Here is Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern!

[M.O.Steel]

the mask looks pretty standard, i didn't notice anything. what's the complaint people have with that?

[Doc Samson]

and approx 60% give it 8 or above. so it seems like even a group of comic book board posters still like it.

i'm sure if it is a good movie, people will forget, just like the x-men series, transformers (still hate the flames tho), batman original and reboot.

and even with a costume accurate hero like ghost rider wont save the film.

This is the thing people need to be worried about. I understand we're on a board to discuss and nitpick simply because we barely get any news from month to month, but if they nail the movie, nobody is going to worry about how his mask fits on his nose. I think it's pretty easy to tell it's a doctored picture anyway, just like the first image of Ironman was, let's see how it really looks in action before we decide if it sucks or not

[dark_b]

about the CGI

it is CGI because they want suble energy movement on the suit while he stands ,talks and fights.

if it could be done with a practical suit they woud do it. since it couldnt be done its CGI. the problem now is that when you will watch the movie you will see something that is not possible in real life. so your brain will automatic scream to you ''fake''.

the question for every individual here is if you accept a suit that will look alien and will have a second skin that moves?understand what i am trying to say?

No.

They chose to use CGI because 1) it was a good fit with the notion that it would be an energy construct from the power ring, which is basically an artificial intellegence or a super computer and 2) they have the ability now to pull off affects that can not be done or would be cost prohibitive with a conventional costume. As far as the audience's preception of it being fake, we all know that science fition/fantasy has elements in the genre that are fake going into it already so that point is insignificant.

[terry78]

We all knew the Iron Man suit was CG in most of the scenes where he's actually moving around, yet it was still plausible.

[That-Guy]

the mask looks pretty standard, i didn't notice anything. what's the complaint people have with that?

My only issue with the mask is that it looks almost like it's painted on. But I'm judging it from one still photo... it might look a lot cooler in motion.

Love the rest of the costume though.

[DACMAN]

In all honesty, you have to ask yourself if something as powerful as the ring could create a uniform, why would it look like something you could stitch together yourself? The only logical reason is that Hal willed it to look like something Earthly.

I think he needs to will himself a new wig while he's at it.

[dark_b]

didnt i writte the same ?

[DACMAN]

and even with a costume accurate hero like ghost rider wont save the film.It wouldn't hurt either. I think the only reason I got all the way through Ghost RIder was because they did Ghost Rider right at least.

[dnno1]

didnt i write the same ?

No, not exactly. You said that they wanted energy motion with the suit and I am saying that it is simpler than that. Since the ring is like a super computer it made sense to go with a CGI suit and from there they could take advantage of your so called "energy motion" and such with the suit since these are ancillary benefits of the effect. The second point is the same as my second, but I don't buy the audience seeing it as fake part since this is all science fiction (make believe) which presumes that is it fake to begin with. In order to appreciate SciFi, there has to be a level of suspension of disbelive. If one can't do that they are better off not following the genre.

Co-sign that one - some of the complaints that I'm reading thus far astound me, to be honest; each to their own and all that but still.

All I know is that come opening day I'm going to be loving watching Hal flying through space on the big screen in a costume that I havent got a problem with.

Umm, shadows are areas where there is no light and hence the color (not the pigment) is black by definition since that is the absence of color. In other words, you can't say that there are shadows there but they are not black.

Yeah, I'm serious. Shadows are black. If you see shadows, then then you see black.

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

Yeah, I'm serious. Shadows are black. If you see shadows, then then you see black.

doesn't mean the suit has black coloring, or parts of the suit are black. Do you even know what the hell a shadow is?

seriously

just get out of here with that ****

you're freaking done

[lixdexia]

Yeah, I'm serious. Shadows are black. If you see shadows, then then you see black.
no, if you see shadows you see a reduction in light do to it being blocked in a particular direction, for a shadow to be visible the source must still be receiving light from another direction. black is black, shadows are not.

[mastermindjcg]

Well, look at the bright side, at least there are no rubber nipples on the suit.

-so sayeth the mastermind-

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

no, if you see shadows you see a reduction in light do to it being blocked in a particular direction, for a shadow to be visible the source must still be receiving light from another direction. black is black, shadows are not.

he's just trying to be a smart ass is all he's doing

either that or he really is stupid...or very ignorant

[dnno1]

no, if you see shadows you see a reduction in light do to it being blocked in a particular direction, for a shadow to be visible the source must still be receiving light from another direction. black is black, shadows are not.

If it's being blocked then there is no light. If the light is being reduced then it is being either diffused or filtered out and in those cases they are not shadows since they wouldn't necessarily be dark. In the image those are dark (black) spots indicating shadows.

go smoke your crack

got that right, and with the mood I'm in right now, not a chance, I'd drop him freaking flat if he were here in front of me. So not the day to put up with annoying BS, not...the...damn..day

[afan]

Speaking of shadows....can the ring be used to shave?:woot:

[dnno1]

Yes, he can. Either by creating a razor or by having the ring just make the hair disappear.

[Syncos]

Wow. Really? Did I really just read this?

Shadows are black? So the costume has black?

First of all, You're all kinds of wrong here. Shadows aren't "black" I don't know what you're babbling about, but you're clearly just using color theory buzz words. Yes, black is the absence of color. But the color isn't going away in a shadow. Having less light cast on an object doesn't somehow remove the color.

A shadow is simply a dark area of whatever color the object is. if the shadow is cast on something green, (in this case) you're seeing a darker shade of green. Sometimes it can get so dark that it looks black, to the eye, but it's not.

The definition of a shadow it that area where there is no light. The absence of light (or color) is black. If the costume is an energy construct (supposedly generated and radiating light as you can see by the image) and there are parts of it that have shadows, then they must be intrinsically black since there is no light there. If the costume were generating light in those locations, there would be no shadows visible.

