The Nerdist article reports that Nathan Fillion revealed he is basing his upcoming live-action portrayal of Guy Gardner/Green Lantern in James Gunn's

Speaking on Michael Rosenbaum's "Inside of You" podcast, Fillion explained he's aiming for Dorothy's "put-upon," "exasperated," "eye-rolling," and "no-nonsense" comedic style, seeing her as a funny "straight man" rather than just a hothead, which is how Guy Gardner is often depicted.

Interestingly, Fillion also shared that he previously based his voice performances of Superman in animated projects on all four Golden Girls, drawing on Sophia's crustiness and wisdom, Rose's naivety and sweetness, Blanche's rascal nature, and Dorothy's role as the straight man trying to make sense of it all. He felt this approach gave Superman more dimension than simply being "a good guy."
