First Look at Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern
Thu, July 15, 2010 
Here is the exclusive "First Look" at Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern. This comes courtesy of Entertainment Weekly in their forthcoming Comic-Con themed issue.
Take a moment and let that picture settle in. Am I the only one who thinks that looks terrible?
Granted it’s always fair to give the filmmakers the benefit of the doubt. But when the news broke awhile back that Reynolds' suit would be a CGI concoction, I wasn't thrilled. It didn't help that the plan was to originally have the actor in an actual suit and I even recall remarks from the likes of Geoff Johns talking about how they saw Reynolds up close and personal in the costume.
But this is...eh. Maybe it'll grow on me?

Perfect!
Hope they take this much care in producing the suit for Nolan's Superman.
I'm with you Jamie, that thing is hideous.
Looks great! Can't wait for this one!
I'm going to just assume that the cover is just really horribly done, and that it'll look much better in the movie. This is a terrible first impression though.
I agree...not the best first impression. But it's a magazine cover so I'm not too disappointed. Waiting for some screen shots.
It looks too much like The Phantom poster.
It just looks so fake. When I first saw it, I thought it was a fan's photoshop. On closer inspection of the hi-res pictures, it looks like a really good photoshop picture of a really bad photoshop picture.
Slam Evil!!!
It looks stupid hopefully it's just looks like that only in the magazine.
I'm wondering if this is the final suit, or if this is what the suit looks like when it first covers Hal. The reason I say that is because of all the detail in the muscles and tendons, along with the green energy flowing through it, it almost looks like it's still forming. I'm not thrilled, but I don't think it's terrible and I'd prefer to see it in action before making the final call.
well i been wondering when we were going to get a look at this cgi created green lantern suit when the news first came out it would be a cgi suit. I got to say it looks pretty good looking. Not like the comics, but a very cool and interesting design choice they went with. Cant wait to see the suit in action.
