May 27, 2012 12:45 pm The Manhunters might be really cool, seeing what we just did go down between the Oans and Red Lanterns. It's the sign of a great rogues gallery when they can hold off using Sinestro while still challenging Green Lantern with compelling big bads.

May 26, 2012 6:56 pm Awesome finale! I think I liked the "War of Light" better here than in the comics, lol. Two things of special interest to me in this episode: 1) I like how they included the beat where Hal tells Atrocitus he understands what's driving his anger, that he's right to be angry, and offers to work with him to find a non-violent solution. Even though Atrocitus is way past that and they wind up beating the crap out of each other, that kind of stuff is important to show now and then; the hero reminding the villain it's never too late to change. 2) If the show continues to keep Hal & Company adventuring in deep space next season, it's going to be even harder to put Hal in new romantic settings - now that the show has strengthened the Hal/Carol love before its young audience's eyes! Eeep. Is there a way to define "open relationship" to our younger viewers? lol

May 26, 2012 6:44 pm APACHE CHIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!! EH-NEEK-CHOK!!!!! Just when I thought I couldn't love this show any more than I did - they go and add Apache Chief. Rock ON! Can Samurai and El Dorado be far behind? lol And I agree with the above posts about Jaime/Blue Beetle growing on us, this was the first time I ever really liked him. The relationship between Jaime and his Scarab was pretty funny at times, I hope they keep that up.

May 24, 2012 6:19 pm @snake, I dunno. If the DCU has shown females married to each other, perhaps it was in 1990's Wonder Woman / Themysciran continuity? I know the Amazon characters and culture were fleshed out very well back then... but then again, I can see the Amazons looking on the concept of "marriage" as an invention of Man's World. Okay, I'm amending my reaction to gay Alan Scott. Though I'm still underwhelmed (if he is indeed the one who will be gay) I do applaud DC for at least trying to add more gay representation in their mainstream superhero comic books. It isn't the route I'd take, but at least it's a route. And who knows? James Robinson might very well write the hell out of this story, he might knock it out of the park. I might be cheering this decision a few months from now. I guess my real problem is with DC's PR Department - which constantly gooses readers into coming up with more exciting stories than the ones that are eventually revealed. There is a difference between teasing and tempting your audience and goosing it; I wish DC PR would figure that out.

May 24, 2012 5:00 pm Omg, "Fancy Dress Star Wars" is so awesome!

May 24, 2012 2:14 pm Now it looks like it'll be Alan Scott. An alternative Green Lantern on (now) an alternative universe Earth. Yawn. Way to go, DC.

May 24, 2012 3:40 am Ryan Choi isn't "iconic / major" enough to fit Dan DiDio's tease. Up until now, I didn't even remember Choi was in the New 52...

May 23, 2012 2:58 pm Unless they want to do gay teen love with him and Bunker, it wouldn't make sense to put two of your very few DCU gays on the same team / book.

May 23, 2012 2:55 pm I agree, I've always loved that bit of voice casting. When I was in my teens, I wanted them to make a live action DKR movie starring Clint Eastwood. I still hear his voice when I read through panels of the graphic novel (when I'm not hearing Michael Ironside) (or any of the other voices in my head).

May 23, 2012 2:51 pm I like to think Paul doesn't care for it because of Superman's negative portrayal.
