Last week rumors swirled that DC Comics would be following in the footsteps of Marvel (with the recent announcement that they would be releasing an issue of their comic where Northstar will marry his longtime companion) by having one of their superheroes coming out of the closet. Now it has been confirmed that the original Green Lantern Alan Scott is ready to let his flame burn bright.
From Bleeding Cool:
I ran semi-sourced stories indicating that the character who DC Comics announced as being reintroduced to the New 52 DC Universe as a gay man, was Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern, who appeared in Earth 2 #1 briefly,
Well, at Phoenix Comic Con, I had a much stronger source confirm to me that, yes, it is indeed Alan Scott. On that basis I feel confident in calling it. Keep your Earth 2 #1 in good nick, and start queuing up for Earth 2 #2… right about now.
Unless you are a hardcore GL fan you know of Alan, but I'm sure people who aren't familiar with the comic will think if there is a sequel in the works to the flop movie, that Ryan Reynolds (who played Hal Jordan) will go gay.
