Green Lantern and Daredevil (Vs. The Hate Monger!)

 

I'm hoping that we get a trailer for the HBO Max Lanterns series soon.  It looks like Aaron Pierre as John Stewart will be the main GL of the DCU, and I am interested to see what he will do with the role. I've only heard him speak with his actual English accent, so I am looking forward to his vocalization of the character - I still hear Phil LaMarr in my head when I see John Stewart on the printed page. 

Green Lantern and Speed Racer

 

John Stewart and Hal Jordan have both been cast for the HBO/MAX Lanterns series, filming should be underway soon.  It has been described as a True Detective-type series, but I hope that the more fantastical, space-related elements of the Green Lantern mythos aren't pushed too much into the background.  I also hope that Hal Jordan isn't killed off by the end of it, which I suspect may be the case given the age difference between the actors.

Captain America and Green Lantern in: "Crisis: Classified!"

 

Cap previously teamed with the Hal Jordan GL in STF #2862, and met the Alan Scott GL in STF #372 and then again in STF #719... I felt it was time that he shared an adventure with John Stewart (hopefully to be cast soon for James Gunn's DCU).  I'm sure they would get along with their military backgrounds, and Gil Kane on the art chores would make it a beautiful read.

Green Lantern and Big Guy & Rusty the Boy Robot

 

Hopefully the failure of The Flash won't slow down DCU properties in development like the MAX Lanterns series, but I suspect it will.  DC's already had one unsuccessful attempt to get the world of Green Lantern into live action so they really have to get it right when they try again.  Announcements on that show have gone quite, however. I'm thinking that James Gunn probably wants to make  sure that Superman: Legacy is as good as it can be before concentration on expanding the universe outward from there, which is as it should be.

Green Lantern and The Vision in: "The Mad March of Mister Universe!"

 

The last I read about the ever-changing Green Lantern show on HBO Max is that is was being retooled into a John Stewart focused series.  I don't know if that is still the case now that James Gunn and Peter Safran have been tasked with charting out a 10-year interconnected plan for the DCU.  Hopefully when everything shakes out, John, Hal and the rest of the Corps will have places of prominence.

The Vision met up with Hal Jordan in STF #607, and then with a couple of co-stars in STF #3019...

Gladiator Vs. Green Lantern

 

Well, John Diggle has been making the rounds on the remaining CW superhero shows, but he doesn't appear to be any closer to donning a power ring.  It feels like kind of a tease, the way they were building up the Arrow supporting character to become Green Lantern John Stewart.  I guess it's because DC has other plans for Stewart, whether in the movies or on HBO Max.  If that's the case, hopefully we will hear about some casting soon.

Green Lantern Corps and The Beyonder

 

I enjoyed Secret Wars and the concept of The Beyonder, but I always wonder about the decisions behind his appearance.  He's a nigh-omnipotent being and the visual we readers got was of a guy with a jheri curl in a bright white disco suit.  I mean, that look was already dated in 1984, when he was first introduced.  He was a little hard to take seriously, despite his nearly infinite powers.

Green Lantern Corps and Captain Marvel in "Get Them to the Guardians!"

 

I am hoping we get some casting news for the HBO Max Green Lantern Corps series soon.  John Stewart and Hal Jordan are being saved for the big screen, so this series will focus on Alan Scott, Guy Gardner, Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz.  I do hope they manage to get some alien GL's in there, despite a lower streaming budget. Chaselon makes everything better.

Mar-Vell previously met the GLC in STF #221...

Green Lantern Vs. Ronan

 

Hopefully the upcoming DC Fandome event will have some information on their plans for Green Lantern.  Fans have been waiting a long time to get a live action John Stewart, and they have three options that I can think of:  A big budget movie, the HBO Max GL Corps series, or as a supporting character on Superman & Lois.  Where do you think he will show up?

Gamora and Green Lantern

It will be interesting to see where that character of Gamora goes in Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3, after the events of Avengers: Endgame.  Can Star-Lord win her heart a second time?  What will her purpose be now that she has reconciled with her sister and her megalomaniac father is out of the picture?  I'm hoping we see more of her fighting skills - for such a legendary combatant, we haven't really seen her truly cut loose with those skills yet.

Godzilla Joins The Green Lantern Corps

Presenting the conclusion to our Three-Part Epic! Looks like helping out the GLC is going to be more than a one-time gig for the big guy!

