Marc Guggenheim Shares Green Lantern-Like John Diggle Concept Art

In this week’s edition of Marc Guggenheim‘s excellent LegalDispatch Substack newsletter, the Arrowverse master planner was asked how close Arrow was able to get to making John Diggle (David Ramsey) a Green Lantern. Marc gave an answer and also provided some fantastic designs from Costume Designer Brie Thorpe and Illustrator Keith Lau.

“Unfortunately, we never got the approval to go full ‘Green Lantern’ with Diggle, but we were always trying to push the envelope as much as possible. For example, check out the proposed Season 8 costume for Dig that we weren’t able to slip past the powers that be,” Guggenheim shared, with the following images which go a lot more blatantly Green Lantern with it. When the first of the two sketches didn’t go, they tried again, and were shot down again. While this isn’t what we ultimately got for Spartan in Arrow Season 8, it’s a fantastic look into what might have been.
