Thankfully, This Is Probably Not Ryan Reynolds’ Costume for GREEN LANTERN

Comic artist Jason Palmer revealed on his DeviantArt blog [via ComicBookMovie.com] last week he did some designs for “two movies each based on DC comic characters (one has a scar, one has a ring)”, which likely means Green Lantern and Jonah HexHex is scheduled to hit theaters this summer and we’ve already seen images from the film, so the news is for Green Lantern.

On his site, he posted some artwork he did not submit for Green Lantern’s costume, but “some extra art I did as a cover to the submission pdf.”  He also explains that he, “didn’t use costume designs or Reynolds ref that was provided by WB,” and that’s why he’s allowed to post it.

Hit the jump to see the image along with why I’m glad it probably won’t be the costume used in the film.

As you can see from the image, this is basically the costume from the comics with Ryan Reynolds head pasted on top.  It’s not very imaginative and since the Lantern’s outfit isn’t iconic like Superman’s or Wonder Woman’s, isn’t iconic and is more open to creative alteration.  Since the Green Lantern Corps are a kind of intergalactic police force, I think it would be cool to see a design that looks more like a uniform rather than a costume.  That means cut out the forearm-length gloves and the spandex.

    yeah and lets get rid of batmans cow land supermans cape while were at it

    sigh..

    P86 – Seriously. And Why does Superman wear a cape?

    That image of Ryan Reynolds is awesome BECAUSE it is the original costume.

    But of course, it WON'T look like that because WB made lots of $$$ with The Dark Knight

  3. whatever @

    Those white gloves look like something one might wear to a pride parade. Of course, super hero costumes in general are more than a little…dramatic?

    whats wrong with the original costume? I forgot, tradition goes out the window when you're dealing with hollywood

    Is this supposed to be serious? If the Green Lanterns don't look like Green Lanterns in this movie I'll be pissed. I don't need some designer douche trying to be “imaginative”, put him in the damn costume from the comics, which also happens to be one of the best superhero costumes in comics. And yes its iconic, should they change the Flash too?…..

    From what I hear that isnt the costume, but i was really happy he got the role. i had herd justin Timberlake was up for it too and that inraged me that he would even be in the running for such an iconic character.

    i don't see anything wrong with the costume art at all.

    If the studio is trying to get me excited for this movie they are failing at every step of the way. I cant not wait to go on opening day and see Step Up 3-D instead. Maybe I will be surprised, but if this picture is an indicator then I think not somuch http://tinyurl.com/y5kjtkp

    Failing at every step? Excited for Step Up 3D? If this is a serious post you should really consider suicide.

  10. MCd_lyte @

    Mark Strong? More like Mark Weak. Weak like that comment. Yes, I am more excited for 3-D American boobs dancing in my face than a dude in spandex with a green power ring. We cannot all be so gay as you. Thanks for playing, try again.

  11. MCP @

    You sir, are a douche.
    Thank you for your time.

    End of Line

  12. Mark Strong @

    Boobs is you motivation to see that garbage? Wow, what loser. Why not just watch porn? Much less gay dancing involved.

  13. MCd_lyte @

    Because porn is not in 3-D yet until I make it with your mom. And dancing is not gay its pretty sweet, unless you are fat American getting into fights on movie website threads then it is still not gay but it is probably gross because of your man boobs and the smell of cheese coming from the gunk under your man books when you sweat, but there are none of those people in the Step Up movies so it is not gay or gross. But it is your life so both gay and gross apply. “Save me green lantern!” – Mark Strong

    dude seriously, it sounds like your just on here to pick a fight. and quit calling americans fat you under educated piece of shit. and if you mean to tell me a bunch of fairies dancing around who discover that dancing can take them out of the ghetto (like all of those movies are about) then you really are pretty damn fucked in the head.

    “dude seriously, it sounds like your just on here to pick a fight. and quit calling americans fat you under educated piece of shit.” – your boyfriend

    Thank you for so many laughs. First, I am not here to pick fights. I like to comment on movies that give me boners and those that do not. You notice my first comment was directed toward this pile of garbage movie “The Gay Latern” and no specific commentor. Subsequently, I was then attacked by whoever their names are. They pick fights. I just defend myself.

