Austin Texas Is Green Lantern

Green Lantern has vacated his home in Coast City to be the official hero for Austin, Texas. The cities news site, KAXN, is reporting that Mayor Lee Leffingwell has cited the town as 'Green Lantern'.

In past public statements for New York, Chicago and Los Angeles those cities were named as Superman, Batman, and The Flash so its only fitting that another large American city takes the mantle of the Emerald Warrior to complete the big four of DC Comics'. 

Mayor Leffingwell had this to say about the decision on choosing Green Lantern:

"Austin is the Green Lantern," said Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell. "We are a city without fear. We are a city that can create anything we can visualize, through sheer force of will. We are a city with a special charge to shine a light into the darkness and lead the way to a new and better day."
