Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities GREEN LANTERN

I am interested to see who would play Hal/ GL if the Green Lantern movie ever sees the light of day. Speculation? As for me, I am not sure who should but I know who should NOT-Matthew McConaughey.

Whoever is chosen, I hope they stick to the latest trend of choosing someone based first and foremost on acting talent. There were rumors of Ryan Gossling a little while ago, and while he certainly doesn't look the part, that's the way to go - someone known to have talent, but not someone so famous that it would be distracting.

Dennis Quaid would've been perfect years ago, but I can't think of who would be really good right now.

Just read the latest GLC that guested a Star Sapphire. Good stuff. Minor spoiler...

Lotsa green rings coming in on that last page. Could this be leading into the fracturing of the Corps that Abin was worried about and that Sinestro has been angling for?

Okay, just read the latest GL-Faces of Evil with Laira, and I am starting to have the same problem with GL as i used to have with Geoff's Flash...it's too damn good! I'm running out of superlatives to give it for writing and art, and even coloring and inking.

Look, I know we all same some problems with his Legion, everyone that writes Legion has problems at some point, there is simply TOO MUCH history to not have some problems, but Geoff's GL and Flash have been spot on for years now.

I may have not been all that interested in his GL origins, but i see where he was going. And where he is going is gonna be one helluva ride if its anything like this.


I am not going to spoil anything other than to say Hal Jordan may be the most Wanted Man in the Universe.


Great Issue.

It was a good read. But the... force-feeding of Kyle's next relationship doesn't sit well with me. Rather than have it grow out of character stories, it's been jump started with a bit of prophesy.

Rick, think any of the regular cast will put on a different uniform?

SPOILER!

For anyone who is interested, The Superman Homepage has a picture of two of the Black Lanterns (action figures), <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text"> Earth 2 Superman Kal-L and Martian Manhunter</span></span> , as well as several others. Thanks to Steve Younis, et al at THe Superman Homepage. Here \'tis.

Hey, CJ. Oddly enough, i can think of two that might change rings, given the right circumstances. John Stewart and the Doctor, i can't remember her name off the top of my head.

But, i think both of those could go blue. I think it would work for John in making him stand out from the others since he tends to get lost in the shuffle and i remember his turn on mosaic.
As for the doctor, i think it would be a nice twist on her character.

#37. Another smokin' issue with another 2 page layout good enough to be a poster! Ivan Reis ROCKS!

Yes.

Yes, Ivan does rock.

He does, indeed.

Just started picking up GLC and I have to throw in with the fans. Good stuff. As I've stated before I'm not that big of a fan of Johns. He has his occasional moments but I generally think he's overrated (I know some of you love him, I'm not trying to start any fights).

Tomasi on the other hand has me absolutely hooked and that Patrick Gleason's art is pretty... dare I say it?... stellar. So much so that I went back and bought several back-issues.

I wonder there are two more colors that are missing from the "spectrum": white and Pink!

I expect that all the lanterns will eventually have to come together to battle the Riotous Return of the Rainbow Raider, Roy G. Biv!

It's looking sort of like *Hal* will be the new Rainbow Raider. He's already been a Green, Red and Blue Lantern.

I've never been a huge GL fan, but I am mostly enjoying the various new corps and the characters populating them.

The Star Sapphire corps disturbs me most-- love as the motivating factor for what's traditionally been a villainess? Odd... but compelling. Does this corps rise above the old Sapphire's persona into something aligned with hope and willpower? Or does it fall closer to the negative Red?

I loved the artwork on Scar during the Origins & Omens part. Truly disturbing.

I haven't been reading it, but you can find out more about the Star Sapphire Corps in recent issues of "Green Lantern Corps". I hope there are some male members of the SSC - guys believe in love too ....

There is a Green Lantern animated movie due out on July 28, 2009. CBR has the info and promo images. Interesting that it does not mention Carol Ferris, though.

I didn't get the Batman (six vignettes with manga style stuff, no thanks) and haven't gotten the Wonder Woman yet, but I will since the wife and son like her.

Now, with GL getting his own movie, It should only be a matter of time for the Flash movie. And yeah, I do think that Doogie Howser himself should do the voice for Flash. He did a fantastic job in New Frontiers.

Still waiting on the real Teen Titans Judas Contract movie.

I got the Batman one, but I kinda wish I hadn't. It wasn't as Manga as a lot of stuff I hate-Dragonball Z, Pokemon and such, but I watched it once and haven't watched it since. Wish I had rented it.

As for Wonder Woman-I am not sure. Even (or especially?) at my age I feel funny buying a female super hero movie. I know, I'm being silly.

I've heard great things about the Wonder Woman movie, but haven't picked it up yet.

Batman, well, I think I liked one or two of the stories. It wasn't bad, but I feel like in a lot of anime they animators or so impressed by how pretty everything looks that there is too much "dead time". I really felt some of those would have done better with a quicker pace or less silence.

That's because almost the entire thing takes place in space.

Thanks, Drake! This looks like it could be amazing. I kinda wish they had gotten Dennis Haysbert ("Are you in good hands with Allstate?") or Michael Clarke Duncan ("The Green Mile") to do Kilowog. Maybe they'll alter Michael Madsen's voice.

So, you guys know those wacky ol' Black Lanterns?

#39-- and the full-fledged debut of the Orange Lantern, who turns out to be much more shades of gray than out-and-out villainous, as I thought this shade would be.

Making the introductory Orange Lantern a dragon-like being was a nice touch. A dragon with a reason to be angry with the Guardians of Oa. A reason that I think readers are meant to be symapthetic towards.

I hope some of these characters survive with Lantern-colors intact. I don't know about entire corps for each-- but can the genii be put back in the bottle?

Anyway, I like the elephantine Blue Lantern quite a bit-- and the Star Sapphires are the most intriguing of the corps, for me. Though we've yet to see the Indigo or Black spectral corps yet.

GLC #35-- Anyone else getting a tad impatient for the Light War/Black Lantern stuff to really begin?

Crowds of alien lanterns of whatever hue are always fun for a bit. There's some of that here. Sinestro's daughter gets a nice couple of pages-- so does Sodam Yat and his insane senatorial father. After reading Daxamites here, I can sort of see how Darkseid exploited them in the Great Darkness, if the current DCU has any relationship to that unCrisised timeline.

It shows that the creators of this and the GL title are fully invested in the story they're telling. I wish it'd hurry up just a *tad*, but otherwise, I'm enjoying it-- as are bunches of DC readers, apparently.

Lyssa Drak cameo in GLC # 35! YAY!