    Second, I do not call all Americans fat. If you will notice I am so excited to have sexy American girl boobs in my face 3-D. The fat ones are the turds with man boobs picking fights on Collider.com. If you are in question as to who these are then pick up a mirror and look in it.

    Third, thank you for the laugh about me being an under educated piece of shit when, in your previous sentence, you mistakenly used “your” where “you're” should have been (go ahead and change it, but I quoted your ass fuck face). English is my fourth language and even I know that difference. So thanks for giving me my daily dose of irony on that one.

    I could do a fourth and fifth and sixth and seventh etc. because you've given me so much to work with based on my Belarusian law school training that I use to sweep popcorn at the movie theater. But I won't because I get the impression you are about 13 years old and picking on kids is wrong. But it was so funny in law school because they teach us to use reason and logic and to pay attention to detail and tell us not to be all emotional and womanlike with man boobs like young American men. That is why we fuck all your women when they travel abroad. “Your” not “you're”.

    This guy is funny. Really though, dancing movies are extremely lame.

    I'd rather watch the Green Lantern and see how they're portraying him on the big screen instead of step up 3D. I've watched the other step up movies and they were fine, but I'd rather support my comic book heroes than just another dance movie.

    -Nothing can beat the original, but I'm hoping they do a close enough job.

  21. Franko @

    screw you idiot, he was just joking! and wahts with the 'designer douche'. This guy is a friend of mine, alright y'idiot? you want a fight, come get one from me. Oh, and the seventies called and they want their slang back.

  22. LateKnight @

    sooo… let me get this straight. your excited for the step up movie in 3-d. mmmhhmmm….. and your reasoning behind being excited for it is because you will get to see “3-d american boobs bounceing in your face”. what… your girlfriend not bounceing her boobs in your face enough? or.. gasp! dont tell me you dont have one… oh you pour soul.

    there called strip clubs. and there not 3-d boobs eather. there real. and you dont have to pay large amounts of money to see them eather. just a buck gets them rubbed in your face and 20 bucks gets you into the vip room were if you have enough money maybe you can get a little something something.

    now you can go right ahead and call me fat or whatever you want because you have no idea who i am. we have never met and never will. but you must see that every one thinks you just like to pick fights is because you come to this movies comment page… slam it.. and proceed to say that some dance movie about underage high school students is better because it gets you hard.

    really?

    you claim your so damn smart but you obviously know nothing about the super hero comiunity at all. were a rabbid fan base that will defend our faverote heroes and here you come “zomg! teh lanternz be ghey! i want teh b00behz!” your not here to pick a fight? please.

    like i said. i do not know you other then the text you have placed on this screen, but from what ive seen your and intelegent man with a superiority complex who is insecure about his sexualality. you more then likely do not have a lot of people in your life that you can talk down to so you troll message boards looking for someone to piss off and when you do you poke and poke and poke untill they slip up and say something that you can use against them. the you go to bed and cry your self to sleep on your cock shaped pillow (thanks for that one btw ryan. lamo) wondering “why dosent any one like me? im so smart and have lots of interesting thing to talk about. but every one who isent as smart as me thinks im an asshole.”

    well sir no one is as smart as you. because you think your smarter then every one and when you try to prove it by corecting everything everyone says they get pissed at you and call you an asshole.

    now so im on tpoic…

    are you fist fucking me? the green lantern costume isent iconic like superman or bat mans? you must be stoned….. have you ever read a green lantern comic? or seen a green lantern cartoon? green and black jumpsuit with ether all black arms having green cuffs or white elbow long gloves. Jesus Christ….. this is why i like marvel better. there movies have super heroes that look like they do in the comics (excluding the first punisher movie and the first hulk movie ::shudder::) green lantern is my absolute favorite super hero and i can thin of no one more suited to play him then Ryan Reynolds but if they fuck up his costume and his origin story then i will boycott dc all together. i love this picture and hope to god this is how green lantern will appear in the movie.

    (i think i left enough spelling errors in there to get you off. but if you need anything else let me know and ill gladly spell shit wrong for you all damn day so you can get you jollies.)

    I'm not so sure it is a joke man. I have seen multiple bloggers saying they don't want this to be the design either. Which I don't really understand. It looks great and if the designer really is your friend he's incredibly talented and I'm glad he's on the project. The only thing that's missing from this design is his mask.

    He's a troll. And Y'all bit hard.
