    Looking at my retro action Green Lantern

    And for some reason the first word that pops into my head is "Fabulous!"

    It's not Hal Jordan who DC is making "fabulous" - it's poor Alan Scott on
    "Earth 2" - who had a MUCH gayer costume than Hal's.

    I have made a few Golden Age Green Lantern customs in my day, and
    the ballerina boots, the billowy shirt and the purple high collar cape
    (and don't get me started on the riding pants) did not always strike
    me as the best outfit to fight crime in.

    Nothing like being judgemental based on a person's style of dress.
    Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

    If I recall properly, didn't he pick such a garish costume so's to freak people out and distract them from guessing his identitiy? 'Course most superhero outfits aren't really practical.
