Hmmm… Parallax already in part 1 … I think we’re going to see hints of the “Green Lantern : Rebirth” storyline in this movie. I hope the “Sinestro Corps War” gets adapted in part 2 or 3.

When Hollywood starts banking big bucks on 3rd rate comic heroes like Green Latern, its a sign that comic movies are in the death throws.

Seriously, superhero fatigue has set in and all the movies are starting to look the same. Witness, for instance, the bomb that was Kick-Ass, that made the terrible mistake of looking like the bomb that was Watchmen.

Yeah, hopefully they are patient with the story arc and let things develop, that to me is the biggest problem a comic book movie can face, the film has to restrain itself from trying to cram everything into one film. It sounds like they have a plan and if they stick to it, this could be a great franchise with some great mythology to be explored.

In reply to Rodney.

Yup, that’s what I was referring to.

When younger, I used to love that fight between good supes and bad supes. Now, when I saw that like 20 yrs. later – I was delightfully ashamed of it lol.

Remember when bad supes throws all the car tires and traps clark? hahaha vintage!
And when his in the bar and flicks a peanut and destroys the mirror geeesh lol

In reply to Rodney. I always thought that film contained a mock Bizarro AND Brainiac. The ripoff Superman and the super computer were villains.

They are gonna go the route of Sinestro wanting to do cold acts to stop Parallax and Hal going against him, something the other green lanterns wouldn’t because they feared sinestro. Hal’s Humanity will stop parallax when sinestro is defeated causing him shame and hal glory and in jealousy sinestro will plot revenge and go bad (sequel). Hammond will be an aide to Parallax to finding a weakness in hal or something like that, purely complimentary.

Just my thoughts.

Well Sinestro definitely wouldn’t be a villain in this one yet. Like his earlier career as one of high ranking Green Lantern soldier. He definitely would be Hal’s mentor on this. Like Rodney always wrote in earlier blog. He wouldn’t turn to yellow side.. yet

In reply to darren j seeley.

Not quite, but I see the reference.

In Superman3 the fake Kryptonite causes Superman to go evil, and most fans consider that the closest thing to a Bizarro in the films.

It was more Bizarro-like, but Bizarro was not in the movie.

Bizarro was in Superman 3?

In reply to Anthony R. Well it looks like they are squaring up to tell the entire story since all the players are accounted for (ie Sinestro, Parralax, Abin Sur etc). I could see the first scene being the birth of fear and the origin of Parralax before getting to Abin Sur crash landing on earth. Personally I hope we get to see Oa and the central power battery and all that junk...shoudl be pretty sweet. With Parralax and Sinestro being in the film they could get into the whole "yellow" plot line and why the power rings dont work on it.

I have been wondering if in the film they will bring up green lanterns weakness, weather it be the color yellow (like the color of objects) or go old school and choose wood (as in wood products). Maybe they will make an actual weakness for him.
