Everything But The Weed

Actor Ryan Reynolds showed up at the 2010 Comic-con to spread the word about the new Warner Bros. superhero flick, “Green Lantern” expected in 2011.  The actor came to Comic-con wearing the Green Lantern Power Ring and answered questions for all fans. Mr. Reynolds was reported to have even recited the famous Green Lantern oath for a small boy in attendence. Green Lantern’s suit is a prominent feature of the new film.  

  At the appearance the famous suit was no where to be seen . “Where is it, we want to see it,” the crowd demanded. I mean, if Ryan’s out promoting his superhero motion picture, shouldn’t he be suited up in the proverbial Spandex .   Sit down for this; apparently the suit was fashioned entirely from CGI, so he never actually wore the suit for filming. Another non-traditional element of the Green Lantern costume is that it does not feature the signature white gloves that were part of the crime-fighters ensemble in the comics and cartoons.  Actually, Reynolds admitted he thinks the white gloves were “lame” but reassured the convention-goers that “the fanboys and the people new to the character are going to love it (the Green Lantern costume).”

 Of course, if you are interested in a Green Lantern superhero costume, you’re not going to be able to rely on computer-generated images – you’re going to have to suit up the old-fashioned way. The new costume comes as a skin tight superhero suit with a padded muscle chest. The great thing about having these built-in, padded muscles is that you don’t have to hit the gym to look ripped. To complete the disguise an eye mask is included so no one will recognize you on the street.

 Another necessary accessory  for any Green Lantern costume, Hollywood or Halloween bound, is the power ring. This ring has magical capabilities and has been described as “the most powerful weapon in the universe.” The power ring can translate language, split atoms, be summoned from a distance – whatsoever the wearer wills to happen, the ring will execute or build. The only restriction of the Green Lantern’s ring is that it has to be recharged by flame from his personal battery, the Lantern. Good thing the Green Lantern costume version works of regular, store-bought batteries!
