As to why we did what we did to Hal, I think Hal can take it is the short version. If Hal can't take it, then he's not the character I thought he was. But I'm sure if you're a fan of Hal, yeah, you know he can take it, you know he can take some lumps. He's a big enough character to take the knocks. -- Al Ewing

The big thing here is that nobody knows what the Green Lantern is. In the regular DC Universe, Green Lantern is like a known thing all over Earth. Everybody sees that symbol, they know, "Oh, it's one of those space cops with the rings." No space cops, no rings, no lanterns. What is the Green Lantern? It's an enormous object that has fallen on a town... -- Al Ewing

I get about as riled as I can get about these things nowadays when other creators choose to artificially raise the stakes in their stories by destroying characters and concepts before they even get a chance to be explored. How can I ever forgive my former Batman editor and pal Peter Tomasi for killing Red Racer, the gay Flash of Earth-36 thereby destroying his relationship with Flashlight, that world’s version of Green Lantern, and killing a newly-created queer character for no defensible reason? - Grant Morrison

The thing is, it’s a common science fiction concept. There’s nothing new about a society that outlaws emotion. What I wanted to explore with it though, was this is a society in the process of change. This is a society in which certain people have discovered how to subvert the lack of emotion and they are not so much lamenting the type of rebellion that happened in Equilibrium, but they’re coping with it. They’re struggling. They don’t have the learning to deal with it. Human beings spend their lives learning to master their emotions. If you had no emotions until you were 30 and then suddenly experienced anger for the first time, you would probably kill somebody. -- N.K. Jemisin

That's a big strand with the relationship that Hal starts to develop with the young Guardians. And they're almost the opposite [of their predecessors]: They're not ancient, they're not authoritarian in that sense but they have very strict ideas of what they think is right and wrong. They have far-seeing abilities to predict what might happen and how things will work out. But, as you said, they're not always necessarily right and they're going to have to learn that. -- Grant Morrison

So we loved the kind of disconnection of that: the beatnik idea of how Jordan has no home, he sleeps on friends' couches, he sleeps with women who have these bizarre connections with him. He travels with nothing but his lantern and a rucksack. And he hitchhikes on the road, he's afraid of nothing, he likes a fight, he's just this old-school kind of guy who's trying to survive. He's like a cowboy trying to survive in the 21st century in a lot of ways. -- Grant Morrison

For me, it was about going back to what the hell happened to this guy. He gets this ring, he's adopted into an interplanetary police force, and basically all his relationships fall apart and he can't hold down a job. There are a dozen women whom he has maintained all these difficult, and bizarre, and quite different relationships with, and he can't seem to hold it together. But he happens to be the greatest cosmic cop of all. -- Grant Morrison

Yeah, we were going right back to the original physical model for Sinestro. [Sinestro co-creator] Gil Kane used David Niven so we thought it would be funny if this Anti-Matter Sinestro was this English gentleman. Give him a slight cynical bite and sense of humor and it just set the whole origins for the character again and we loved the look of his colors; we reversed the colors of his Sinestro suit, it looks great! -- Grant Morrison

Instead of Hal butting heads with these geriatric space dudes that he always had problems with, where he was the young cocky guy and they were the old heads, suddenly we have Young Guardians. It’s also having a little bit of fun with this ‘ok boomer’ thing. -- Grant Morrison
