Armored GL suit planned. Do you approve?

[Octoberist]

Spandex in the way of Spider-Man or Fantastic Four where there are texture on the suit. I think that could work well for Hal, as long as it's not distracting looking like Routh's Superman outfit.

 

[Nathan]

Yeah, no hundreds of tiny Lantern symbols.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I thought that aspect of the superman costume was a complete waste of time and money.

It was indeed. Especially considering that most people aren't even aware of the concept because it was so...minute.

Yea there was so many things i didnt like in SR suit, hopefully the GL costume folks give us something good and retain many of the classic gl suit look and is faithful.

 

[JackIvyGB]

I figured it out! I want the green portions of the suit to glow the way the outfits and vehicles look in the new TRON movie! Go check it out, they just released a couple new pics from comic con, and you can see the original footage from last year's con on youtube! THAT sort of glow that isn't insanely over powering, but looks sick against the black part of the rest of the suit is perfect! It plays up the aspect of GL actually being a Lantern, a sort of positive guiding light at dark times!

What do you think?

 

[Webhead2006]

Would be interesting but i dont think they will do that.

 

[Timstuff]

If the green portions of his suit glowed it would be very distracting from his face, which would make it hard to act. If anything on his suit is going to have luminescence it should only be the white on his chest logo.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea i was just thinking that if anything is glowing besides an aura around him if he goes into space/shields his body from an attack via the film's villains making the chest logo glow in some fashion probably wouldnt be that bad.

 

[GL FREAK]

Hey People this is interesting, HAS ANYONE SEEN STARWARS, play close atention to the swords effect, if they can use the effect of the swords in the suit with green light instead of blue or red, I think i would look a lot more COOL than an spandex suit. What do you t:think people?

If they could do this with spandex, then I would go for it, but it is doubtful that it could be done.

 

[dnno1]

I saw this over at YouTube a while back (almost 3 years ago). Apparently Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands (better known as Philips) has developed a technology (called Lumalive) where you can produce light emitting textiles. Maybe that could be used to produce the effect you show by the lightsabers.

I don't think armor is completely useless. It'd be nice to have a small measure of protection if the ring runs out of juice...granted that's an awfully weak arguement. Armor won't help much if the power runs out at 30,000 feet, much less in space.

I agree it's certainly not necessary. Even so, I'm in pretty decent shape, but if I were a green lantern I'd give myself a bit of armor as oposed to a pure spandex costume. I'd go with looking somewhat intimidating over looking somewhat silly.

 

[sdc10]

Im fine with the armor outfit, after all in the comics a Lantern's outfit was whatever they wanted it to be. Im sure we will see a wide range of uniforms in the film.

 

[Kurosawa]

There's been several hundred issues of concept art for GL that destroys anything these hollywood clowns could produce. Make it look like the comics costume or don't even bother.

 

[Webhead2006]

like someone else pointed out before we have no real proof confirming or denying they will go for some armor look over say material like used in spidey/ff suits. plus that concept art was for an artist who is no longer on the project if i believe. I am sure they will come up with something good and honor the comics.

 

[dark_b]

can someone post good GL pics from the suit? i need some inspiration. i dont like the white gloves.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Make it form the comics or don't bother? Wow, that's not ignorant. Spandex would look stupid as hell on screen. Who cares about if the ring would protect him? Make it look cool and not dull to look at. He would have to spar with someone eventually. A ring isn't always gonna work.

Yes, because the Spider-Man costume isn't the most faithful and successful adaptation of a comics suit ever.

GL drives in vehicles?

 

[M.O.Steel]

did you even read his post?

Jordan was once given a starship by an alien race he had saved. He flew a round in it for several issues afterwards. Of course, he can always create one with his ring.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

There's a kind of Spandex that has a leathery look, they could use that.
And I'd avoid any material that sags or make wrinkles. This is supposed to be the uniform of an intergalactic police corp, probably made of green lanterns energy made solid, so it should look alien.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I'm just saying don't use the spandex. Spider-Man's suit wasn't spandex at all.

Spidey really only has one suit, with GL you can do different things tot it. It's about making it look interesting and something we haven't seen before.
