I love the Stewart character much better. He brings a lot of character to the role.

wtf? they are fictional characters, how can one bring more character to the role.

Are you saying John Stewart is a more morally grounded person than Hal Jordan making him a better Green Lantern?

Are you saying that Stewart character makes for a better movie role? A better fit in the JL?

Personally, the only reason I believe Stewart to be popular is because of the cartoon wanting to diversify its cast so there wasn't an all white JL.

Now that DC got the bright idea to promote Cyborg, Stewart is back to secondary character.

Hell they even brought in Simon Baz as (yet another) Earth GL.

Hal fits better in the JL because he's very different than Superman and Batman.

Lot of DC fans will tell you that the real trinity of DC is Supes,Bats, and GL (Hal) nowadays-especially considering after the New 52 reboot that only Bats and GL kept their current books with the same story.

It also helps that Geoff Johns, DC creative chief, wrote his book for so long.

Which is why this surprises me so much. DC rebooted it's animated series as well, putting the 52 JL in place with Hal back as the main GL.

You'd think WB/DC would synergize across all platforms with their line-ups.

and if we're talking interesting characters, frick go with Guy Gardner. He's fricking awesome.




ETA: if the RR movie hadn't bombed so hard, any non Hal GL wouldn't be up for discussion.
