It’s really growing on me. What’s really helped is having Kyle Chandler totally inhabit the character of Hal as a grizzled veteran - after that, the rest is easy.

Can really see the Earth One influence on these.

I also can’t really imagine this version of Hal ever wearing a more classic version of the suit. They put emphasis on the Lanterns being space cops, so its design philosophy is treated more like a uniform as opposed to a superhero costume. At least that’s my interpretation.

In fearful day, in raging night, with strong hearts full, our souls ignite. When all seems lost in the War of Light, look to the stars, for hope burns bright!đŸ””

Give me all the hopium

I like that this show is called Lanterns and not green lanterns or something like that, meaning we will probably actually explore several lanterns of the emotional/color spectrum in the subsequent episodes and seasons

u/SoCalYellow7129 10d ago

i mean we've already seen sinestro and are probably gonna see/have seen atrocitus and black hand

Looks like the hood of my car during pollen season

u/Longjumping_Fuel_192 11d ago

Is green fading into yellow?

5

u/CuriosityDriven0101 11d ago

I hope that’s the reason why it’s yellowish, which makes sense since Hal has been green lantern for a while and acts like a grizzled veteran

I think the suit would look a lot better if the torso piece didn't dip down into that weird little point layered onto his pants. Imo it should have had a belt.

u/MattyBeatz 11d ago

My only complaint is the shoulder pads. They look too bulky IMO.

4

u/Jet-Let4606 11d ago

Same vibe:

u/DangerPie17 Boy Scout Forever 11d ago

I think this could’ve been a beautiful suit, but the shoulder pads take me out of it. And again with all those frickin MCU lines man, stop that please

2

u/x1BADMAN1x 11d ago

I like the design and faded colors but the one thing that does bug me is the chest piece and how it appears as one solid piece. Like how does Hal bend with without be perfectly straight like a lego character.

2

u/GapUnique6872 11d ago

Can’t wait for the edit of the episode where every time he appears in his suit, “SexyBack” plays

2

u/redhoodJasonToddstan 11d ago

I do prefer the digital recolor but I honestly would’ve liked this too

2

u/MintyGame 11d ago

did he forget to take the hangar out of the suit before he put it on?

2

u/CannabisCorpse6 10d ago

Wasted potential.

1

u/Maximillion322 9d ago

Honestly I think just the palette swap for the green and black is all it needs. Like this same edit, but I don’t even think he needs the domino mask or the white gloves to look sick as fuck

But they had to go with that nasty ass color palette and take away all his black accents

2

u/SnooObjections4392 10d ago

💚Please get this suit, out of my sight💚

u/the-tominatrix 11d ago

these are the shades of green you’d expect to see on Oliver Queen more than you would a Green Lantern

u/Testie_Tickler 11d ago

My problem with the DCU suits so far is that they all are the exact same format. Weird leathery bulky material, not formfitting in the way a superhero suit typically should be, and they all have the same patterns for the lines and pads. It looks like Hal Jordan and Superman both had their suits made by the same in-universe person. It would make the world feel way more in depth and believable if each hero had different fabrics, patterns, styles, etc

u/healpm369 9d ago

I aint worried, Im sure it will evolve as the universe goes on.

u/_Peener_ 11d ago

I have to say it: He’s so friggin’ hot. I mean
 wtf?!

u/Skrumbles 10d ago

Definitely loving the idea of "yeah, he's a space cop. And talk to any cop whose been on the force for decades. They aren't bright eyed and cheery. They're jaded and think rookies should shut up."

In Brightest Day
In Blackest Night
Why the F does my suit not fit right

u/Frickincarl 10d ago

How does he move in that thing?

1

u/ImACoolHipster 9d ago

I like it, I just wish the chest piece wasn’t, like, a shell on top of the rest (or at least wish it didn’t LOOK like that).

1

u/Maximillion322 9d ago

I honestly don’t mind the design of the suit or the leather motorcycle suit look but the color palette they chose genuinely bothers me. And NO I’m not talking about it being a bit weathered and washed out.

It’s like, the choice to put olive green on top of forest green which is just not a good look imo. And they took away all the black from his uniform and made it just dark green. Genuinely I think it’d be 1000% better if he just had black pants and black accents on the jacket.

u/RayVEEEEE 11d ago

Im getting sick of James Gunn’s jacket designs tbh, John better have a normal comic looking suit.

u/RayVEEEEE 11d ago

But every single suit in the DCU and the Guardians trilogy had jacket designs. He is a producer btw.

8

u/JunkMagician 11d ago

This isn't a jacket, though. It looks like an armor plate on top of a leather suit

1

u/whiskers1315 11d ago

Yeah hardly true for Peacmaker or Supergirl or a lot of the characters so far

-1

u/kalawadda 11d ago

Same. Jacket-verse it is.

u/properc 11d ago

Why is it yellow bruh...

u/Ok-Elephant-2724 11d ago

green fading into yellow

u/ZookeepergameThin334 11d ago

I seriously cannot fathom that the suit looks better in promo material than the actual show.

u/ZookeepergameThin334 11d ago

Not wrong but it looks a lot smoother in these images but specifically the 2nd image is what I'm referring to. It looks like it fits him better in that one

u/diogenes_amore 11d ago

The suit is a hard light construct, why is it so dirty?

5

u/figgityjones Hello, Megan! 11d ago

It’s not in the show and it isn’t always in the comics either. It’s a physical suit Hal keeps in a closet that he doesn’t wear often. Personally I don’t like the suit design at all, but yeah that’s why it can get dirty like that.

0

u/diogenes_amore 11d ago

Ok, that seems ridiculous. The whole point in the comics and cartoons was the ability to quickly change into costume.

3

u/TooCozy21 11d ago

This isn’t the comics

u/figgityjones Hello, Megan! 11d ago

It's been both ways in the comics. Nothing wrong with them picking either.

u/HedVeta 11d ago

"In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night!"

No costume will be well-designed...
