The hero’s most iconic images usually showed him with a bowl-shaped haircut, a face shape and an attitude that didn’t quite fit in with the most heroic figure in the DC Universe. While the comics occasionally changed up the hairstyle, the less-flattering look seemed to appeal to fans the most.

Generally speaking, each version so far has been animated to match the character’s alien origins.
It’s worth noting that the costume doesn’t appear to have any traces of aliens in recent set photos. While details may be added in post-production, just like other character realizations, the costume worn by Nathan Fillion doesn’t appear to be unfinished. Some have pointed out that the costumes could be a corporate interpretation of a superhero that is supposed to look corporate and bland, but others have suggested that they look cheap and silly.
Looking at other realities, it’s hard to tell how Hawkgirl and Green Lantern in the DCU compare to the versions of the characters that appear in the DCEU.

Mister Fantastic, Hawkgirl, and Green Lantern all have a white mark on the chest of their uniforms, with the mark’s logo looking a lot like a J and L. Additionally, images have been circulating showing that LordTech’s posters also use the same logo.

Green Lantern is a member of the Green Lantern Corps, and generally speaking, their uniforms follow a similar pattern within the organization. It’s very possible that the destruction of state-backed superheroes is taking place in the DCU. Especially considering Superman’s colorful costume, it’s possible that the events of this movie will return to more classic materials and designs. If Nathan Fillion continues to play Guy Gardner in the universe, his costume will undoubtedly change.
