So... the "major character" that they're made gay is in Earth 2? ... Wow, DC, I thought you were actually gonna do a game-changer. I mean, a non-comic reader doesn't even know about Earth 2, so how is making a semi-popular character gay in a different universe a game-changer?

Makes sense. Now just convert that into a successful movie franchise outside a 'Superman and Batman', bee888tches.

Like in everything it shouldn't matter to anyone who Alan Scott goes home to at night. It's his super powers and adventures that matter in the comics.

And with a string gay suicides across the world recently, this can be only a good thing.

Bravo, DC.

@ teabag

XD hahahahaha

i tried to avoid the ring joke,but they're still classics.

alan scott gonna have a new nickname "frodo" not because of his size but he looks like someone who's had their ring destroyed. :P

The pink lantern symbol is also little offensive Josh, you wouldn't put a black one if a new African American Lantern was introduced.

They should've went all the way and made him a gay black midget, hit all the liberal P.C. bases. Wait, sorry, I meant a homosexual african-american little person.

Making an old guy gay is the easiest cop-out. You never have to show an old guy in a relationship, let alone one with any kind of physicality to it.

I feel like making a character that hasn't been gay all along gay is very risky. You risk screwing with people's preconceived notions of characters they have felt attached to for a long time. If it's done tastefully it could be very compelling but if it's just a gimmick it will show and people will be PISSED

this is so [frick]ing stupid, what happens to Jade and Obsidian now?

If they were going to make anyone gay it should have been Jay Garrick cause he never had a family really, not one of his own that would make complications like Scott is having.

GuardianAngel - 5/27/2012, 1:53 PM
phew!I was getting scared they would go for someone like Batman. IDGAF about Alan Scott.

Well, so much for Jade and Obsidian existing in the new 52, I guess. And I was holding out hope that since Huntress is Helena Wayne again, that Infinity Inc. would show up eventually.

Thank. God. I thought its was gonna be Wally west or captain marvel. Thankfully it's someone I don't really care about.

Oh yeah, and all these nasty comments are ridiculous to say the least. You can disagree with the choice without being a dickhead. You know, it's not only fat nerd losers who drool over every cosplay bimbo who read this site.
