Talk:Alan Scott

message: Why don't we just title this "Green Lantern (Golden Age)"?  It would be easier to search for in the database, especially for those who might not know who Alan Scott is.
:I think "Alan Scott" is fine. This is why we have a section called "Biographies of the Major Green Lanterns" in "Green Lantern" article. Lesfer ☎ 13:15, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Still, it's rather confusing.  The title works under the assumption that the character is most recognized by his secret identity (like, say, Guy Gardner).  Solely titling it "Alan Scott" makes it hard to find.  In comparison, all the articles related to Starman have modifiers at the end to indicate the articles are still talking about characters who bore the mantle of Starman.  Something along the lines of "Green Lantern (Alan Scott)" or "Green Lantern (Golden Age)"  would be more effective.  WesleyDodds 22:57, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Go back and re-read Zero Hour - Alan had already been rejuvenated to a youthful appearance before the JSA slaughter, and it was the Starheart that protected him from Extant's attempt to age him to his true age. I would like to correct that part of the article if no one objects. 12.162.189.80 19:31, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

message: In the collection of Alex Ross' art, called "Mythology" says that the "Green Knight" or just plainly, that continuum's Green Lantern is Hal Jordan, not Alan Scott as it says in this article. Also it would make sense that it's Hal Jordan, because during the time difference between the regular continuum, the character's age, and Alan Scott's Daughter is in her mid to late thirties by the time of the series, so Alan would at least be 70 during Kingdom Come, also, Alex had it set up so each character has been replaced by their children, with exception to the JLA Regulars, Aquaman remains in his kingdom while Aqualad has taken over as Aquaman, Avia has replaced Big Barda and Scott Free, There is Captain Marvel Jr. (Now King Marvel), Mary Marvel (Now Lady Marvel), and they're Child, The Whiz, representing the Marvel family while Billy is working for Luthor, and since Starfire is dead and Red Robin (Dick Grayson) hasn't returned to crime fighting yet, his daughter Nightfire (a character Alex Ross has created when he was much younger and has wanted to introduce into the DC mainstream) has taken over; so it could be entirely probable that while Alan Scott is old and Retired, his Daughter Jade and his son Obsidion has taken over and carry on his legacy.
And look at the other non-superpowered characters, they're silver age and they look like they're about to retire.
- No way is that Hal Jordan. It is absolutely clear both from context and from his appearance that the Lantern is Alan. 74.114.147.235 00:42, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

message: *merge/nom - The section that was split from original article by an ambitious editor to form a new "Alternate versions" article for all the characters.  This section was already limited, and does not need to be split off to form a stub article. It's a detriment to the original article, and at this point the alternate versions article does not need to exist. 66.109.248.114 21:25, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

message: There is an error in the article regarding the Starheart: this was not a Post-Crisis retcon, it was established in Green Lantern Vol. 2 #110 (November 1978) several years before Crisis on Infinite Earths. I'm thinking on writing an article covering the history of magic in the DC Universe that would cover the Starheart in more detail. -Wilfredo Martinez (talk) 16:30, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Evidently the CW has a new teaser for the "B" section of season 9 of Smallville up, as per Kryptonsite. (And is the actual trailer up anywhere but YouTube?)
Something to keep in mind is that the only solid information out three about JSAers other than Hawkman, Doctor Fate, and Stargirl is from a a TV Guide interview (here):
::"[William Keck (TV Guide)]: Are there references to Society members who are not seen in the episodes?
::"[Michael Shanks]: Oh yes. You’ll see a ton of references. This is a fan’s dream. Let’s say there are lots of memories and paraphernalia that people will be familiar with."
Frankly, it is possible, if not probable, that the ring and the gas-mask are pans of museum-like displays.
Is it possible that the image in the teaser are characters from later episodes in the season? Maybe. But until there is something more that a guess, the information can be left out of this article.

message: There was a line about Alan Scott being removed from the main New Earth continuity, but do we have any confirmation that this was the case? Several characters have multiverse counterparts, so I wouldn't find inspiring for the same to apply to Scott. While it may be the case that NE Alan Scott has been removed in favor of a strictly Earth 2 character, I believe that we should remain neutral on this issue until concrete evidence in produced. If there is some, then I'd be perfectly happy to add the line back. WhiteArcticWolf (talk) 22:41, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I don't have my copy handy but in STERANKO'S HISTORY OF THE COMICS VOL. ONE didn't Bill Finger mention that HE was the one who created the Alan Scott identity? Nodell created the concept but like with Batman, it was Finger who wrote the back story. He mentioned how he originally wanted tocall the character "ALAN LADD" as a play on the name ALADDIN. This was BEFORE the actor of the same name made his film debut and Bill commented that by the name change they missed out on publicity opportunities. I'm also curious if Finger received not only a byline but co-ownership as well...MARK VENTURE (talk) 14:28, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

message: The whole part about Yalan Gur is wrong here. 
Neither was he a resident of China, nor did he preceded Alan Scott as Earth first Green Lantern by several centuries. Could anyone fix it, to be correct, like the linked article is? --MasterPhW (talk) 14:00, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't earth 2 Alan Scott have a page of his own, since Alan Scott prime and the gay Alan Scott are completely different people with just the same name. After all there is no proof that a straight Alan Scott did not live on earth 2, just because there is no green lantern corps. there, nor is there any proof that a gay individual namesake of the green lantern honor guard and father of 2 does not exist in any other DC universe. The earth 2 fellow who shares the same name as the old(in comparison were Alan Scott prime alive in earth 2) Alan Scott is not the same person as him, even his powers are different(not a green lantern, just a namesake there too)
they are completely different people who just have the same names, they don't even exist in the same timeframe, it's like saying Henry the 8th is the same as Henry the 1st! (talk)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.75.34.123 (talk) 00:54, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