[Octoberist]

You didn't explaining it well, dnn1 that's why everyone's up in arms.

FOR THIS ALIEN COSTUME, the suit might be fairly dark, but when the green lights are illuminated in the veins, it 'creates' the Green Lantern uniform pattern that we know and love. So the 'shadow' on the costume might be a constant black void of no light, so no matter what it'll be black under the arms, etc. I think that's what you're trying to say.

[GhostPoet]

My only complaint is that I think the costume needs more color than just green...because the mask looks out of place with the rest of the organic/alien looking costume.

that it looks like face-paint, that the shape is awkward, that the mask doesn't disguise his face at all

the face-paint thing i can understand. but the mask never really disguised his face...:whatever:

i dunno, maybe it's just me then. it looks just like the other GL costumes.

[Karelia]

The only thing I don't like about the mask is that it doesn't cover his nose. I think the white/glowing eyes are awesome! :D

[M.O.Steel]

doesn't cover the nose?

[GoblinWhirlwind]

All this time I'd been hoping they'd make his eyes glow like Dr. Manhattan's, and it's not quite... but sorta.

[Karelia]

You can see his nose... in most of anything else it's covered up. It just bugs me a little is all. :D

[terry78]

This discussion is still going on, huh?

[M.O.Steel]

just trying to figure out what people didn't like about the mask.

i can see people being against the decisions with the suit, the mask wasn't as obvious to me

[Doctor Jones]

I must be crazy, because I clearly see black. The shadows are covering alot of it, but I do see black.

[JokerLedger]

My only complaint is with the domino mask. I mean, it doesn't look BAD but I was hoping for more of the classic V shape. I also think it could've been designed just a little better. I mean... look at the Comedian's mask or Ozymandias'... it took something simple and made it look intricate. I was kind of hoping for that kind of style but hey~ his whole costume is cgi, they can make changes at will.

But overall I'm very satisfied with the costume.

Yeah, I agree. This seems to be a lot of people's complaint.

His hair as it usually is does look more Hal, but it's not that big of a concern to me. As long as he gets the personality right, which I'm sure he will. :woot:

[The Guard]

Now there's too much green on this suit again?

Even in that poorly colored picture, he essentially has green on the same areas the classic version does. The rest of the suit is clearly black.

Are we to believe that the suit is green...and yet, within a green glow, it looks blacker than it does green?

Really?

[Doctor Jones]

It is dfficult to tell, but that doesn't mean you can't tell. I see black. Alot of it is shadow. But the black goes beyond the reach of the shadow. It's kind of obvious, we should know where our shadows would rest and how far they would go on our body. Look at the lighting. Lighting gives a good idea where the light was placed, and then the shadow comes from the light's position. The light seems to be coming from behind him, so the shadow would be in the position under his arm. BUt it would'nt go all the way down to the bottom of his torso and the bottom of the picture. There is black. On his right side and his right forearm (from our view) there is black.

[Tony Stark]

OK, I guess I'm going to be one of the few decentors. This is quite possibly the worst interpretation for a Superhero costume ever. Alien muscle fibers? What the hell is that. Honestly how do you screw something up like this so badly?

The chest lantern is probably the worst thing about it. It doesn't stand out, infact it looks as if it just lays flat on his chest. The look is totally undynamic.

I think Ryan himself, with the mask, has the right look for Jordan, but the costume is just awful.

[Doctor Jones]

Uh huh. The worst superhero costume. Try B&R's Batman costume, the first Captain America movie costume, and Catwoman's costume for her film. Please, we all know people here won't be saying that by next summer. All ths hyperboic "worst costume ever" "They ****ed it up" crap will be gone.

Yes it's hard to outdo Bat-nipples, I'll give you that. But the design is just very weak. This is about as bad as Alex Ross' Spider-man movie costume design, that thankfully wasn't used.

GL's costume allways struck me as sleek and stylish, in all the different interpretations. This doesn't have any of that, and I can't get over how weak the chest emblem looks. Yeah it's lit up, but it looks flat, and overall blah.

More than the costume, it's the concept that I find bad. Making the suit some kind of H.R. Geiger bio-mechanical look is just all wrong.

How can I exaggerate, when it's my opinion.

Sheez, I love how if you hate the costume, you are either a fanboy, or a hater, or exaggerating.

I guess I missed the part in the SHH terms of agreement that you must like all superhero artwork and agree with the opinions of the masses.

So just to be clear. I hate this concept. Hate it! Hate it! Hate it!

[Octoberist]

People can have far-fetch opinions too. It's one thing to dislike it, but when a fanboy says (Worst "blah" ever), I can't take it seriously because there are far more worse costumes out there. Halle's Catwoman. Joel's Batman films. Raimi's Green Goblin.

Sorry, I'm not a fanboy. To me this is as bad if not worse than the Green Goblin costume.

This should have been simple to translate on film. Instead they get some stupid idea that they'll make it look like the Green Guyver, and put all this bio-mechanical look for it. That's never been GL.

The look just isn't dynamic. It's flat, and quite frankly boring. I hope the CG will be better for the movie, but this has been dissapointing to me.

Again quit with the condecending "you're a fanboy if you don't like it".

[Doctor Jones]

This is more interesting to look at than the typical spandex looking costume in the comics. The comics costume just loos like something we've all seen before, jsut in a different pattern and colors. Nothing that special about it. This actually takes the concepts from the comics into account and applies it in real life. Much more interesting. In motion he'll be even more interesting to look at. I'm betting the constructs will too.

I’m just glad that Jack Black isn’t on that cover as Green Lantern. I’ll wait until they release the trailer before making my final judgment on the costume. We don’t see him from head to toe, but at least he's wearing a green mask, green ring and green costume. As a result he looks like the character in my eyes.

