Get it? Good.
Diggin' the blog, when she decided to show this faux pas to the audience.
See, for those who aren't aware, John Stewart here... the Green Lantern ... is not Green Arrow, Oliver Queen.
Stewart has long been hailed as the JLA's "Angry Black Man"... hey every super-team needs one, right? (we'll get into that another time). I can just imagine his rant at seeing this box...
"Who the hell went and did this? Do I LOOK like some arrow-shootin', Robin Hood-wannabe with more money than brains???"-- John is voiced by actor-comedian Phil Lamar , but for this rant, only Samuel L. Jackson would do --- "It's BAD enough that I've had to be the token black man for this team, but I haven't even been NEAR Black Canary's booty! HOW could I be Green Arrow and NOT a chance to work with that sweet, sweet Black Canary... and why is blondie even called "Black Canary"- not that she's not fine, but SHE'S NOT BLACK-- I'm Black-- I'm Black, and I'm ANGRY!!"
I would also note that John is one the few DC comic African-American heroes that doesn't have "Black" in his hero monicker *ex. Black Lightning, Black Vulcan, Black Eagle, Black Racer, the Black Spider, Blackwing* ok, well, this is a bit of an exaggeration... there's also Bronze Tiger.
*see a List of Black Superheroes here... it really is an exaggeration, but these are some of the more well known*
This picture was just too funny not to comment on.
Thanks Nerdy Bird.
