One easy method to mimicking this look is to wear a body sculpting undershirt available online. It fits the torso very tightly defining one's muscle pattern. This in turn is topped with a Kelly green colored leotard with a high neck and the same colored tights. The Lycra fabric allows the torso muscles to be clearly viewed.
The character wears high boots that can be black or greenish. The basic neon green rubber boots available in discount stores would look quite effective. A more refined version is available on Amazon where there are a variety of spade-age Gothic looks to choose from.
People who love to paint may choose to draw the mask around their eyes. This is less cumbersome to wear than a face mask. The equipment needed to paint can be found in a craft's store. The body paint colors of black, white and kelly green are all that is needed.
It is helpful to keep an image of the mask nearby to refer to often. This can also be put up on a second computer monitor. It is important to use the shading technique starting off with the basic outline of the mask. Filling in the bare skin area with the green first and shading with the black. White is used for accents.

Place the piece of foamies in a preheated 250 degree F. Oven. It can be put straight on the rack.
Once it is drooping remove the piece from the oven and place over a hard plastic Batman mask. Place a duplicate Batman mask over the foamies and press for a few minutes. Use a black Sharpie pen to race the eye-holes. Remove the Foamies and trim around the eye area. Using spirit gum put a few dabs onto the skin and place the mask over it.
The Green Lantern movie outfit also features a ring. This can be purchased from a large chain toy store. For the do it yourself person the ring can be made from wax, wood or even cardboard. A template of the ring can be made first and traced onto cardboard. Once that is cut out it can be bent, glued, and spray painted green.