Let’s keep in mind that Green Lantern isn’t universally known as Batman, Superman and Spiderman. I don’t think the costume looks bad on the magazine cover and it’s the character’s first adaptation on the big screen. They will probably make several different versions of the costume in future installments (i.e. Batman) if the first movie is successful.

[M.O.Steel]

i find it strange when people say its flat, boring, un-dynamic. if anything, i can understand the argument that it is too complicated, or too complex, or too busy instead of a simple costume.

if anything, it looks too complex and over-done than flat and boring.

[Octoberist]

I've read some people's comments on various sites who dismissed the movie due to the photo. WIth the ones not familar with Green Lantern, they have no idea what the movie has in store for them. Space operas and aliens.

If I was a non-fan and saw the pix, I wouldn't think that it'll be a Star Wars type film.

Yes it is over-done, or at least over-thought. When I say flat and undynamic, I'm talking about the chest symbol and the mask. There's nothing about them that stands out. They should have gone with the blackest night chest lantern.

[Crook]

Actually, they've gotten closer to the actual concept of the ring's powers than the source itself. The comics, in relation to the GL suits, never really adhered to the light-powered construct rule. They've always made it indistinguishable from the conventional superhero outfit. Had we not known about the ring, we wouldn't think twice that it was some stitched-up fabric made for him.

The look just isn't dynamic. It's flat, and quite frankly boring. I hope the CG will be better for the movie, but this has been dissapointing to me.

:huh:

Praytell how is a nicely outlined green/black outfit that looks like any other superhero costume, more dynamic than what we have? Hate on the design all you like, but it has far more depth and "pizzaz" than any rendition of the suit thus far.

[arman200]

I'm not praising the suit, but I'm not really trying to moan about it either. I think it's okay, not particularly impressive though. I do wish the hair was combed though, but that's a minor complaint.

[Octoberist]

I just think for the photo shoot (with the costume), Ryan's hair looked 'off'. However, in the other photos, his hair looked fine. But yeah, it's still not combed.

[DarkKnight FTW]

Posted in the News Forum, its from a Brazilian site called Omelette:

We took the footage of Green Lantern (Green Lantern) and in the end. Day 89 of a total of 100 days of adaptation before the cameras. But he gave - and left - time to talk during our visit to the set in the pleasant New Orleans with director Martin Campbell, producer Donald De Line and the two players, Ryan Reynolds (Hal Jordan / Green Lantern) and Mark Strong (Sinestro).

We also spoke with costume designer, production designer and special effects that went into details about the film and basically told the whole story, while showing concept art and pictures of absolutely everything that we see the adaptation. Obviously does not count anything too specific here (we're under embargo from the studio), but we can say some things.

First, the image that Entertainment Weekly released the uniform of the Lantern is still a work in progress. From the neck down is basically what we see in the film, but the mask is not exactly like the photo. The format is the same, but it seems to apply in the face of the hero, as a physical mask, not painted on it, as shown.

My overall impression was of fidelity to the original material, with emphasis on the series Secret Origins of Geoff Johns - who served as consultant on the film, opining on the script and all creation. For the Green Lantern Corps was created in detail 25 characters (outside the Guardians of the Universe), each with its distinctive energy signature, but overall we see a crowd of 3,600 lanterns in a key scene from the movie. And fans of Sinestro will be happy to know that the mustache is untouched, and thin divided into the corners of his mouth. Mark Strong is remarkably similar to the character in the adventure! He took a photo of your own makeup bag, so I could see how it was characterized.

Of course there are several adjustments, especially in relation to the villain Parallax and its origin, but it's the Green Lantern movie that fans want to see. The struggle of willpower against fear and its physical incarnation is the central theme, as in recent comics.

And better yet, the producers have already outlined the ideas for the second and third movies - and say that anything can happen in these: evil Sinestro, War of the Ring, Hal Jordan yielding to power, the destruction of Coast City ... everything we've seen in comics in the sequences can win version ... just that it has good box office.

The other important detail (at least for me, ehehehe) that I could handle the iconic Lantern Hal Jordan, inherited from Abin Sur, and wear the ring on his finger. Obviously, I could not resist and touched the jewel in the torch to carry it, as I saw the character doing so often in comics. Noting my enthusiasm, the head of props quickly called it, causing the flashlight to issue a strong green light from its center. Seeing me there, with ring and flashlight shining in their hands, I could only do what any nerd pedigree would do: chanting the oath of the Green Lantern Corps. Anyway, it was one of the "clearest days of my life from comic book fan.

The complete interviews and reporting in detail - Exclusive Omelette in Latin America! - You will read closer to the film's release on June 17, 2011 3-D and 2-D (and speaking of conversion into 3-D, Campbell said that fans can rest easy, he will have much time to convert your movie to the format and nothing will be rushed).

[DarkKnight FTW]

Oh and 1 more thing:

One of the main alien Green Lanterns is a completelly original character and his design was created by Ivan Reis.

[camp Blood]

I would have to agree that the costume is a little busy

I hope that as he develops his powers that the costume will come together and look closer to the original

I don't mind the suit having an alien look, but the lack of sleekness for something that is unsymetrical and looking like muscle fibers is just lame.

I've already explained what I meant by undynamic. Go look at the chest emblem for Blackest Night and compare it to this. The movie symbol just lies flat on his chest. Nothing pops out.

And if they did the generic looking spandex look suit from the comics that wouldn't be lame I guess? Generic in terms of how every comic book hero looks like he or she is wearing spandex. They have the typical line patterns but it's all the same thought. This isn't that busy, just more creative than the comic book look which is taken from that look. I don't see any significant departure other than more details in the basic image of the comics suit.

