Before we get to scans of other images from Entertainment Weekly’s Green Lantern article, I wanted to draw your attention that detail from the cover, which reveals GL’s costume. GL’s ugly, awful costume. The suit itself is a nightmare – many have already said that the striated musculature makes Lantern look like a gamma-irradiated Slim Goodbody. But what’s up with this mask, which appears to be applied to Ryan Reynold’s face as grease paint? Is this just a shitty PhotoShop job for the cover of the magazine or is Hal Jordan going to have his ring magic up a grease paint kit for him?
Ugh.
Anyway, there are more pics within the issue, including shots of Ryan Reynolds out of costume, wherein he looks like Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Reynolds holding a floating ring (a very cool shot, should have been the first image we saw from the film) and a shot of Hector Hammond with Angela Bassett in a terrible wig as Amanda Waller, one day to be head of the DC Universe’s Suicide Squad (although probably not, as Warner Bros seems to be shying away from a shared universe). ‘Enjoy.’
These pics come from iFanboy, who don’t attribute from whence they came.

I did the last one..but maybe because blake lively is in it..:)
That 'mask' is some seriously ugly, misconceived shit.
The thing I think you're missing is that the mask is supposed to be sort of existing in another dimension from his face, or something like that. The 3-dimensionality of the eyeholes makes the mask appear to exist in the same space as his face, rather than resting on top of it. It looks like freaky alien tech, sort of hologram-like, I guess is what I'm trying to say here. You can see it even in the gloves, where — depending on the way the light hits — some surfaces look like glove material and others seem to have the texture of flesh. I think it's really fitting for GL — kind of eerie and surreal in a way. I think when people realize what they are looking at — the principal idea behind the suit — they are going to be kind of blown away. Maybe.
Blake looks hot…but I like brunettes so whatevs…
This looks like a CW Smallville spin-off
The floating ring shot IS cool, but the ring should be at least as out of focus as his hand. Unless it's flying backwards or something. Lousy photoshop work on everything. I like Reynolds but this thing looks like a turkey.
Angela Basset should have been Storm, now she has to play Waller…when any fool can see CCH Pounder IS Waller. Nice job on casting Lively instead of an actress in her 30s, ugh. Put in Maria Bello and now we're talkin'
Still looks better than Scott Pilgrim.
I don't know. I wrestiling with it. A part of me says this suit looks way too corny, but Commentguy makes an interesting point that we should wait and see how the suit is applied. I agree with that. I will happily reserve full judgement until the movie comes out.
Based on the text in the corner of the images, I think these are the scans from the Entertainment Weekly.
First thing that came to mind is "Why so serious?". They aren't going the Batman route with Green Fucking Lantern are they? THIS should be the fun one.
@ #5 this thing looks like a turkey? really? you can tell that from a few photo's? wow, while your at it, whats next weeks loto numbers?
I agree with #3, around the eye sockets it looks like a normal mask, but it it looks like its paper thin near the edges, i love the look, should we be so quick to slag it just because the movie is trying something we haven't seen before? I think this looks great. But its FAR to early to make any sort of judgments yet, and Devin should know better. Were you not invited to the set?
I never much cared for Blake Lively before… until I saw her as a brunette.
WOW!
Sorry, but that floating ring shot looks like crap.
guy #4 pretty much said it all. the problem is the internet is so obsessed with the look of their source material that they don't really appreciate cinematic exploration. why on earth would the GL wear a suit? let me guess he makes a thick chunky suit like in superman returns with a cool mask that has spaces on it where it doesn't connect to the skin as tight…give me a break, this is a really good concept, the suit and even the mask just exist on his body as energy manifested and not some 50's artist idea of a cool greenblacknwhite suit. the mask is the coolest part, it has structural pieces but it also is seamless and the white eyes are cool but he still has pupils for expression and direction. that being said the thor suits look like stuff from the CW, and really should have went for more of a esad rubic vibe. peace
I like it, the green sinewy muscle style is quite unique. Kind of makes him look like the Guyver or something. I dig. Hope the rest of the movie holds up.
OMG this movie is going to suck! That suit sucks! How could they ever do this to GL?!? You can tell from how soft the egdes are that they are going to make pink his weak color instead of yellow! And I predict that since Lively has brown hair, that the ring will shoot out brown rays and make everyone's hair brown in the movie! I can tell all this from a few stills! Fucking nerds.
I think the costume stinks. It should be a UNIFORM! This is just bad. The GL corps has always been described as a galactic police force, therefore they should wear a uniform. This is a real turn off for this film.
