John Stewart: Green Lantern Appreciation 2021

This scene from GLC #29 reminds me a lot of Mass Effect:









Biotic powers would be a cool basis for live-action GL abilities.

I would love to see John Stewart take some stuff from John Shepard. Hell Mass Effect as a setting in general should definitely be something DC Cosmic draws on for inspiration, particularly the Citadel Council vs. the United Planets

I'm kind of surprised there's so much fanart of just those five heroes but I guess that's because no one can agree on who else should be in the Big Seven.

Yeah that's one thing that kinda bugs me about the League. It's supposed to be the premier All-Star team but they can never establish a consistent 6 and 7 spot.

I think, again, part of that is because fans will either expect Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, Hawkgirl, or Cyborg depending on who you ask and what their experience is.

Even with Flash, people probably have a preferred Flash but you can obscure that with the mask and just imagine it's any Flash you want it to be.

It’s actually from the Justice League Heroes game



Toonami and Wizard focused on a Big Five as well:







I think it partially has to do with how iconic their chest logos are.

And those weren't even the only playable heroes...

I dunno, Aquaman has an A and Martian Manhunter has his X.

This was pretty much the ensemble that we had when Robert Venditti took over after Scott Snyder's Justice League's run. I really hated that Robert Venditti left the book. He treated John Stewart so well.

I'm wondering whether this is what Robert Venditti had drawn the big five inspiration from?

Maybe-- It's also easier to make sure everyone has a personality and panel-time when you limit yourself to a Five-Man Band.

I think that's why JLU worked well. Even though there was a large number of Leaguers, each episode only featured a handful of them.

In my headcanon, these five sit at the round table, but the League has dozens of other members, both full-time and part-time...

MMH got a logo during the New52 that remains today, but I think his look keeps him back more than M'Gann, who I think is more easily marketable.

Aquaman's logo is at his waist, so using it in silhouette like the "iconic"-style images above would draw attention to his crotch.

JLU had the anthology approach but started out with their own version of the Big Seven. Sometimes it's important to have a core team and five can be limiting to the wider, major, DCU heroes.

M'Gann has her White Martian baggage that J'onn doesn't.

I mean...it's a belt.
