Looking at my retro action Green Lantern

[mego73]

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

LOL! The signs have always been there.

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.

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.
