Rumors going around that the first Green Lantern, Alan Scott, being reintroduced as a gay character has turned out to be true.
DC has officially announced that Alan Scott will be reintroduced in the DC Universe as a gay character. James Robinson will be rewriting Alan Scott in Earth 2 #2, which is to be out next Wednesday, due to the New 52 writing out Scott's son, Obsidian, out of existence.
“I was sort of putting the team together and I realized one of the only downsides to relaunching the Justice Society as young, vibrant heroes again was that Alan Scott’s son was no longer going to exist in the reboot,” says Robinson. “I thought that was a shame and then it occurred to me, why not just make Alan Scott gay.”
Lol DC trying to leech off of Marvel's ideas
