Quote: Licensing has a HELL of a lot to do with it. But I suppose John Stewart being the Green Lantern in the JLA comic now is just a coincidence, right? Why don't you take a look around? Notice that Toad in X-Men greatly resembles the movie version? Or all the Hugh Jackman look a like covers they've done in the past few years? Batman quickly went from using batarangs to scale buildings to that neat little gadget from the Burton film with no explanation. (a change that works, and makes sense for once.)
Kyle Rayner? No problem with Kyle Rayner other than being written poorly 90% of the time. But just this year we've seen rumors of Hal coming back to Green Lantern. At this stage, they're still rumors, and I hope they stay that way. But once again, as soon as the Justice League cartoon took off, here's John Stewart, resplendant in his animated show uniform, complete with green glowing eyes. After years of him also being in a wheelchair, I might add.
Not to mention how Metropolis, Krypton and Supergirl's costume turned into their animated counterparts when Superman Animated came out, and how they're trying as hard as they can to resemble Smallville right now...
