Costume.

[Webley]

Maybe we will get lucky and this is a pick of him powering up and not the actual look of the suit.

 

[Rocker22]

Not bad. Hopefully the mask looks better in the final product.

 

[Webley]

Fan art blows the real thing out of the water.

i dont really have that many quals with the suit, the mask looks iffy to me, but thats really it other wise i love it tbh

 

[Octoberist]

i do like how his mask is all the way up to his eyes though

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I think it looks awesome. I like how the symbol glows, like he's just bursting with power. I like a sharper nose on the mask, and white gloves, but I'm willing to overlook that. Now what I can't wait to see, is what the power from the ring will look like. I hope the effects look as good as The Last Airbender's.

Is there a bigger shot of Hal receiving the ring? I like that pic.

 

[Octoberist]

the nose is off. i wish it was sharper too.

 

[Saint]

It is. We always hold out hope for some explanation or pretend like it isn't the costume, but it always is.

Yeah, it's pretty laughable.

However, it will probably be much more satisfying when we get to see it move on screen. I have the same gripes as everyone else—no black on the suit, too organic looking, ect. I do like the shape of the mask though, if it were more defined. The symbol looks fine to me. I could live with the texture if the black design elements were present.

That's my thought exactly. They stripped all definition out of the costume, which is really aggravating. Generally I dislike the entire approach they took to this thing, but it would only take a couple of adjustments to salvage it.

Saint, its not projecting off the suit here? is this an abomination too?

and the mask is made of light, light doesnt just STOP it fades, same with the neck line, it fades out

But the mask doesn't look like it's made of light; it looks like it's made of paint. It's supposed to be projected onto his face, right? Where're the marks of overexposure? Where's the brightness?

Here's my big issue: on one hand, the suit is supposed to be organic. On the other, it's supposed to be alien tech based. Tech versus organic...two VERY different things. This costume tries to achieve both, and sort of fails a bit. Both elements are there, but they don't mesh well and the product, as Saint says, is a bit of a mess. (And why is the entire costume one color? Daredevil has a solid-colored suit, but that's because he's blind).

I showed the pic of GL to my brother. He said it looks like this:

I'm inclined to agree.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

It really just needs the black along the midsection... something to break up the green. I wonder if the legs are all green too.

 

[Octoberist]

i hope the legs aren't all green. even spider-man wasn't all red.

 

[Saint]

Quick adjustment. I apologize for the crudeness, and while this isn't precisely what would need to be done, you should get the idea.

This is what Green Lantern should look like

Not like this

I just wish that the film makers would have looked at a Green Lantern comic book.

You do know that Geoff Johns, the Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics and who has been writing Green Lantern/ Sinestro Corps War/ Blackest Night/ Brightest day for the last five years fully endorses this right? that they went to him as a creative consultant before production started?

I am pretty sure your point has been made... multiple times.

And yes, of course you are right, no one on the set looked at a comic book... bc if they did they surely would have send spandex with white go-go boots is the way to go.

While it's nice to know that they did stuff like that, it's too bad it didn't prevent them from making a costume that's such a mess.

See, I can see where Saint is coming from, but with you, you're overracting. Passe.

 

[GoldGoblin]

The costume looks like crap.Seeing his pupils in the mask and seeing the tip of his nose just makes me cringe and has made me not want to see this movie anymore.And the rest of the costume with those lines is another strike.

 

[JamalYIgle]

I disagree, i think costume is going to look amazing on screen. they're doing something you could never pull off visually in comics.

 

[maenalus]

It's growing on me.

Not that I hated it, but I was a little disappointed. Mostly because of the lack of white gloves.

Yep that is way I posted this on page 15

"Chief Creative Officer" Geoff Johns should lose his job for not stoping this horrible costume.

When you did that Firestorm redesign a while back (also, it's lame that they're not using it anymore, it was awesome), I've got to assume that you never considered just spraying it down with indistinct clouds of red. I mean, that would have been pretty lame, yes? Sure, they can render that better on screen than you could in a comic book, but it's still just as lame.

Firestorm is a different concept, and my design for the suit wasn't an alien construct created from the collected will power of the universe.