Not understanding what you mean here. There's nothing asymmetric about this design, and I don't know how you can get more sleek than what is literally a second skin.

I've already explained what I meant by undynamic. Go look at the chest emblem for Blackest Night and compare it to this. The movie symbol just lies flat on his chest. Nothing pops out.
It lies flat on his chest because the entire suit is mere light projected on top of his skin. It's not supposed to be material. You can compare it to any of the comic book renditions, I guarantee the light emitted from the "muscle fibers" alone, make the movie suit stand out much more.

We'll have to see it in motion, but all the descriptions have made it sound like this is going to be an organic design especially during fight scenes. You don't have this with a regularly tailored costume.

Chest emblem vs the entire outfit, which would you have rather stand out overall?

[Tony Stark]

there are imperfections, cracks in the muscle fibers. Look toward the waist. It's not completely symetrical. When I mean sleek, I mean race car sleek. Like I say there is more of the Guyver than Green Lantern in that suit.

I want the outfit to resemble what different artists have drawn him since the Silver Age. It's as if the people who designed this outfit said, "to hell with what all those guys at DC did".

[Doctor Jones]

No they didn't. What the hell are you talking about? The basic design IS there. The colors, the symbol, the mask (which we've learned it will be physical) They just realized the concept in live action. The idea of the costume in the comics is that it is alien no? Even if it is in the comics, it still looks like a generic superhero costume. They made it stick out on film. Because it is alien. You do that. I don't want to see the spandex suit because it will be like any other real world suit. This should be otherworldly. They just used the basic designs and gave it more life and more creativity. Drawing a suit like that takes more thought than the one we see in the comics, which are just lines and patterns with solid colors.

This pretty much sums up how I feel about it now. Last night I was looking at a few comic shots, and the comic suit looks so plain by comparison now. Over the past week I've really come to love the movie suit, and just like everyone else has said, it really looks like it was created from an otherworldly power. Even when drawn by Mauro Cascioli, it just looks like spandex. The movie suit really pops.

[Syncos]

The definition of a shadow it that area where there is no light. The absence of light (or color) is black. If the costume is an energy construct (supposedly generated and radiating light as you can see by the image) and there are parts of it that have shadows, then they must be intrinsically black since there is no light there. If the costume were generating light in those locations, there would be no shadows visible.

You're still wrong here.

The definition of a shadow is not an area where there's no light.
That definition (or as close a definition as there is to that) is a reference to illustration in which a shadow is a representation of the absence of light.

That's shadowing, though. A shadow, thing seen in day to day life is actually: "1. a dark figure or image cast on the ground or some surface by a body intercepting light.

2. shade or comparative darkness, as in an area."

It's an area where light is being blocked. Not necessarily completely. If the image didn't have any light on it, there would be no visible detail. it would be entrely in darkness.

Now. that term was chosen pretty deliberately. Darkness. Not Blackness. Something with a shadow cast on it, is just a darker color of itself. it doesn't lose any of it's color, or any of it's saturation.

"The absence of light (or color) is black."

Light and color are not interchangeable words here. Black is the absence of color, not the absence of light. Having a 100% lack of light, simply means something's not being seen. not that it's changed colors.

Please stop fighting that because there's a shadow, that there's black. If for no other reason, than it's entirely different. People are upset because there's no areas of the costume that aren't green. Even if your argument was correct, then there'd still be times where the entire costume would be hit by a light source, thus illuminating your imaginary black, to green.

I was under the impression the ring created an outfit based on the wielder. The ring is the alien equipment, I don't think his costume needs reflect that. That being said, I don't really hate it. I really miss the black and white, as it was a nice way to break up the green. But the textures and even lines are nice.

[Astro13Zombie]

A new picture of the green lantern.

[The Guard]

I don't really see the Guyver comparison. To me his outfit looks more like Spawn's.

He looks more like Spawn.

http://www.culch.ie/images/Spawn001.jpg

Wait...no it doesn't. It doesn't really look like either. The old TV Flash outfit, maybe?

Nah.

If they were going with the armored muscle look, I'm really glad they took the organic idea and ran with it. Rumpy said they've gotten closer to the costume as a source of the rings powers than anything else has, and I agree. I also like what I've heard about different energy signatures for the various Lanterns.

I'm iffy on how that emblem doesn't "stand out". It's brighter than the rest of the suit, and it's set apart. It doesn't "pop" out from his chest, true. But it certainly stands out in that it looks almost exactly like it always has. There was a time when the emblem wasn't 3D. I wouldn't mind if it was, but this works too. Actually, I'd love to see both at some point during the film.

Not seeing asymmetry, either. There are striations, veins and "cracks" in the suit, but it looks to me like they are symmetrical.

The outfit certainly does resemble the classic design. It doesn't look just like it, but it does clearly have similar elements.

And the definition of shadows aside...I am not seeing how this suit is green. How does green light on green outfit cause the fabric to become black?

[camp Blood]

Maybe some of us are just old fashioned

Like I said maybe the suit will come together as he learns to control and develop his powers just how after a while Hal could form complex objects

[Mako]

i was think the same thing , maybe has Hal learns how to wield the power of the ring , the suit also evolves into something more of from the comic.

[Doctor Jones]

I really miss the black and white, as it was a nice way to break up the green. But the textures and even lines are nice.

Maybe he still wills it the same way, as it has the same design other than more detail and taking in the organic feel more. Maybe in the film he will sit differently, and those differences aren't major. Just the lines and the more transitioning of the green and black (yes, black is there, people just aren't looking hard enough; people should be able to differentiate shadows and black)

[Mako]

after seeing the pictures of abin sur maybe the EW cover is suppose be right after Hal gets the ring.I guess that might explain some of the texture of the "suit "but who knows with Hollywood :)

[Webhead2006]

Saw the EW ryan gl cover a few days ago. Looks pretty interesting take for the costume. Sure its not 100% like the comics. But a pretty fair design. Plus as i read this isnt the final look for the costume or the face mask. So i cant wait to see how the finalized look will ultimately look like. Overall for the first reveal i would give the suit a 7 out of 10.

