"Yeah.  Failed all the way to the bank."

Well, this month, yeah, but let's see how they're doing in December.  Maybe they'll be doing great, maybe not.  Just saying a week or two in is too soon to judge.  And there are what I think are valid concerns that DC basically blew its wad in a single month.  So what do they do for an encore?

"I get the feeling that some posters want this to fail.  If so, that's just sad."

Why?  If someone is strongly opposed to what DC's doing (or how they're doing it), why would they want it to succeed?

Haven't read the issue and, let's be real, I won't, but "cocky and
impulsive" don't really jibe with how I see GL especially so much so
that Batman has to "rein him in".

Okay guys. I am officially locking down this thread. The main reason it was started was to discuss the pros and cons of a relaunch. Now that the actual books have been released it is becoming more or less a review thread. Keeping with forum rules we keep all discussions of new comics in the weekly new comics thread. I encourage you to take these debates and reviews over into this weeks (and future weeks) thread. That way you can promote your love/hate/indifference of these titles and any other current books in the proper setting. The new comics thread should be more than a listing of what you read. They should have some nice spoiler-free reviews and discussions. Please feel welcome to do so.
