Hal was my favourite childhood superhero growing up so I hope they pick him....if they do I will tune in religiously.
It will probably be John Stewart though. That would be my best guest.
It would be neat if it was Kyle Raynor, and absolutely hilarious if they picked Guy Gardner!!! (That for sure would have the highest comedic value)
Who knows they could even go with Jessica.
If he's going to be alpha cliche, I hope it's an ironic take on it
Describing certain men as "alphas" is almost never helpful or appealing, at least when they know they come across as alphas and behave as such. Guy has an obnoxious personality and part of his appeal is his "jerk with a heart of gold" tendencies buried beneath it. It's a balancing act, and if he ends up likable it's usually in spite of his boorish tendencies, not necessary because of them on their own, and how he becomes more of a heroic and better person (with still a touch of a jerk-ish edge).
Men who describe themselves or behave as "alphas" aren't actually real men, they are just jerks (at best). Within the DC universe, we have examples from the WW corner of Heracles, Zeus and Ares for entitled brutish alpha man-children. While we also have Superman (on his better written days) who is very powerful and masculine, a leader to the superhero community, who doesn't behave in an entitled toxic manner because he has nothing to prove and isn't an asshole and stuff like him trouncing the JL in Snyder's movie is actually an unnecessary step back for him.,
No. An Alpha is a man who got their shit together, know their purpose, is dependable/reliable and has gain enough respect among their peers that their leadership can be trusted. I can call Superman an alpha and he doesn't show any the negative traits some people would want to associate with it. Some can be jerks but if you know your value I don't see why not.
