FCBD includes some dark offerings, and it's strange how Hal Jordan is not considered for certain stories

Superhero Hype announced what DC, in example, is offering for Free Comic Book Day, including one dark item and another that omits a certain notable Green Lantern from the Silver Age:
This Absolute Universe story will be written by Jeff Lemire, with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Stefano Nesi. Set in this particularly dark DC alternate reality, the story will center around a gathering evil. [M]eanwhile, a mysterious figure with unclear intentions reveals an interest in the new Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman of this reality. [...]It's appalling they continue to perpetuate the culture of darkness, and while I think Guy Gardner's got potential as a character if written well, it's becoming laughable at this point how GLs like him are being cast in these stories instead of Hal Jordan. The choice reeks of editorial mandate, and it's regrettable how Hal continues to be marginalized. All that aside, I wouldn't be fooled into taking home the items from DC/Marvel as they stand today, and hope there's independent publishers with something better to offer, and that includes stuff that's more optimistic.
In addition to the DC All-In/Absolute Universe special, DC is offering two books aimed at young readers. The first is a special Free Comic Book Day preview of Superman’s Good Guy Gang. The new graphic novel, aimed at early readers ages 5-7, features a script and art by Rob Justus. The story will find a young Superman trying to form a team with Hawkgirl and the Green Lantern Guy Gardner. The full book goes on sale July 1, 2025.
