Haven’t read any the Titans issues when Kyle joined.....have they teased that he and Donna used to date? Are they even hinting st going down that road again? (Minus Byrne screwing things up)

Lol. I find it best to just ignore King's nonsense as well. They should make a Kingverse though. Then he can destroy all the characters he wants without ruining the real ones.
As for Kyle being in it, he just got a one panel head shot like the rest of a couple of dozen other heroes, so not so bad.

That's Tom Taylor, though.
The artist did a nice job here imo. I like it.
Pretty much this. Cool that King acknowledges Kyle being half-Mexican. Personally, I'm fine with it being a permanent part of Kyle's story (love the idea of him learning and wanting to explore his father's heritage), but not really a fan of how King did it.
Yeah, I don’t think most people care about Kyle being half Hispanic, what they hate is how it has NEVER been a big part of his character and suddenly King tries to make it the main focus of the character every time he writes him.

Why do you think Kyle Rayner is not used much outside of comics or even crossover comics (star trek,planet of the ape)?

Yeah, Kyle's lack of presence in outside media has often perplexed me as well. He was the main Lantern for a decade, you'd think he would have a higher profile in animation or video games. Even Guy has appeared more often than him outside of comics.
He should. Hal was my first Lantern but I really grew to love Kyle as a character. He was so much fun and was just an every man. He was awesome. I really wish they’d give him his own book again and let him come back to Earth and draw comics and superhero like he used to. I wish the Lanterns would spend more time on Earth, other than Simon and Jess since neither of them really works that much for me.
I think part of it is...I dunno, Kyle's niche as the "young and hip Lantern who was the only member of the Corps." status didn't make him easy to fit in compared to the more standard GL's like Hal and John.
Or maybe it's just a simple case of every time it came up to use a GL in a media adaption it usually comes down to who best fit the setting/series and it usually ended up being Hal, John, or Guy.
I do remember Giancarlo Volpe confirming there were plans for him to appear in GL:TAS.
I would LOVE a Legion book with Kyle in it, and I think it makes perfect sense for the character.
