These guys at DC Comics must be running out of material ... first, they're planning to make Superman come out of the closet ... Now Green Lantern. What's next? Wonder Woman is lesbian?

Before:

After:

[GraceG]

Bat Man....

Everyone already knows this....

[FlingWingFlyer]

They could have made this “big event” more fabulous had they changed Lantern’s name to The Chartreuse Lantern. They screwed up.

[Sola Veritas]

The need to change the character’s name to “The Pink Lantern.”

South40 <———— is proud to say DC Comics has NEVER received a single dime of his money and never will.

[publius911]

I just look at the bright side.
I know that if they even suggested in the 5os that superheroes were perverts, comic books would no longer exist.
Normal superhero versions of comic books have just quadrupled in price. How dynamic can 3% of the population and their families be?

[Terry Mross]

The Green Lantern is gay? Why am I not surprised.

[ReformationFan]

At least it wasn’t Superman, Aquaman or Batman....yet.

Is his new Oath:

In brightest day, in blackest night,

No good looking men shall escape my sight

Let those with poor fashion sense,

Beware my limp wrist, by show tunes might!!!

[Personal Responsibility]

Something tells me this will not help them sell one more book and stands a large chance of having them sell fewer books.

Sounds like a solid business plan to me.

[mikrofon]

Maybe he could go as the Gay Lantern
and spew rainbows from his ring...

[fwdude]

Who even reads these throwback rags anymore anyway?

Maybe they figured there’s nothing to lose.

[a fool in paradise]

It's an "Imaginary Tale" just like all of the rest of them.

[a fool in paradise]

What next? A special comic revealing the full details of Superboy's relationship with Krypto?

[sten]

boycott dc

unless you’re in favor of pedo friendly indoctrination for your children

[GSWarrior]

He will now be called Pantone 354-Man.

[a fool in paradise]

Does DC stand for Defective Comics? Can we get together a product liability lawsuit?

Any have John Edwards’ phone number these days?

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Did you always know that you wanted a gay character at the forefront of the Earth 2 series?

JAMES ROBINSON: The original version of Alan Scott was an older man, and he had a superpowered son, Obsidian, who was gay. The fact that Scott was young now [thanks to a universe-wide reboot] meant Obsidian no longer existed. I thought it was a shame that DC was losing such a positive gay character. I said, “Why not make Alan Scott gay?” To Dan DiDio’s credit, when I suggested it to him, there wasn’t a moment’s hesitation.

Can you talk about the new Alan Scott?

He’s a giant of the media industry. By getting involved in communication, the news, and the Internet, he’s become a billionaire. He’s kind of a cross between Mark Zuckerberg and David Geffen. The original Alan Scott owned a radio station in the ’40s and ’50s, so he was a media giant then. He was this bold, heroic, brave man who took control, who would risk his life for you and be this emerald knight that was always there to protect the world. The Alan Scott I’m doing now is that same dynamic, brave, honorable man. A man that you’d want guarding your welfare, your children, your life, your home. He’s willing to give his life for the world. He’s everything you want in a hero. And he happens to be gay. So really, apart from his sexuality, there isn’t that much of a difference.

DC reveals gay superhero:
James Robinson discusses the new (old) Green Lantern

Well, being in the media industry certainly fits the modern prototype.

[SMGFan]

Well with all of the numbered “Earth:’s in the infinite Earths there must an all gay superheroes world.

[50sDad]

"He's someone you would want to watch over your children," Robinson said of Scott.

Cold day in hell, brutha.