[dnno1]

So what's your point?

I tried to put it in simple words and they you came around and contorted it into something terribly confusing and not really saying anthing much differnt than what I said in a few words. If an object casts a shadow then light has been blocked and, hence, the area where there is no light. Even if the shadow is dim or gray there are still areas where no light (i.e. black areas) dispersed around the light, which would still qualify it to be a shadow (my defintion is clear). Another aspect that you failed to mention is that a shadow can be produced if light is totally absorbed and is not reflected (kind of similar to a pigment or a black hole in this case). What I am trying to say is that the costume has the properites of absorbing light and creating shadows (in the black or shadowed areas) and radiating light (in the green areas - just like in the current comics). This would explain the shadows even when light is shown on them.

[Octoberist]

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

*yawwwwwwwn*

yea i just caught up with all the chats from when the ew cover was released to now and yup way to much *****ing on things when we know from a another report that The suit isnt the total finalized effects yet.

Ugh. I didn't realize I was dealing with "your definition" as in a personal definition. In that case, a shadow can mean whatever you want.

I'm going to stop even trying here, because you're obviously not getting what i'm saying, because i'm not "saying things much like you're saying them".

I'm done. I'll give the people a break from this nonsense.

A shadow is an area where there is no light. It doesn't matter what caused it. There's just no light there.

[Brock]

An area lacking of light is not a shadow. Shadows, by definition, come from an object blocking out a source of light that would otherwise illuminate the same area. The lack of light is known as darkness. Example being as simple as an eclipse and actual night. Nighttime comes from a lack of light on that side of the Earth. It is not a shadow because no object is blocking any source of light onto that half of the earth. An eclipse darkens an area when the sun is blocked by the moon coming between Earth and the source of light, the sun, casting a shadow onto an otherwise sunning half of the surface.

What you're referring to is darkness, not a shadow.

You just defined a particular cause of a shadow. The shadow itself is the area where there is no light. It doesn't have to be the resultant of an object blocking light either. Why else is the guy in the picture above called the shadow thief?

Oh I have a clue. It is you that does not understand or doesn't want to. Just to prove that a shadow doesn't necessarily have to be caused by an object in front of the light casting it here is a famous shadow:

http://angela-stevens.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/black-hole.jpg
Image of a Black Hole

The image in the center of the picture is nothing more than a shadow since it is an area where there is no light.

[Boom]

:dry:

Black hole: A black hole, according to the general theory of relativity, is a region of space from which nothing, including light, can escape. It is called "black" because it absorbs all the light that hits it, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics.

It's a void. Not a shadow. Jesus ****ing Christ.

[Brock]

Because it's a comic book, it's media, it's an alias. Using a media name is a weak and easily dismissible argument. Funny example being the Iron Man movie. His suit isn't iron, just a name that fits the gimmick. Go pick up a dictionary and read each definition of shadow in a noun sense. In no way does it describe what you're speaking of. A shadow is exactly dealing with an object blocking light in this sense. Other noun meanings have nothing to do with a darkened area of any sort. You either have refused to look up what people are showing you through definitions because of stubbornness, or you aren't able to comprehend the differences. Either way, incorrect is incorrect.

[Doctor Jones]

Wow, we're actually having a three page argument on ****ing shadows. Only in places like these. First frogs now shadows.

It's the morning here and you guys are putting me to sleep with all this boring ****. Just ignore and move on so we can talk about things that actually aren't putting me in a diabetic coma.

See my second example. Once again, a shadow is the area where there is no light. What you described is a possible cause (an object blocking light). You can also produce a shadow by absorbing light so long as there is a region or area where there is none.

Yeah, but what you see is a shadow (an area where there is no light). You actually can not see the object (the star) that is generating it.

dnno, please examine your own shadow and talk to yourself about it instead of talking about it in this thread.

[Syncos]

Soo... How about that "Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern!"?

[The Guard]

I fail to see how the definition of shadows has any bearing on whether the darker parts of his suit look black or green.

[Octoberist]

this shadow talk is getting tedious

[camp Blood]

They had better clean up the cgi, to this day the best graphics I can remember is jurassic park followed shortly by every Pixar movie made

That picture reminds me of a video game but I am thinking it's probably because they are in the early rendering stages I only worry because the cgi flying superman in returns looked a little fake

[Octoberist]

Yeah, give it time. Movies like Avatar makes a movie like Alice in Wonderland look outdated and CGI companies know that.

But after seeing Inception and the new Tron trailer, CGI is getting really, really good now. Finally.

[camp Blood]

Tron 2 more then any movie including GL its what i am hyped for since i like the first and i am a big JB fan

[Webhead2006]

well i cant wait in the coming months to see how the suit and sfx shots become to their final and in film looks. So to any of the lacking stuff about it now. we have a whole yr pretty much for effects to be enhanced and changed.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Yeah, it looks good already, and it can only get better. I really just wanna see him in action, VFX 100% finished or not.

[lixdexia]

well i cant wait in the coming months to see how the suit and sfx shots become to their final and in film looks. So to any of the lacking stuff about it now. we have a whole yr pretty much for effects to be enhanced and changed.
no we don't. after effects are finished they've still got to send the thing out to be converted to 3d which takes months to do even poorly.

[Webhead2006]

totally i cant wait to see how the finalized stuff will be compared to this first look at the suit. Heck folks have talked about the first look in other films like spider-man 1-3 and iron man movies on first cover images compared to the finalized in film looks. Things can always and most likely will be better and different down the road.

