comics, and the public at large still thinks of Superman as the indestructible guy who can do anything.
Thats exactly my point, the silver age powerset is what really made Superman “Super”. He is known for being a guy with all kind of Godly feats, it might not be what Superman is currently in the comics but in the mind of a lot of fans it should be. Even though supes was depowered in his current comic iteration he still remains vastly more powerful then any animated depiction. Regardless of what a lot of people on here think a lot of comic fans do consider the JL/JLu series a low showing for superman and a lot of other DC characters in general. Im not saying the animation was terible or that the show was even that bad, but IMO i was never really impressed with the display of power just because im to used to all the crazy comic feats.
Now on the topic of the green lantern, I will always see the green lantern as Hal Jordan no matter what the circumstances are. At best the only other replament I could see is someone like Kyle, but even then I still consider Jordan the only"True Green Lantern". While im on it that really brings me to the other point about this whole issue. The premise of the JL was to unite the most “powerful” superheroes into a single team. John isnt considered a top tier…in fact I could give you a lot of other characters who are equally as powerful or even more so then him who have better name reconition. So then why is he on the team…well as Bruce Timm said because they wanted"Diversity". Therefore, I cant respect a inclusion that was based on race.
The point is that WB is likely going to want to tailor the movie in a way that shoots for the lowest common denominator–in other words, the Superman that the majority of people will be familiar with (generally pre-Crisis), the Green Lantern that the majority of people will be familiar with (John, easily), and so forth.
There will most certainly be a subset of the audience who disagrees with the choices, just like with any comic book movie, but WB is going to worry first and foremost about how to get the most money out of their movie–and that means catering to casual audiences. That’s how it works.
Yeah and I agree with that as well, but I dont really see John being the msot reconized Lantern. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what the studio does, but I personally think they will be going with Jordan. Besides that, they did say they where going with the original 7 members so i think that kind of confirms jordan will be in the film. Oh and the JL/JLU cartoons where only around for a couple of years, the original JL comics have been around for decades so im getting the impression the comic community has the bigger draw.
You know what’s funny? Rik is 21 and he’s talking like some sort of 45 year old virgin living in his mom’s basement. Seriously, the days of being a purist are done. And even then, Pre-Crisis Supes was a jumbled up mess. They got rid of him for a reason with Crisis On Infinite Earths.
And John Stewart IS the most recognizable GL. He has toys, guest stars in a shit-ton of JL-related comics, and was the main GL in JL/JLU(which MANY have watched). So yeah, he has a lot of fans.
EDIT - Fuck it. I hope they pick G’Nort as GL for the movie so they can piss you off.
Nah they won’t, there going to show Supes at his PC powerset and get a guy to play Jordan. LMAO at the “John Stewart IS the most recognizable GL” bit though, funny stuff man.
Yeah, because you forget that comic book readers are outnumbered a billion to 1, right?
