It is a suit that is recognizable as the person chosen to wear it. It is none other than the Green Lantern outfit. There is a lot of difference that has come from. Since the early days when the super hero first graced the pages of the comics, the suit has taken on a new character with every person that has taken the oath and swore to uphold the code of the lantern. Alan Scott was the first man chosen to grace the costume and make a statement all on his own with his suit.
His costume was comprised of a puffy red top with a yellow circle in the middle of his torso that held the emblem of the Lanterns. Green pants with black boots and black gloves helped to complete off the look of the super hero. As was popular back in that period, the comic book version showcased a cape which was also black with a lime green colored lining. His mask was made to complement the rest of the outfit, as it also was black.
Next Hal Jordan stepped into the role and with that, brought a new form to the character and made it his own. There was a unified theme of black and green that was spread all throughout the costume. This was done in an attempt to bring in a lot of the fans that had been lost with the introduction of the Alan Scott version.
Jordan's gloves were more of an off white and presented more of a hero image. In this edition, the cape was gone and the lanterns costume was on the whole much more of a hero style and less of the cartoon design that had been found in the early version.
Guy Gardner would be selected as the next individual to fill in the suit. This led to many noticeable changes that were apparent in the overall appearance of the uniform. One of the most notable of these was the fact that the suit had a more futuristic appearance to it and presented a more appealing image to fans of the comic.
Kyle Rayner would become the incarnation of the super hero that we know today. This is the image that is portrayed in the movie from this year. The green and black appearance has spread all over the costume and is one of the more appealing versions that have been created to date.
As the years have passed these changes have allowed the character to go from a cartoon character in comics to a full-fledged super hero. Many of the fans of the comics will agree that the early version was a god attempt, but the latest version is quite honestly one of the best around.
Now that a person has all of the information that they need about the Green Lantern uniform, there is no reason why a person will have problems with being able to distinguish the difference in the various forms that have been seen over the last few years.

Monday 26th September - Preview of New Show. It is common for Theatre shows do run preview events and performances before the formal run of dates begins... It is common for comedians to try out material on a selected audience before going on tour... I would assume therefore that Magicians would do the same... For me this was the first time of running a dress rehearsal preview of a full two hour show in front of an invited audience and I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to do it! OK, the downside is having to cover the costs of hiring the venue BUT the pluses far outweigh these costs. It's almost impossible to rehearse a mentalism show without an audience, and despite the scripting, blocking, routining that needs to be done its not until there are real people watching what you do are you likely to get any sense of the 'effectiveness' of your show. Seance: The Daisey Mae story is a two hour show ending in a seance. I spent ages on a back story linking the...