I was thinking the Green Lantern ring tease for John Diggle on the last episode of Arrow might indicate David Ramsay's involvement in the Green Lantern Corps HBO Max series.  Then, they made a point of him saying that he was relocating to Metropolis - so now it seems he'll be a part of the upcoming Superman and Lois CW show.  Hopefully he'll be on one of the two, I like the actor in the role.

Coming tomorrow: STF #2900!

Green Lantern Corps and Guardians of the Galaxy

Continuing from Part One and Part Two of our story, we reach the epic conclusion!

I wonder what Rocket Racoon's relationship will be like with the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy when the third movie arrives.  Did his time without them in the five years that they were snapped out of existence change him at all?  Certainly it must have made him appreciate them more.  What was he up to the whole time?  I hope to see some of this addressed and it's not just a reset to what has gone before.

Kilowog and Rocket Raccoon

Continuing from yesterday's Part One, we see that more players have joined in on the action. 

There has been much speculation that JJ Abrams will be taking the reigns of the DCEU now that he has a huge production deal with Warner Brothers.  Most are guessing that his first film will be  a Superman project, which could be cool - but what I would really like to see is his take on The Green Lantern Corps.  Yes, he can be derivative at times, but he knows how to make a space epic look great.

Make sure you come back tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion!

Jack of Hearts and Green Lanterns

I really hope that DC can get the Green Lantern Corps movie up and running.  Like Guardians of the Galaxy for Marvel, it could be a great way to open up the DC Universe.  A movie about space cops with members from thousands of races is can't help but do so.  They could get caught up in the Rann-Thanagar War, deal with a threat from Mongul's Warworld, or investigate what happened to Mars' once thriving civilization... the possibilities are endless.

Jack of Hearts met Green lantern Hal Jordan in STF #587...

Green Lantern and Beta Ray Bill

I had figured that the third Thor film would be the last one for a while, but with the positive reaction from critics and audiences, as well as the new status quo, I'm thinking another installment is looking more likely.  Beta Ray Bill was teased in Thor: Ragnarok as one of the champion statues on the Grandmasters arena, and now I am ready for a full fledged co-starring role for him.  The work with Hulk and Korg shows that the motion capture technology is definitely there to bring him to life, all it would take is finding an actor with the right voice to portray him.

Green Lantern and Doctor Strange

Many people are speculating that there will be an appearance by one Green Lantern or another in Justice League.  If they go with a CGI alien GL, I can see that happening - but it's going to be a tougher surprise to pull off if they want to use John Stewart or Hal Jordan, who are scheduled to appear in their own film down the line.  Will they be able to cast an actor and film a scene without something leaking out?  It wouldn't be impossible, but it certainly wouldn't be easy to keep a lid on it.  

Batman & The Outsiders and Guardians of the Galaxy (And more!)

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 has released its full trailer, and I am glad that they fill it with cool shots and character moments, but do not give the whole plot away.  Even so, I am trying to remain very disciplined - I only watched the trailer once, and on a tiny little screen.  I know for sure that I will be seeing the film in the theater and I don't want to spoil too much for myself the way I have for far too many other movies.  I hear that audience preview scores have been through the roof, so I am expecting another fun night at the movies.

Batman crossed Paths with The Guardians once before, back in my B&B days...

Green Lantern and The Black Panther

Looking at the latest trailer and posters for Avengers: The Age of Ultron, I can't help but have the usual nitpick:  Captain America and Iron Man seem to spend a lot of time with their helmets ripped off (Thor didn't even bring his).  As much as I am looking forward to The Black Panther's eventual inclusion in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I'm already wondering how much of him we will see in full costume, considering the actor-concealing face-mask.  At least John Stewart wont have that worry if he is included in Justice League.  Just make his eyes glow when he uses his ring and I'll be happy!

Justice League of America Vs. Godzilla

The trailer for the new Godzilla movie has been released, and it looks very cool.  They still don't show a lot of the monster, but from the glimpses we see, it looks like the filmmakers have stuck closely to the classic design.  The special effects look to be top notch and with actors like Bryan Cranston and Elizabeth Olsen involved, I am confident the performances will be as well.  It  seems that we are finally going to have a film that makes up for the unfortunate Matthew Broderick-led Godzilla fiasco.

Justice League of America And Throg

This is a character that should just be ridiculous, but for some reason I think he is really cool.  A frog with the power of Thor? It sounds crazy, but Marvel made it work.  He's a nice reminder that you can't judge a hero by their size. I say thee ribbit!
