Can't believe they had a chance to adapt kyle in the newest animated universe, but chose john again and again. So now john has kyle's origin story in the animated movie, and kyle is still again nowhere to be found

Dude i recently picked up Ron Marz' run of Kyle so this makes me pretty excited for what lies ahead. Kyle sounds like he'd be the most inspiring of the human GLs, not to mention seeing him interact with more veteran heroes seems like it'd be pretty awesome in its own right.

There's just something awesome about legacy characters! Some of them, Kyle included, are more deep and compelling than the standard ones. Others for me are Wally, Dick, Miles, Laura, Flash Thompson... I just wish the big 2 wouldn't ditch them every few years for the old ones.

Hal is a legend but Kyle has always been a more interesting character in personality and storylines he was involved, to me. Same with Wally West. DC used to do character swaps the right way, unlike current DC/Marvel when they try that angle nowadays.

They basically gave Kyle the Wally West treatment at this point, like the writers went through so much trouble to develop wally into flash and Make Kyle Green Lantern just to forget about them and barely give them story arcs when the original returns, Like Kyle was the 1st green lantern to be immune to the yellow color weakness, he never gets recognition for it, even when barry comes back to life they literally gave him Wally's personality, My point is I love Hal and Barry but it would've been better if they stayed dead.

Thank you for shining the spotlight on Kyle. As much as I like Geoff's work, I did not like his decision to bring back Hal. All he did was push Kyle to the sidelines. I wish DC comics would treat their legacy characters with more respect but no! They rather mistreat them and push them to the side in favour of their silver age predecessors. It is like wwe booking old wrestlers like Goldberg to win their tip belts instead of a young new wrestler. So much story potential and DC continue to squander it.

Hal Jordan is the best GL. The only reason people think Kyle is great is because all the awesome Parallax Hal Jordan stuff in it. Kyle had mostly forgetable villians . Hals sporadic appearances in GL saved and prolonged the legacy of Kyle Rayner

My two biggest issues with your opinion is Hal is the least interesting of the green lanterns where as I have him second, of the what like 7 human lanterns now? I believe could be wrong but I don’t think Hal is boring green lantern rebirth is one of my favorite stories, personally I think Guy Gardner is the least interesting I understand his character but I just don’t like him compared to Kyle,Hal,John,Allan(different version of a green lantern I know),Simon and Jessica the other part was I think Kyle’s original suit is one of the worst green lantern suits created the white chest is off too much for me, his early 2000s version of his suit is amazing I love it, the only other green lantern suit I think I dislike more is Simon’s

The fact that your response to the fridging of Alex is "well, I don't think it's bad, because KYLE (...)" kinda of already proves what's wrong with this trope, and makes your attempts at defending it ineffective.
