In terms of how that would be received IRL that wouldn't work because it's a green guy pretending to be black. In story terms, if we presume even a fraction of the "it sucks to be black in America" stuff is true within the DCU, it would make no sense at all for an alien shapechanger who could look like anything to choose a human disguise that would make his life harder than it needs to be.

It's weird, from around Sinestro Corps War to Blackest Night, GL was one of the big must-read DC books, Hal was on top of the world, but he's never really recovered from how badly his movie was fumbled. That Warner don't see a big future for him outside of comics has sort of impacted how much the comics are willing to push him, plus DC's general mishandling of the entire line of GL books, and writers trying to push their own new human GLs.
