DC Direct's upcoming Kilowog action figure looks like it will be an interesting addition to my roster of DC Direct Figures I Hope Someday To Own. And the costume it's wearing suggests that the relaunch of the Green Lantern franchise will be using costumes based on the one John Stewart wears on the Justice League cartoon. But that raises some more costuming questions: Why keep the white gloves, and not go all the way to the animated design with black gloves and green gauntlets? Why does the DCU version of John Stewart in the JLA comic similarly wear an inexplicably tweaked costume: Identical to the cartoon one but for the absence of gloves? And instead of getting rid of the green trunks on Hal Jordan's costume, why not just put him in the sleeker cartoon-inspired suit?
