Hal in the new season of Young Justice. I guess time hasn't been kind once again.

Yeah, like, seriously why is he the only major adult hero who seems like they've really aged?
It's not even like the whole "he doesn't have any actual powers" excuse cuts it since Batman, Canary, and Green Arrow all still look the same.
Are they adapting Parallax? Or getting ready to ship him off for Kyle?
Hope that's the reason and Parallax infecting him is again the reason for the dramatic aging, because otherwise it doesn't make sense. How do you get from this to this in the span of a few years.
But who knows, it's not like the GLs are a big part of the show so maybe this won't really go anywhere and he just got old for "reasons".
I know it is sacrilege among all GL fans, but I prefer the costume without the white gloves. Not crazy about the old, weathered look, and thinking they're definitely hinting at Parallax aging him because that's a lot more aging than just gray, but whether we see it on screen or it happens in between seasons, who knows. But yeah, like the modification to the costume/outfit.
Given that more high profile books have seen larger drops between their 1st and 2nd Issues, those sales estimates are fairly small. It will be the sales figures between #2 and #3 which will indicate how healthy this series is. No need to panic... yet.
You also have to remember that we aren't getting mainstream Morrison here (as seen on titles such as JLA and All-Star Superman.) No, the Morrison we are getting is the same one who penned Animal Man and Doom Patrol. Which isn't everyone's cup of tea.
Actually, I wasn't entirely sure which one we were going to get. But #3 sealed it for me with Morrison's commentary on religion etc. Earth being purchased by an alien who calls himself The Shepherd? Who then proceeds to mature the population of the planet over eons until it is ripe for him to devour them in a rapture/armageddon type scenario? The population willingly submitting because he looks like a religious figure many are inclined to trust? Hal Jordan placing him under arrest? That is classic Morrison and I absolutely love it.

It could be Parallax. However, just by the ages/time frame of Young Justice Hal and a few of the other "elder" Leaguers would have to be in his late 30's to early 40's by now...so the hair somewhat fits if he is prone to the side grey.
However, I'm hoping for an adaptation of Parallax in Young Justice. That would be awesome.
