Grab your power rings; Green Lantern is now gay

[JharekCarnelian]

And now it's time for our old comic book moment. The gent on the right is the original GL, a reinterpreted version of which this whole furore is about. The gent on the left is the GL more familiar outside comics and whom the recent rather mediocre movie was about:-

I know that, I wasn't referring to "super friends." I'm ancient. Green Lantern actually lived on my block when I was but a girl.

This is too funny. My friend's boyfriend has a huge Green Lantern tattooed on his calf....he's going to be soo mad

In brightest day and darkest night
No evil shall escape kids' sight
Behind the counter and out of sight
Is where belongs Green Lantern's light!

Gee, a guy who runs around in tights and a cape is gay. D'oh!
The whole lot should come out of the closet.

Wait! Maybe the whole "caped crusader" thing was a sinister conspiracy going back decades to brainwash boys and teenagers with subliminal images of homosexuals super-heroes.

Maybe the tatoo will turn into a huge green Hulk.

You know, when this story first broke that was the first thing I thought. Those manly men who were dumb enough to tattoo the GL logo on a visible part of their body... what would they do now?

Personally I'd never wear a corporate logo on any of my clothing or get a tattoo (after all, it's not as if their paying me)