[Sam]

On today panel, Johns said costume will not have nipples. He says when audience see it in motion and the final actual costume, he has faith that the purists will be very happy.

[Octoberist]

i hope you got the 'nipples' joke, sam.

[Ipodman]

They can tweak the suit any time and any way they want since its cgi.

[Sam]

i hope you got the 'nipples' joke, sam.

Because Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, isnt it? He means costume wont have stuffs that going to upset fans, like nipples on Batman movies.

[Octoberist]

he meant it in a joking fashion, alluding to Batman & Robin. That's why I hope you 'got it.' He wasn't serious about it because it's almost a given.

[camp Blood]

I like how he says it's not gonna have nipples as to not piss off fans, yeah it's the nipple that will piss them off and not everything else

I really hate these people that assume that the purists will be happy where the hell to they get off thinking that

My dad has been a GL fan since before I was born and he hates the costume and trust me he's far from a fanboy. All I am saying is there are those who grew up with that costume and aren't willing to accept such a radical change just how when Burton changed the batsuit to black rubber it was a radical change

[Wesley Dodds]

It was just a joke!

Besides, Johns' is DC's Chief Creative Officer, what do you want him to say? "Well, I Love the costume and anyone who doesn't can go screw themselves! LOLLLLLZ"

[camp Blood]

I know he was joking it's the " the purists will be happy" thing that is getting me

[Wesley Dodds]

I know he was joking it's the " the purists will be happy" thing that is getting me

Yeah, but it's his job to say things like that.
Personally, I believe him. Few people on Earth know what makes Green Lantern tick like Johns does.

[camp Blood]

I say all the had to do was define the green and black areas and it would be infinitely better

[protocida]

The Entertainment Weekly cover, now in Poster form. They fixed up the mask and toned down the ring's glow to make the color division more clear.

[Doctor Jones]

Oh, I see black. That looks great.

THAT. That's the image I've been talking about. You can clearly see a delineation between green and black. It's a bit "JL animated", but I'll bet it evolves.

[BigSams50]

That shot makes me feel alot better about the costume

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I'm still eh on the costume until I get a better look at it but I'm not writing the movie off because of that. Everthing else looks pretty decent.

Yep, you can see the legs and pelvis area here, and they are clearly black.
Also the area under the arms and rib cage area is more then just shadow, it clearly delineates the cut out black area of the classic costume.

[Doctor Jones]

Wow, now everyone is saying it's black. The shadow is there in his ribcage, but notice how it's darker. It's because the black makes it so.

[Mondragon]

Everyone?
My impression always was it was black. These new poster images where you can see the legs too, just emphasize it.
And should finally silence the detractors.
I hope:cwink:

[DarkKnight88]

All I am saying is there are those who grew up with that costume and aren't willing to accept such a radical change just how when Burton changed the batsuit to black rubber it was a radical change

So what? Batman's costume change for the movies was generally accepted by most, became a huge blockbuster and is still being used today 20 years later.

[Doctor Jones]

I know right? In the comics, Batman's costume was grey or his cape was blue. All black works.

GL doesn't even have color changes and people are complaining.

Most fanboys act a bit slow. There was never any reason to believe it would be all green, especially since the design art for tomar re and sinestro clearly had black in their uniforms

I still don't see the underarm black but I am not denying it's there I would like to see it in good lighting with no green glow at all just him powered down in the sunlight

[hame4479]

Wow u guys are *****ing for little to no reason. It looks pretty great, any costume adapted to a three dimensional live film has to take on some kind of texture and depth that a comic simply cannot provide. When i see that costume it screams living breathing badassery. In live action it will have a life, no pun intended, and a movement Im sure that simply cannot resonate in a screenshot. The man looks like the ****ing green lantern what more can u ask for. White gloves, really?

[hame4479]

it just screams organic and ethereal, which is exactly what i would hope a live action lantern costume would conjure.

[hame4479]

And is it just me or the gloves looking decidedly white now? :awesome:


Looking more green to me.

I wish we could see a close up shot of that poster.

[Silver Knight]

Dont worry, by tonight we will have hopefully seen a trailer.

I'm crossing my fingers.

[Silver Knight]

Likewise but whatever the case we will see something.

[IBRAH08]

maybe tomorrow.

[Figs]

maybe tomorrow.

I don't care how much of a dork I may be but with all the panels going on tomorrow I may not leave the house let alone my computer. :woot:

[The Infernal]

Is his hair different in that poster?

Looks like Shatner's wig got work after Star Trek: TOS.

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Why must I have a terrible problem with my audio on my computer when we might get a trailer very soon? Why have the Guardians forsaken me?

[Man of Tomorrow]

Shatner's 'singing' vids should always come with a cheese warning.


Now I see your Shatner vid and raise you a Shatner 'Common People' cover with Star Trek cartoon music vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXWEM4gZhg4

Should probably check out the original 'Common People' song just to see the difference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqgXzPfAxjo


Beware the cheese!

[camp Blood]

I'm just glad that they combed his hair
I am tired of Reynolds pattened d*uche haircut

[Doctor Jones]

It looks photoshopped to me that hairstyle. I don't think they said:

"Ryan!"

"What is it, Martin??!!

"You're hair looks off. We need to take the picture all over again!"

I'm pretty sure in the film, we'll be seeing his original hairstyle. Now I expect a thread depbating which hairstyle Hal should properly have.

