Armored GL suit planned. Do you approve?

[Man of Tomorrow]

Based on the concept art, it appears the Ion-esque suit for Hal Jordan is indeed armor (akin to Batman).

Personally, I like it. Spandex could look kinda lame in comparison.

Manip:

What do you guys think?

 

[Gilpesh]

It's a little silly, seeing as the ring is pretty much anything he wants. It's like if for the next Superman movie, they give him a suit like Batman's. His powers don't really need him to wear something like that.

 

[Bren]

Don't really see the point. I'm hoping for something similar the the FF4 suits.
Won't stop me going to watch though...

 

[Mister J]

Closer to Spider-Man, rather than Batman would be my preference. Full blown armor, as opposed to a stylized uniform with some 'padding/shaping', is overdone, seeing as how it's the ring that's providing the protection.

 

[Nathan]

No to TDK like armor. He simply doesn't need it. He could run around in shorts and the ring would still provide all the protection he needs.

 

[ChickenScratch]

The armor sucks, it makes it seem like his power is lacking in protection.

 

[Keyser Soze]

There's no guarantee we'll get an armor look like what's seen above. That was merely concept art drawn by an artist no longer involved with the project.

 

[M.O.Steel]

they are intergalactic police force. and that concept art looks pretty cool, doesn't look that much rubbery/artificial.

i say a compromise. not straight spandex like spiderman, but not overboard like batman begins/TDK.

 

[Changeling]

I think the black parts should be spandex, and the green parts should be kinda like TDK armor.

 

[Nathan]

I have nothing against it if it looks slightly padded. But no armor.

 

[dnno1]

He's going to look silly in spandex. That's played out. There has to be some 3-Dimensional topography on the costume. If you would have noticed, that has been the trend since Batman 89'. We all need to stop thinking about what artists have gotten away with for the sake of time and money in the comics and start thinking more functional and outside the box for a big budget live action-film.

 

[Spider-Vader]

No armor. It works for Batman because it serves as protection, but Lantern could just make a shield with his ring.

 

[dnno1]

No Spandex! Leave these guys alone to design a great costume. They've certainly got the money to do so.

 

[protocida]

'Nuff said.

 

[TheWatcher]

agreed

 

[The Guard]

Armor? On the Emerald Knight? Noooo!

I'm fine with some kind of high-tech, ring-created pseudo-armor as long as it doesn't hinder his movement of make him look bulky.

 

[protocida]

Black parts - FF spandex.
Green parts - SM padds.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I think something that could work pretty well is if, for the black parts, you use plain spandex like the Fantastic Four or Spider-Man costumes, but maybe have the green parts in Reynolds' costume be motion-capture suit, then they can CG in a bright, glowing green, helping the costume look a little more alien.

 

[JokerLedger]

'Nuff said.

Yup... I like th elook of the First Flight Green Lanterns. Not necessarily spandex but it does have an armored look to it that's sleek.

 

[Nathan]

Just add enough armor to give it a 3 dimensional look, but very sleek looking. I really like the First Flight design. Anything more is too much.

 

[Canadian Rider]

The suit can be a rubberized version like in DK with Bale. I think the armor sends the wrong message and is out of character. How exactly does he hide armor under his clothes? Suit = rubberized material = Good. Armor = Gayness

698 days and counting.

 

[Nathan]

Huh? Hiding under his clothes? His ring materializes the suit.

 

[Doctor Jones]

The black should be like the SM or FF costumes, the green is protected looking yet durable armor. I don't want to see a LOTR kind of armor. Just something that can make Hal control his own movement and be flexible yet still protect him.

 

[Canadian Rider]

Huh? Hiding under his clothes? His ring materializes the suit.

Originally it was a suit that he wore that belonged to Abin Sur.

Showcase #22 ...

If they use that story then he has a uniform.

If they go with the suit appearing then they can do whatever they want ... but I hope they don't do armor. It's unnecessary and goofy.

 

[Panthro]

I guess I'm okay with it so long as it retains the basic color scheme outline of the costume as seen in the comics.
