"It's too bad she won't live! But then again, who does? - Gaff Blade Runner
"In a short time, this will be a long time ago." - Werner Slow West
"One of the biggest problems in the industry is apathy right now." - Dan Didio Co-Publisher of I Wonder Why That Is Comics
It's pretty much common knowledge that Dan isn't a fan of ANY legacy character.
He wanted to kill off Nightwing, he's taken Wally and Roy off the board, Garth isn't recognisable as Tempest, and then there's all the other TT characters who have been in limbo for over a decade.
The JSA have been unseen in a decade. Jay Garrick pops up for 2 pages never to be seen again.
The current mentality is Silver Age or nothing at all because they (according to Dan) are the most 'iconic' versions of the characters.
Hence the return of Barry, Hal, Ollie etc.
While there is certainly merit in that statement, to push these characters while tearing down everything else is providing a HUGE disservice to both the creators and the readers.
"My name is Wally West. I'm the fastest man alive!"
I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
Thank you for taking the time to write this explanation. It was really helpful!
On a side note: Man, I miss Connor. I liked his interactions with Kyle.
I don't know why I never noticed this, but the background of Kyle's symbol here is colored like his original uniform (the green and black). I do miss that symbol compared to his current one.
As I haven't read HJatGLC, is there a reason Kyle chose to wear his original uniform with just a symbol change when he became a GL again, aside from a meta reason?
Personally I prefer Kyle as a green lantern ever since he became the white lantern it felt like Kyle lost his way
Kyle didn't specifically mention the change in Lantern symbol (presumably because he's part of the Corps now rather than his own solo version), but in the comic there's a sentiment behind him going back to his original look:

It's good having Kyle Back on the Earth with the Titans.
Now if we could get a solo book of him away from the rest of the GLC and let him be the cool Earthbound artist GL that he works best as, that would be awesome.

While I do enjoy Guy and Kyle's friendship, I'd rather see Kyle interact with more heroes outside of the GLC. I'm glad we got at least a story arc of him with the Titans, especially seeing Kyle and Donna together again, even for just a little while.
I'd love to see Kyle and Wally's friendship revisited as well as Kyle and Connor's, but that's not going to happen anytime soon, sadly.