[Doctor Jones]

Most fanboys act a bit slow. There was never any reason to believe it would be all green, especially since the design art for tomar re and sinestro clearly had black in their uniforms

I know. Especially with GEOFF JOHNNS overlooking everything. You honestly think he would let them make the costumes all green? :doh::dry:

Trust me, there is black. Hopefully we get bootleg footage. Because I want people to go, "Oh, now I see the black!" :dry:

[Doctor Jones]

I don't care how much of a dork I may be but with all the panels going on tomorrow I may not leave the house let alone my computer. :woot:

Dude, I hear ya. I can't wait for 6pm tonight. I'm squealing like a girl thinking about all of this. :woot:

@infernal I recently had the word retarded censored so i don't know what's offensive or not

"Lady Luck is smiling at me. She knows something I don't." is that from something?

Fair enough. Though I'm more of the type to shout 'oh come on' at a mod if that happened to me.

"Lady Luck is smiling at me. She knows something I don't." is that from something?

Yes. My head. Have you been there?



Actually it's two fairly well known sayings put together (words adapted a bit) to convery an ambiguity in terms of fortune (mine). It's a signature I've included on forums for years. Follow this link and you'll get where I got the second half from.

i dont think people should be expecting a trailer to hit the internet. you're just setting yourself up for disappointment.

[Brian Braddock]

Normally I'd agree with you but having just watched the Tron Legacy footage, at the moment I'm of the mind that it can happen.

[Wesley Dodds]

You're right. Not to mention, it'd be ENTIRELY beneficial to this movie if they release a trailer a year in advance like Marvel did with Iron Man.
It'll give the General Audience a chance to familarise themselves with the character,

Yes WB. Pimp your movies. Get us hungry for it.

[Superman]

i dont think people should be expecting a trailer to hit the internet. you're just setting yourself up for disappointment.It might not come out "officially" but you know it's coming.

I hope they do put it out officially though, I'd like to see it in HD.

[Motown Marvel]

even IF they show footage at the con (which is not confirmed, but i wouldnt be surprised about) the chances of it ending up online in any official capacity would probably be slim. at best we might get some crappy bootleg phone cam footage of the footage. i mean, i pray to god im wrong and we get a full on high res release, but....WB has plenty of time to pimp this film. The chances of the films survival doesnt live and die at comic con.

Sure. You're right. But it is the most logical place to unveil to the public.

[Brian Braddock]

Sure, officially it may not come out but unofficially theres a higher likelihood that cam-phone footage will be available.

I've waited so many years for this that I'll watch it no matter what quality it is - at this point, my attitude is 'beggars cant be choosers' etc. All I know is it will give me a glimpse of GL in motion and sate my thirst until something official comes out.

[dnno1]

In spite of what Motown Marvel says, you can download podcasts of the DC events at Comicon shortly after they air at the iTunes store (just type in DC comics podcasts). Like I said before, G4TV will be broadcasting the WB Green Lanern panel (http://g4tv.com/comiccon2010/panels-and-live-blogs/wb-green-lantern-harry-potter-sucker-punch/81/) live at their website in about 2 hours.

[Doctor Jones]

Doesn't mean we are going to see footage from the broadcast. It would be smart for WB to pimp this film this early to build buzz. It's best to do this. Because if we see it now, and it catches people's interest, they'll want to know more about it. My guess is we'll see a first trailer with HP in November. But we want people wanting to know more about it in between to build excitement. WB would be foolish to not do this.

[Wesley Dodds]

Even if we DONT get a trailer, we should still find out a lot more things about the film.
Other cast members and stuff like that...

[camp Blood]

Maybe a first look at some alien characters

[Wesley Dodds]

Yeah, Kilowog would be great to see. Or at least whose gonna be voicing him... John Goodman'd perfect for that!

[Nightwing]

They promised a trailer would debut and "steal the show" so hopefully they live up to that.

[Boom]

I wouldn't expect a trailer to show up online guys. WB doesn't **** around when it comes to security.

[camp Blood]

Yeah but there are alot of fanboys online to keep posting it hopefully

[Boom]

I was more implying that there wouldn't be a bootleg at all.

If WB says there will be a trailer, then there will probably be a trailer. But it'll most likely just be for those attending SDCC - as a special treat for them coming out to see the panel. Having been here for both Batman films, I can tell you this much. People have a tendency to get their hopes up, set their expectations too high, and ultimately have their asses bitten. Trust me. You are better off working under the assumption that you won't be seeing footage for a couple more months.

The best we'll get is the description and maybe an audio file. There won't be any leaks unless WB allows them.

eh, that's what they said about the tdk prologue too

[Nivek]

If they are confident and wanted to kickstart green lantern to counteract any Hype today about Thor and Cap, they would be smart to put footage up tonight online to get fans frothing.

[The Sage]

eh, that's what they said about the tdk prologue too

That's the prologue. The Dark Knight footage shown at Wizard World didn't leak.

[camp Blood]

What about crappy photos somebody took with there phone they might leak

[TheLongestDay]

when is the GL panel going on?

anything is possible, but WB does run pretty tight security.

[DCnightwing23]

Epic is really all i have to say, this years comic con is most def better then last years, green lantern looks amazing. I cant wait for captain america and thor later today, its gonna be a eventful day!

Yeah its pretty epic, im here with 2 friends, its awesome!

Anyone else on the shh here??!

[lixdexia]

what did the fist look like?

[DCnightwing23]

Well the fist looked pretty epic, it had the same green tint you saw in the ew promo shot of green lantern, when i saw it, and maybe im the only one, but when it came out of the ring it almost reminded me of some sort of symbiote. The downer is that we didnt see a shot of the suit, but we did see members of the corp which was cool. Lively was super hot lmao and a lucky fan got a gl ring reynolds was wearing. Another thing about the teaser (and i hope it hits the internet soon for you guys) was hearing reynolds saying the almighty gl corp (in brightest day in blackest night) was amazing, he clearly is gonna be a great green lantern. Hearing mark strong talking about his role, he really seems to be very much into the character which is great. I think Morrison would played abin narrated part of the beginning if im wrong sorry. But yeah it was amazing! I hope someone posts the video soon with some pics! Sorry guys but this year i didnt take pics or videos!

