HOLY SHITTHEY CAN'T BE FUCKING SERIOUS
edit: how i'm imagining the board room meeting responsible for that shitty idea
Exec 1: OK Guys, we need a new idea for a Green Lantern book.
Exec 2: OK, we could use more Black characters in the New 52, so let's make it a black guy.
Exec 3: We could also use a muslim character. Let's make him a black muslim.
Alright, it's settled. Black Muslim Green Lantern. But how do we portray him, to show that we're culturally sensitive?
We could just make him a normal Green Lantern. That's a pretty heroic and positive role.
No, that's a horrible idea. Nobody would get it. Let's give him a ski mask.
Great idea! Put a gun in his hand and we've got ourselves a cover. That's a wrap, guys, let's go play golf.
I don't think DC could have pulled off being more offensive without making him use his green lantern ring to create a bucket of fried chicken.
