" Welp, the fact that the new gay the DCU is ar-old Alan Stt aka the-Green-Lantern-that-no-non-ic-book-rear-knows-about-and-get's-nfed-for-Hal-Jordan-and-Ryan-Reynolds only serv to mimize the whole Ka-Pow factor of the announcement. Sure havg a Green Lantern as a member of the ever growg ic book homo squad is pretty fabulo but if DC really wanted to be darg and give the world a universe fg, culture changg gay character they uld have - and should have - gone would have been Batman, Superman, Aquaman or hell, Plastic Man, then I would have happily danced the gay jig of joy and joed on the huge DEAL that has been ma of this announcement. Jt image if DC would have had the jon to have ma their inic, wily regnized Green Lantern gay, the one who actually rri his own solo tle, the one that any laymen uld fger a police le up or on a cereal box.

) watchg dad the history behd Alan Stt and how he was created practilly eons ago durg the Nazi World War; and how he ed to be old, was straight, had two kids, one of which was gay himself; but is now actually a brand new young character an alternative dimensnal Earth where Superman, Batman and Wonr Woman are the 'olr hero" who have died; and that the recently rebooted DC 52 where the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern liv on is an entirely different place, but I lost him at Ow a Muff Basket (or two) to Marvel ComicsThe realy is that Alan Stt beg gay is no more newsworthy then the Teen Tans havg their first gay member the sassy, cute Bunker.
