I believe a good fraction of the comic-book-reading populace agrees with you.
Maybe we'll get to see him show up as Hal's father in a flashback, or something?
Ryan Reynolds would really make a better Kyle or Guy to my mind, but I'm hopeful for this film.
If Dennis Leary were younger, he'd make a great Guy.
Incidentally, Hugo Weaving was my first choice for Sinestro. He could have worked, especially if they used Johns' revamp of the character. I'm curious to see how Mark Strong will do.
I'm mostly worried that it's going to resemble Iron Man in style but i'm optimistic upon seeing Kilowog and I don't really mind the look of the costume.

Killwog looks nice; I wonder who will be voicing him.
That looks great. GR is right, this needs to be swinging dick Hal. The Hal that Batman chastises and hates and calls the 'green retard' from All Star Batman and Robin. NOT boring 'whaaaaa I killed everyone I'm sooo scared of the yellow monster' Hal from the last 15 years.
Reynolds is great as that Hal. If they do try to go the serious route, it may not work with him.
I do hope the effects get cleaned up a bit. They look a bit amateurish for a movie this big and important for DC/WB. Any future chance that the rest of their characters have to get to the big screen hinge on this movie.

Hell, it was always part of the Ring, unless I'm mistaken. I do know that in the more recent retellings of Hal's origin, the entire costume "overlays" whatever he's wearing at the time, and isn't any kind of cloth - the green is hot, like hand-on-a-lightbulb hot, and the black is cold to the touch. It's all an energy construct.
No, it's not a thread necro, but we have an interesting update.
DC's released images of statues and busts that will be released with the film. It gives us a closer look at the movie incarnations of Hal and other GL's.
While I'm still not fully sold on the GLC uniforms, I do like what we can see now: They all maintain the general scheme of the GLC, but each one has minute differences.
Tomar Re's has scales and Sinestro's is more authoritarian; it reflects both his classic outfit and the later Sinestro Corps uniform.
I still don't see the point of all that useless surface ribbing on Hal's suit-if it's there to improve the looks, it sure as hell isn't doing its job-but the basic suit layout looks fine. I'll wait and see what it looks like on the Silver Screen.
The lantern, however, just looks fundamentally wrong.

I don't particularly care if they re-visioned the lantern as a fleshlight as long as the movie is good.

I'm not entirely sure I trust people who did radically redesign the Lantern like that for no good reason I can discern to come up with a good movie.

I'm either missing an in-joke or nobody but me does give a damn about people misspelling flashlight. I suspect the former.

Damian is Richard's responsibility. He brought him into the family business, he deals with any damage to that sorry excuse for a human being that occurs. *googles fleshlights*

Heh.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who still doesn't like Damian.
Damian was okay when he was Elseworlds. Introducing him into mainstream comics...not so much. But then I think I have aired my disagreements with current DC Comics canon continuity often enough

Screw Damian. We have one biological son of Bruce Wayne and his name is Terry McGinnis, thank you very much.
To my knowledge, Terry being a demiclone of me is not so far official DC Comics canon.
