Armored GL suit planned. Do you approve?

[M.O.Steel]

look familiar?

Eh... looks too busy. And I've never been a fan of the fake six pack.

I say a combination of the two , like a lot of the posters have said, the black parts, Spiderman or even Superman Returns type spandex, and the green parts a rubber style light armor, pretty much like Green Lantern First Flight.

 

[DannyDreg]

LOL! 2 pages worth of posts and we're all basically saying the same thing. I'd prefer it if that the costume is similar to FF/SM too. I really didn't have a problem with the Ion-ish looking suit from the concept art, maybe change the emblem a little.

 

[Webhead2006]

well we dont really know if that armored concept stuff is going to be what is the final product of the film. They were early designs and things have problem changed alot since those ideals to know. As for the look i agree we dont need armor suit for hal/gls it doesnt serve much of a need since they got energy aura/engery shields to throw up on themselfs. I would like something in line to spider-man movie costume/fantastic four with good material/spandex-etc.... materials.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

I gotta admit the armored look made the Mortal Kombat version of the suit look so much cooler than the comics:

But I'd be fine with the Ion suit on Hal too.

I'm hoping we get something kind of like the MKvDCU GL suit.

I can't stand the DC vs MK suit. It's got armor in all the wrong places in all the wrong ways.

Also, maybe it's just personal interpretation, but I don't see armor anywhere in the concept art I just see some seam lines that contour to his muscles. I think you'd be able to tell a little more obviously if it was armor.

As for what I'd like to see, I would like a superman returns type material for the black part. For the green part, I'd want that to almost look like parts of the black suit were being illuminated. Like when he suited up, parts of the suit would blink to life like a neon light. It wouldn't be too blindingly bright, but it would glow. Enough to give him a slight aura. Not too bright to drown out the pure white light from his symbol.

Another idea I had was that his suit as a projection and extension of his ring would be responsive to him. Let's say for example, that the green illuminated areas on his suit were laid out similarly to either of the Nolan batsuits, just for a working visual example. Perhaps not as busy as TDK. At least the chest area of the BB suit.

Suppose GL is fighting someone/thing. Sinestro, whoever. During the fight, he is hit in such a way that it breaks something, maybe a rib or an arm. Well, the illuminated part over that area would slide around over it and point out exactly what had happened. If it was a rib, the appropriate rib armor plate would shift around to graphically point it out to Hal and the ring would tell him what injury he has sustained, then it would take the appropriate measures to rectify the injury for the duration of the fight, like sending more energy to that area to "pad" it up a little more.

Also, maybe Hal needs to hit something especially hard with his fist. It'd be cool to see the light energy actually travel from the symbol along seam lines or other illuminated plates to his fist, where the "hard light" would encase his lower arm and strengthen the area for the appropriate level of smack down and pwn.

I feel inspired to sketch this out...

I think you're ideas are getting a bit too experimental... Just make the black be fabric, and the green be armor, and we should be good to go.

 

[thebat]

I like it, and I'd say it's pretty faithful. And it's not real "heavy Armor"...it's pretty streamlined. Besides...He's a Galactic Space-Cop...his Costume should look like a Space Suit.

And Spandex works best in Comic Books.

You're never going to get that with spandex or lycra.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I don't like that one at the top at all. It's too much like Batman.

I agree...I like the first Picture,on page 1.

 

[Chris B]

I really like the idea of the black section being a Spider-Man/Fantastic Four material while the green is a kind of rubber armor. I think that could look pretty good.

I had that in mind too. Hope they go with that.

Not really a fan of the completely armored look to the outfit.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea like others and i said there isnt a need for hal or gl's to have armored suits with their ring/powers giving them protection against a wide range of things. I would like material wise as i said like spider-man movie costume, with maybe the green parts being a flexible kelvar like material so its a bit tougher looking without needed to be a full on armor deal.

 

[Doctor Jones]

The armor has to look on the alien side a bit. It can't look like it was built by man.

What do you mean by that? It would be created by the wearer's imagination. In this case he would be a man.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Oh, really? Nevermind then.

 

[SuperAl]

concept art was released? where?

 

[terry78]

When did this place turn into the Bravo channel?



Seriously, he should wear hockey pads.

 

[Octoberist]

it's old concept art from an artist who is no longer associated with the project.

 

[B]

MK vs DC like armour: Yes

Anything similar to Batman ala The Dark Knight: No

 

[Marlboro Man]

The suit should have a little texture to it. Straight-up spandex would look awful. But so would a suit akin to what was worn in "The Dark Knight." I think the concept art in the first post looks like the perfect middle ground.

 

[storyteller]

In first flight the green lantern suits are not skin tight spandex. They are armor like. They have shoulder pads. I dont think the lantersn need Dark knight armor. But think underarmor covered by a suit would work.
