Well, I did call it when I said it'd be one of the Green Lanterns. I was honestly expecting it to be Kyle, though.
But yeah, making it Alan Scott just really enforces the "we're doing this as a cheap publicity stunt" feel the whole thing has. They make a big announcement about how a 'major' character is coming out, and then it's a parallel universe version of one of the Golden Age heroes, who hadn't really been a major player in years anyway. So they've got the name-value of GL, but didn't actually pick one of the main Earth-1 Lanterns to avoid fan backlash.
