Thank God it's John Stewart and not, Baz, Cruz, Jo Checkmark or the 11 year old Bolivian kid. There was ZERO chance of us getting Hal Jordan in today's climate..but I am ALL about getting me some John Stewart love!Comment

Looks good doesn't it? Adam Strange! Rann-Thannagar war! Pretty much looks like that and using Kyle's origin to tell a becoming the hero story for John. I'm up for it.Originally posted by Space Cop View PostComment

Looks awesome! I'm definitely going to be getting this. It's the most exciting Green Lantern thing I've seen since...pffff...I don't even know.
The only thing I can say in criticism is that they probably shouldn't have used Sinestro as the villain, because now we're going to have to deal with Hal Jordan's fans mudslinging John Stewart for stealing Hal Jordan's stuff. And they're already going to be sore enough from this as is. This isn't me saying that they don't have some justification for being sore, but you just don't need that negative energy around the project.
On the other hand, I really understand the decision to go straight to Sinestro. He's easily the best GL villain, and not utilizing that was one of the biggest faults of the 2011 film. Sorry, Hector Hammond just was never going to cut it. That's not a mistake you're going to want to make twice. Ideally, it would have been nice for them to create a totally new and totally awesome threat. I'm not of the thinking that just because something was created decades and decades ago that it is just the best that can be done. Sure, it proves longevity, but I don't think it's THAT hard to create a better bad guy than Sinestro. At least, it shouldn't be for truly creative people.Comment

Surprised nobody's posted anything about this, then again it just came out. Fitting it was after Neal Adams' passing too. Movie looks good. Love Hal, but glad to see they're using John again.

As long as they treat it like another continuity / take on the character, I don't think their should be much complaining. I certainly have no issues with it, anyway.Originally posted by Star-Lantern View Post

Better than nothing, er, (Simon Baz/Jessica Cruz), I guess. But "Hal died" defending Thanagar? And yet another Guardian of the Universe dies. While in a crashed starship, no less. Somebody wanted John to have an intro more similar to Hal Jordan, rather than the comic book "minority quota" origin. So yet another alternative universe one-shot.Originally posted by Big Daddy Dave Skywalker View Post
As for Sinestro, for Thanagar it could have been any cosmic-class villain, really. Blackstar. Mongul. Weaponers of Quard.
It makes you wonder if Sinestro is supposed to be the "evil white European" aka Blofield of James Bond fame, rather than the "red man" he was in the comic books.Comment

Hopefully, but I've already seen grumblings from people about how Hal is killed off and TPTB are giving his stuff to John in this movie.Originally posted by Mister.Weirdo View Post
I think Sinestro is probably just going to be Sinestro. That said, he has already been likened to an evil white European ever since Van Sciver gave him a makeover recalling Adolf Hitler. So even if the movie does go down that road, it wouldn't even be something totally out of left field.Originally posted by jhpace1 View PostComment

I'm about as big a Hal fanboy as they get, but I'm way cool with this. Hal had an animated and live-action movie dedicated to him and an anthology with him as the frame. Bring on the other Silver-Age guys.
I didn't think of that. Guess it's not yet sinked in that we're in a post-Adams world.Originally posted by Mister.Weirdo View Post
That is nice. It would be cool if they had an RIP at the end.
That mixing is what I thought was kind of a bizarre continuity, but then every animated is a new continuity unless it's explicitly connected to another.Originally posted by jhpace1 View Post

The Tomorrowverse is its own continuity. They're pulling in and fusing different eras for this new generation of DC films. I'm just relieved that something Green Lantern-centric is finally here. Coupled with Tomar & Kilowog being used on Young Justice, it feels like GL fans will finally be getting more than just crumbs again.Originally posted by Mister.Weirdo View PostComment

What is the Tomorrowverse? I'm not up-to-date on DC's media stuff.Originally posted by Emerald Enthusiast View Post

It's the name that fans have given the post-DCAMU animated films. Man of Tomorrow began a new shared universe, hence "Tomorrowverse."Originally posted by Space Cop View PostComment
