I don't think it matters. We can easily justify any new Green Lanterns if anybody wants to join, and just make it so they came before Hal. Just like having Wally West as Kid Flash, and not The Flash, doesn't limit stories for people who want to tell it in the era when Wally is The Flash (yes, I know about that ). Or Supergirl being young and new, instead of Power Girl style, for example. I say we just work with whatever people want to do. And whoever gets first dibs can guide the story for that character.
To try and keep track, by the way, am I correct in assuming we currently have:
Green Arrow
Supergirl
Kid Flash
Batman
Barbara Gordon (not yet Batgirl?)
Mad Hatter
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
Green Lantern (Alan Scott)
Plastic Man
Deathstroke
as taken characters? Any I miss?