[The Caped Knight]

Watch Ryan Reynolds Recite Green Lantern Oath (http://screencrave.com/2010-07-24/comic-con-2010-watch-ryan-reynolds-recite-the-green-lantern-oath/)

I greatly look forward to seeing him say this line in the film surrounded by epic music in the background .

Cool. Ryan seems like a chill dude.

[rashad]

Ryan is f****** awesome. Actors like Hugh Jackman and him have that down to earth humbleness about them.

[Brian Braddock]

Aint that the truth - it's a shame there aren't more actors with the same sensibilites (Lohan, I'm looking in your direction).

That's why it makes me mad when you occasionally read an easy pot-shot at these guys on boards - ''The guy's a douche'' etc.

[dark_b]

but it still looked like he was uncomfortable

[Brian Braddock]

He's an actor in a room full of fans who wouldve been all over him if he'd mis-stepped even a little while reciting the oath. Wouldnt you be a little uncomfortable? A little nervous?

[camp Blood]

He should have imagined everybody in there underwear

Also being an actor doesn't make him a good public speaker I would have been sweaty and nervous and forgot all my lines

[Crook]

http://splashpage.mtv.com/2010/07/25/ryan-reynolds-welcomes-green-lantern-costume-debate-but-not-white-gloves/

"The white gloves are not there, and I think that's fine, because---quite specifically...they're lame.
GL suit is pretty cool, but yeah, can't say I'd disagree with that sentiment. :funny:

[Brian Braddock]

Lol - neither can I. Ryan definately didnt pussyfoot round the issue did he?

''They're lame''.

:D

[camp Blood]

White gloves are not that lame IMO but to each his own

[Wesley Dodds]

Since when has something being "Lame" ever stopped Ryan Reynolds?

The guy was in Van Wilder: Party Liason, fer Chrissake!

[Doctor Jones]

The white gloves still look terrible with the rest of the suit. On film it wouldn't photgraph very well. Especially with the suit they're going for now. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Your eyes would just shift to the white and it would be hard to focus on the rest of the suit because your eyes keep coming back to that.

[Silver Knight]

What did he mean by we havent seen the full suit?

[dnno1]

Maybe it has spoilers and ailerons on it. Just kidding.

[lixdexia]

What did he mean by we havent seen the full suit?
that we haven't seen it from the knees down or gotten a good shot of the arms. also that it's still being tweaked

[camp Blood]

I was talking in the comics , on screen I see how it could be a problem but white gloves in the comics are not lame

[dnno1]

I saw a first flight on youtube and in the final battle Hal is all green. Whats with that? Any chance we see that in the movie?

[Gold Samurai]

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2010/07/comiccon-2010-green-lantern-and-the-wideeyed-kid-sweet-emotion-or-staged-promotion.html

I was the moderator on the panel and I can tell you that Reynolds, for one, didn't see it coming. Backstage before the panel he told his handlers he didn't want to do the oath on stage (Geoff Johns from DC had hoped the star might consider it) and then when the youngster blinked into the cameras, Reynolds seemed genuinely touched (of course, though, he IS an actor).

In brightest day, in blackest night
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might
Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!



Ryan thought the kid was a studio plant



I had brought a copy of "Green Lantern: Rebirth" with me on stage (I was going to hold it up during the opening introduction of Johns) and Reynolds had no idea I was going to hand it to him and suggest an autograph for the little guy. So that part was ad-libbed... The little boy, whose name is Connor, was brought backstage to meet Reynolds and the star was even skeptical. "I thought it was a studio plant, completely, but then I met the kid and his dad and it was all the real deal."

[dnno1]

To be honest with you, I thought it was a studio plant myself. It was still a touching moment though especially after he gave the kid his autograph.

[Gold Samurai]

The moderator had his comic then handed it to Ryan for the kid to sign. So the moderator gave up his comic

[Project862006]

you guys see the EW interview lol ryan said something along the lines of

" he is'nt some Tokyo valet attendant he is a super hero"LOL

[camp Blood]

He is going to make so much money even if it doesn't become a blockbuster which it most likely will because kids these days don't know old school comics

[Benstamania]

Not sure if you guys seen this yet...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJl9cnQAsIk

Pretty cool thing for Reynolds to do, not only did it sound cool but he made that kids day. +1 to him.

[Reel-Man]

Is that one of the posters they gave away? I read online they were giving posters away or did i misread and it was only the Sinestro one?

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

The Sinestro poster was the only one to hit the web. There were others.

[DCnightwing23]

Well the sinestro one was one for sure, i think that big one was one as well, there were 3 posters i believe, maybe 2. But there was a poster that looks exactly like the sinestro one only with hal jordan instead So more then 2 possibly

I'm so happy to see another DC character brought to life! Now it's time for The FLASH to get a movie and the Superman reboot that is faithful to the comics and shows the true Superman that we haven't seen yet.

I wondered how Ryan would look, and he looks Amazing! In brightest day, and blackest night, this movie shall not escape my sight!! :hal: :woot:

[LostSon88]

so um...whatever happened to DC and their so-called, "Big Announcements" for their movie franchises.

If they were ever looking for the opportune moment, Comic-Con was it. Green Lantern aside...MARVEL was pretty much the talk of the town.

WB dropped the ball again, IMO.

And this is coming from a DC guy. :dry:

It's okay,I feel like they dropped the ball to despite the good stuff that they had at the panel,what's even worse is that there still isn't even a damn movie website for GL,I can't wrap my head around that all.
