DC Comics has finally revealed its established gay superhero as Alan Scott, the Green Lantern. Not to be confused by the Green Lantern portrayed by Ryan Reynolds last year on film, the print Alan Scott is a completely re-branded, younger version of the comic book Green Lantern, who had a gay son. Creator James Robinson: "The Alan Scott I’m doing now is that same dynamic, brave, honorable man. A man that you’d want guarding your welfare, your children, your life, your home. He’s willing to give his life for the world. He’s everything you want in a hero. And he happens to be gay."
