Listen, I realize that Green Lantern has been disliked and/or loved for years. I understand that a lot of people aren't exactly Hal's biggest fans and that Hal Jordan has been getting an easy ride in his own very popular title for several years now. I'm not a particular fan and don't buy any GL titles....but is it really necessary to make him such a complete TOOL?

I mean unless this is leading to a 'GL realizes what a jerk he's been and makes the heroic choice' moment, this borders on character assassination.

GUY GARDNER IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THE MORE APPEALING ONE. I mean, Guy is a jackass, but even he at his worst was presented as being a hero, just a mean-spirited, rude and short-sighted one. GL here is presented as a shallow, vane and pretty-much ineffectual hero. 5 years in the past or nothing, this seems like going too far to bring him back down to earth.

As for Aquaman? I LIKE AQUAMAN. So there.
