It just bothered me that they made the Green Lantern black in the JL series on Cartoon Network. NOT that I hate black people but because I always imagine the GL white (And still do)
I know there was a Justice LEague episode with the white Green Lantern on the Green Lantern home planet (And yes I have seen every single episode of the series so that's how I know these trivial facts) but it still bothered me that they changed GL to a black dude
So they couldn't replace HawkGirl or the Martian with some black superhero? Were the Martian or HawkGirl even original members?

was there a black Green Lantern in the actual comics?
I've always been a Marvel Comics guy, but I've watched all the DC cartoons....my comic geek friend hated the black GL, but I thought he was cool. Seems better than just some lame generic guy since there's lots of different Lanterns

John Stewart's been around since the 70s. he wasn't just created for the TV series. actually, to be honest I'm glad they went with john instead of Hal or Kyle because Hal and Kyle have so much backstory, but John's comparatively bland. the series made him into a very cool and well developed character. ditto Hawkgirl, though IMO if they wanted to add another chick JLer, they shoulda gone with Zatanna or Black Canary (though they DID ad both later

John Stewart has been around since the 70's actually, thats pretty original. I always thought he was a much better Green Lantern then Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner.

/\ Guy Gardner is my fave human GL, lol. I love how he had a 'tude and wasn't an uptight ass like Hal Jordan. Kyle was... I dunno, I always thought of him being like the Michaelangelo of the GL corps

Well it's good to know he was more original
It's just that when I picture JL I picture a white dude
Who were the original members of the JL anyways?

uh oh crap... lol Alan Scott was the first one, but that was in the Golden Age when there was no Corps. the corps was always like 3600+ members. in total, there have been 5 human Green lanterns (Alan Scott, Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart and Kyle Rayner), and 6 if you count Jade (I don't, but she had similar powers so I could see why one would). in addition, Kilowog and Arisia were always important ones, despite being aliens

everything is a racial slur.... If we're talking Justice League (not the Golden age Justice Society) then the original memember would be the usual suspects, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter. Pretty much everyone else in the DC Universe have also been members at one time or another.

I like it when they keep to the original form (Though I can understand why they didn't)

Green Lanter/Green Arrow was one of the most important comic series ever IMO I never got the big hype of Green Arrow. He wasn't terrible but I never thought he was that great (Seeing just the JLU series that is) Was much more interested in guys like Booster Gold

yeah they kinda screwed up Booster Gold. he's much more interesting when paired with Blue Beetle, but due to some stupid radio station holding the rights to the character, they couldn't use BB, and as a result they never really went anywhere with Booster
