The Green Lantern Costume

Well maybe I have time to complain about another costume.
This is Ryan Reynolds in the costume for the upcoming "Green Lantern" film.


Why is it so hard just to use the comic book version?
It's one of the best designed costumes ever, but they have to change it.



Okay, I do like the way they did the mask.
But what's up with the green veins?

Bulletgirl

Bulletman was a Fawcett Comics superhero created by Bill Parker and Jon Smalle for Nickel Comics #1 in May, 1940.

Jim Barr was the son of a police officer who was killed and as a result took it upon himself to fight crime. Like many comic book characters of the time, he used chemistry to develop powers for himself; in his case greater muscle mass and brain power. He also invented a Gravity Regulator Helmet (which was bullet shaped and gave him his name), which allowed him to fly and deflect bullets.

Shortly after Bulletman began his crime-fighting career, he created a second helmet for his girlfriend and later wife Susan Kent, who adopted the name Bulletgirl.

Bulletman and Bulletgirl were Fawcett Comics' second most popular characters after Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family. They were acquired by DC Comics along with the rest of the Fawcett comics stable of characters in 1972. However, the characters lapsed into public domain prior to the said acquisition, which would later allow AC Comics to reprint their Golden Age adventures.

During this period of time, Bulletman and Bulletgirl appeared with fellow Fawcett heroes to form Shazam's Squadron of Justice against the forces of King Kull. Their age appeared to be as it was in the 1940's without explanation. They subsequently appeared a few times with Captain Marvel and his family.

Bulletman and Bulletgirl were eventually retrofitted into DC Universe continuity as members of the All-Star Squadron, and in the pages of The Power of Shazam were given a daughter named Deanna Barr, who donned her mother's helmet and operated briefly under the name Windshear. Bulletman and Bulletgirl also appeared in Alex Ross and Mark Waid's Kingdom Come limited series.

In 2005, a new Bulletgirl known as Bulleteer was introduced as one of the Seven in Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers of Victory. She is unrelated to these older heroes, though her costume is to some extent inspired by theirs. In issue #3, Susan Barr appeared in a brief cameo, visiting her successor.

Bulletman and Bulletgirl later re-appeared in the pages of Infinite Crisis on the newly reborn Earth-S along with the other Fawcett superheroes.

The Body Doubles

The Body Doubles are DC Comics villains. They first appeared in Resurrection Man #1. (March 1996)

Bonny Hoffman and Carmen Leno are hired killers who work for the Requiem, Inc. Assassination Agency. Bonny is the daughter of an East Coast mob boss who wanted to prove to her father that she could be as tough as any man, while Carmen is a former adult film star and exotic dancer, who hoped to advance her career as a legitimate Hollywood actress. Both women met and became assassins and use many types of hi-tech firearms and concealed weapons, often found in their make up accessories

The Body Doubles began working for Bonny's Uncle Nick, an assassin himself, and a magnificent drag queen to boot. As hired killers, the Body Doubles often came into conflict with Resurrection Man.

The two spent some time working for a beauty-obsessed alien warrior woman named Mystress. She wanted to use the energies of several female superheros as part of a makeover. Usually she used normal female victims but this time was special.

The ladies kidnapped Argent, Power Girl and Deep Blue. They went after Black Canary but this was during the time she had no powers so they ended up letting her go.

They also tried to kill Catwoman when she was running for mayor of New York City, but they were defeated.

They continue to work for Uncle Nick, merrily murdering assigned victims while pursuing their dreams. The Body Doubles, as of Villains United #1, have joined the Secret Society of Super Villains, as well as having aided the Riddler and several other villains in Gotham City in Infinite Crisis #1.

Later on in their careers, they adopted a manner of dress reminiscent of the Manga duo The Dirty Pair, as envisaged by Adam Warren.
