So DC-comics-fandom zeitgeist seems to be headed in greenish directions. The assorted Green Lanterns past and present; the Green Arrow family, with its long associations with the GL and Flash families (not to mention plenty of incestuous-ish subtext); the Martian Manhunk Manhunter; Gar Logan is even back with the latest incarnation of the Titans.

And that's not remotely all.

I'd been feeling the need to have icons for a bunch of these folks, and these relationships. Several other people around LJ were good enough to share icons of various DCU characters in green, but I needed more. In the process of finding images I liked for my own use, I wound up with... rather more than I needed, or indeed could possibly use on my own.

So now it's my turn to share. These are all .gif format, which is both smaller than a .jpg and animation-ready. If you're planning to make an animated icon, you may share up to five bases (but not claim for exclusive use more than two). Please indicate in comments whether you want dibs on your choice(s) or are willing to share -- if you don't specify otherwise, it will be marked as shareable.

Shared icons marked in green, claimed icons in red.

The sources for most of these are right in the filenames; "John-GL156.gif" would be a picture of John (Stewart) taken from Green Lantern #156, and "JonnOllie-JLAJSAVnV.gif" is J'onn J'onzz (PhotoBucket made me take the apostrophes out) and Oliver Queen from JLA/JSA: Virtue & Vice.

If you know the source of any of the asterisked* icons' base images, please comment below, and I'll update the filenames. ETA: Two down, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ratcreature and [livejournal.com profile] caia_comica; thanks to you both!

No. 36 is from DC: The New Frontier #2. It's from that sequence where he also turns into Bugs Bunny and such, I remember because I shared a page scan of that. It's a hilarious scene.

It was probably your scan that I used, and forgot to make myself any sort of notation as to where I found it. Good eye, and thanks for the info. It is a hilarious scene, indeed.

And I've added you to the DC-Comics-slash-people filter. You should've spoken up sooner...

Mmmm, green!

*attempts to nudge zeitgeist further*

Wish I had more icon slots. May come later for the GA, or because I just can't resist--but meanwhile, yipee!

And I'm *seriously disturbed* by 20. In a mostly good way.

The GA part of the set is up now. As for nudging the zeitgeist, the best way to encourage it is to talk these green folks up; leave fic, challenges, meta, art and/or icons where people will see them.

That shot of Spectre!Hal rolling on the ground with his limbs akimbo and his arse exposed ought to be disturbing... but yeah, mostly good.

(figures out what asterisks mean)

25 is on the cover of the GL/GA Hard-Traveling Heroes collection from 1992. Whether it's original to that, I'm not sure, but the copywrite page just says "Cover illustration by Neal Adams".

Ah, excellent, thank you. Yeah, the cover may not have appeared there first, but it is on that book, and that's a good enough attribution for me.

Ooh, very nice. I'm taking #30, but I don't mind sharing. Thank you! :D

#28 is so wrong yet so, so right.

Thank you muchly for offering these icons!

I would like to use #34, #35 (...the hell?) and #37 please. Quite willing to share them as well, because it's good to spread the green.

Somehow that doesn't sound right.

From: [identity profile] buggery.livejournal.com
Sharing is good. As is spreading the green.

#35 is from a cover where the various JLA members are battling an enormous humanoid monster. J'onn's tactic is apparently to grab hold of a convenient limb and hump it into submission...

Your icon intrigues me -- it's from JLA Year One? What does the Japanese say?

Date: 2004-05-13 07:16 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] sil-no-kozi.livejournal.com
Yes, the icon is from Year One. The climax of the story immediately put in mind of the final episode of the original Sailor Moon series (as well as the climax of the Sailor Moon R movie).

The lyrics are from MU-NRAITO Densetsu (Moonlight Legend) (http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/smoon/densetsu.htm), the first opening theme; the full version plays in the final episode during the big battle which includes Usagi as the primary vector and the senshi supporting her in a similar manner to the end of Year One (I very nearly used Moon Revenge from the end of the R movie as a similar ending occurs). According to animelyrics.com, the translation reads:

A wondrous miracle growing closer.
We'll be brought together by fate many times over.


I have a bad habit of relating things back to Sailor Moon. Of course, this leads to my point of how JLA is ultimately about friendship (and love and justice) and how Wonder Women used to transform from her civilian identity by whirling her lasso around herself. Then I start seeing characters in fuku and tuxedos, sparkles and fireworks everywhere, and everything goes wonky.

You must be thrilled that the voice-actor playing Bruce in the new The Batman series is the same bloke who voiced Tuxedo Mask, then...

Ehhh...I'm reserving judgment on the new series until I see (and hear) it. I found "Darren's" voice to be a bit grating in all honesty.

And, much belatedly, the post reflects your claim. Enjoy!

(In the DCU, most dead characters *are* hot... even before they come back.)
