Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner has appeared in recent set photos ofSupermanwearing less green than most would expect. TheDC Universecharacter is part of a largeSupermancastthat has been discussed for the past year. As casting confirmed numerous heroic characters, including Hawkgirl and Mr. Terrific, it seemed that an entire Justice League of pre-existing heroes was being setup in the new DCU. With recent set photos showing a potentially larger connection to LordTech and a larger universe, audiences have been discussing the possibilities that that reflects.
Launching an entirely new DC Universe has meant establishing a heightened world filled with colorful and exciting heroes from scratch.James Gunn’s universe appears to be built with many of those heroes already fighting crime, and establishing that has involved revealing many costumes.However, whileSuperman’s costume has made some confidentfor future reveals, other costumes, including Green Lantern’s, have caused some head-scratching. It is worth looking into why this new look is controversial.

Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner Look Seems To Repeat A Divisive DC Comic Design
Guy Gardner’s Green Lantern Sports A Familiar Haircut
Let’s be honest, Guy Gardner has always looked a little bit silly in DC comics. First appearing in 1968, the redheaded hero has generally been seen as a lesser Green Lantern, behind the likes of Hal Jordan and John Stewart.The most iconic images of the hero typically tend to show him sporting a bowl cutwith a face and attitude that are not becoming of the most heroic figures in the DC Universe. While the comics have tended to change this hair occasionally, the less-flattering looks seem to be the ones that have stuck most with fans.
On Threads, James Gunn confirmed Nathan Fillion would be featuring Guy Gardner’s iconic bowl cut, andrecentSupermanset photoshave finally unveiled the character’s look. In a surprisingly white suit,the actor is seen sporting an orange haircut that appears close to his comic book counterpart. With a few modern flourishes, Nathan Fillion’s suit seems distant from his comic book design, but his haircut appears lifted right from the pages.

Green Lantern’s Costume Has Been Surprisingly Difficult To Get Right
Some love the look, others do not. Getting a Green Lantern costume correct has been difficult for DC through the years.In the Ryan Reynolds starring filmGreen Lanternfrom 2011, the suit was confusingly added entirely in post-production. Other than this, the character quickly appeared inZack Snyder’s Justice League, and in various television series and video games, all with different interpretations of the hero’s uniform. Generally, each iteration so far has been animated to match the extraterrestrial origins of the character.
Notably, there appears to be nothing extraterrestrial about the suit seen in recent set photos. While details may be added in post-production, as has been done with other realizations of the character,the suit Nathan Fillion wears does not appear to be unfinished. Some have noted that these suits may be a corporate take on superheroes and are supposed to look corporate and bland, but others also believe they just look cheap and silly.
Looking at other realizations, it is difficult to tell how the DCU’s Hawkgirl and Green Lantern will compare to the versions of the characters that appeared in the DCEU. Looking at the brief look audiences had of Green Lantern inZack Snyder’s Justice Leagueis undoubtedly a much different style than what is being shown in these set photos. However,all of that was created in post-production. As a result, it is difficult to fairly compare these set photos to any prior character adaptation.
