Green Lantern: The Motion Picture

This movie is looking amazing.

I'm not a fan of all the redesigns they did on the Corps to make them look "more alien" but ******* that banner does look impressive.

Cute, but Batman isnt the one he needs to worry about.
Ever read this issue?
Only Batmans last minute intervention saves Hal's life.

Miller is a hack. It was so bad that the All-Star Batman and Robin was suddenly made to be "another Earth" instead of canon like the All-Star Superman by Morrison was allowed to be. Literally if you read the book, it's fun but definitely paints everyone in the DC Universe outside of Batman as practically retarded. The Superman jabs really made me laugh. He didn't even finish out his hackjob.

Spoilers: Take them with a gallon of salt because they can't be fully verified but if they are true this film definitely pays homage to a lot of stuff from the comics.

Spoiler

Some guy on SHH! gave some spoilers but didn't give a source...
-The Star Sapphire crystal will appear.

-There's a reference to "the prophecy" in the Book of Oa. Probably refering to the war between the Green Lantern Corps and the Sinestro Corps.

-The ring speaks. When Hal first uses it, it says "Voice signature identified. Willpower registed. Ring online."

-Kilowog's power ring makes a cannon-like "BOOM" sound, like in the comic books.

-Hal's constructs include a gattling gun, a giant green hand, a dune buggy, an anti-aircraft gun, a F-18 jet, a sword, giant pulleys and much more.

-Sinestro's trademark weapon is a double-edged Korugarian spear. He also makes a construct of Kilowog at one point.

-The Guardians live in high towers near the Great Hall of Oa. Krona's tower is slightly toppled as a sign of his corruption at Parallax's hands.

-During a battle scene, Hal's and Sinestro's power ring run out of energy, and Sinestro tells Hal to summon his battery from the pocket dimension. Hal says he doesn't know how to do it, and Sinestro asks him if Kilowog never taught him that. Hal says no and Sinestro gruffs before him and Hal unite their rings, opening a small wormhole from where Sinestro pulls his battery. Him and Hal both recharge on it. This is taken almost word-by-word from Geoff Johns' "Secret Origin.

-During the final battle, Parallax tries to possess Hal, but fails. In the process, Hal has a vision of the future, where Coast City has been destroyed and he is the one to blame.

-Hector Hammond tries to steal Hal Jordan's power ring, believing that it can cure his mutation, just as Parallax arrives. It consumes Hammond and tries to use the ring's energy, but fails and then tries to use Hal as a weapon to tap into the nearly unlimited powers of the Green Light of Willpower.

I'm getting more and more excited about this movie. I decided to do some research on Wikipedia and added some GL books to my wishlist.

 

[The Mike]

Pick up Emerald Dawn I & II and the Secret Origins TPB and you've got the basic GL storyline right there.

To The Mike you must listen. I had the same question long ago and was given the same advice. Since then Blackest Night and Brightest Day....

 

[Agent0028]

Thanks for the tip, I'll go search them out.

 

[The Mike]

Brightest Day was a supreme letdown but I recommend the Sinestro Corps War TPB, Rage of the Red Lanterns TPB and Agent Orange TPB before Blackest Night especially since the TPB for BN will be by title not story order. After that skip BD and head into War of the Green Lanterns issue by issue it has been surprisingly good considering the low amount of hype around it

 

[Agent0028]

Thanks. Most of those are what I have on the Amazon wishlist. I'm excited to get into it, I just want to get a little more caught up with some others before I dive into GL.
