Green Lantern Reboot set to feature Hal Jordan and John Stewart

Can we please also get Martian Manhunter in the Justice League movie? Please?

Also, white lantern ring needs to happen at some point in the JL series, as well as Flash using speedforce.
 
I like the idea of focusing on more of the Lanterns vs just Hal or someone else. The whole reason Green Lantern jumped up to one of DC's premiere comic franchises is because Green Lantern: Rebirth put back forth the focus on the Corps as a whole.
 
I'm down for space buddy cop/military movie. Curious as to who will be the GL for Justice League, probably Stewart.

WTB Sinestro corps war.

edit: No Alan fans eh :(.
 
nah, fuck bubbles and ray beams. We need some imagination, especially dealing with the cosmic scene. Bruce Timm is too simplistic.




Geoff Johns can go in the bushes

It's funny that Sinestro is far and away the most creative Lantern in the entire DCAU.

Just love that everyone realized the implications and were shocked. But Guy was like "Umm tell'em"

Bring Mark Strong back.

One of the best castings in a dc movie in a long time

Hopefully in some future justice league movie, Batman punches guy gardner.

Part of me was like "yes but no Guy Gardner .... BUT you can't have hal+john without guy ....." but your post made me acept a movie guy gardner

Will drop pants for Sony.
Mark Strong was great casting, they should bring him back, maybe as Martian manhunter or something.
 
Yeah, I'm down for some space cop shenanigans. Doubt they'll go full buddy cop movie on us, but having two (or three!) primary leads is a solid idea.

Idea: have Stewart as the new lantern, given the full origin story treatment. Hal's actually been a Lantern for a while now, but he hasn't been back to Earth since he got taken to Oa to take the oath. The reason why they're recruiting a new Lantern for Hal's sector is because it's becoming increasingly apparent that Earth is going to need some full-time attention, after Hal couldn't get there in time to deal with Zod.

EDIT: And hell yes to bringing back Mark Strong. Just straight up say "he was amazing, we're bringing him back, no, the old movie is still being abandoned."

Heck, let's bring the Star Sapphire Corps too

I want this to lead to a Sinestro Corps War so badly. I want all the colors in play and I want scenes with Superman and Batman with rings. Blue and Yellow respectively. Either in the GL films if this whole universe takes off or Justice League 3 and 4.

I could see the Lantern Corps having recruited from Earth before but not employing them there because it lacked global threats before Zod and crew.

alan's great, but he's a different era of lantern

did they ever retcon his lantern to fit in with the Corps?

Nah, he derives his power from the Earth currently. Would be neato if there was an easter egg of him in the movie like his cloak.

At one point it was based off the starheart which the guardians sent through space.

Title should have been Guy Gardner and others in GL movie!

But it's an interesting direction

Wonder if Kyle will also be around

I believe he's referring to Arisia, a kitty pride ripoff new green lantern recruit who was fourteen in earth years (lol) and who wanted to get with Hal so bad she willed her ring to age her body up.

Hal had no problem with hitting that.

"And I have to show them I'm not a child molester!"

Somebody thought it was a good idea to have those words come out of Hal Jordan's mouth, and further thought it was a good idea to put him in that situation in the first place.

Us Kyle fans will never have our day in the sun. If a GL movie comes out with Hal, John, Guy and no Kyle, I'm going to lose my fuckin mind.

I vote for Guy and Kyle myself.

Hal is boring and let's face it, John will be the stereotypical black army guy. I'll give them points if they can make him anything but an army dude. I remember once upon a time one African American comic fan wrote in and thanked the folks doing the comic for making him a building designer because the whole back guy being in the military was even back then cliche as fuck.

And yeah Kyle use to make all sorts of things with his ring. It was his run that really built upon what the the ring could do and since then most GL comics have had greater designs used. If you see someone using only a straight beam of line it means they're not terribly creative.

Matt Damon for Guy Gardner, Idris Elba for John Stewart... and I can't think of an actor boring enough to play Hal Jordan.

Back in JLU wasn't he a... military architect or something...? Man, I can't even remember
 
Since they going to do dark and gritty, are the GLs going to arrest Hal for messing with that little girl?

arisia was your sister wasn't she?

Two guys are super psyched right now

Kyle fans are so delusional.

Pre-crisis. Didn't happen. Although I must say the writer at the time ( I think it was Denny o'Neil) was REALLY going out of his way to hook Hal up with a ten eager without it looking creepy.

Not before Hal and John fans you don't.

In JLU he was just a marine. In the comics he was an architect, but after JLU they eventually made it so that he had been in the Marines and then got out and became an architect.

They could structure this like the Men In Black movie (hey, it's going to involve aliens anyway), with Hal as K and Jon as J - play up the respect for the veteran training the new guy on the job who gets to be the audience surrogate.

If they include Guy, I keep imagining the guy who played Stifler in the American Pie movies playing him. Same Siniestro, and we're off to a good start cast-wise.

If they want to tie it with MoS and BvS, just say Hal was away on space business or something.
