That’s, unfortunately, not the only rape-related piece of Green Lantern canon that the show will probably have to scrub … There was also the time when Hal Jordan committed statutory rape. For a while, Hal was in a relationship with another Lantern named Arisia, who was a teenager when they met. She later uses her ring to age herself into legal age, but … mentally, she’s still a child. She’s the same person she was before the transformation: an adolescent without sufficient life experiences and knowledge to legally consent to sleeping with a man in his 30s. DC did try to fix this with some retcons, but there was just no coming back from Hal Jordan saying: “I have to show them I’m not a child molester,” you know, like non-creepy people don’t.
DC Comics
HBO Max didn’t confirm that Hal will be a part of the series, though, which will apparently kick off with the Alan Scott character, the original Green Lantern that was powered by magic but was also vulnerable against wood. Thankfully, no wooden weapons exist. On the show, Scott will be a gay FBI agent, a decision that seems to be inspired by the current version of the character. Cool and good. Buuuut they probably will ignore parts of the comic books. Like how the revamped Scott is basically Swamp Thing.
