LANTERNS Trailer Shows Cosmic Heroes in Earthbound Mystery

As a huge film fan, I’m a little puzzled by the reluctance to show much Green Lantern action. We did see Guy Gardner in action in James Gunn’s Superman, so it makes you wonder if the 2011 Ryan Reynolds movie is still casting a shadow. Honestly, it feels like it’s time to move past that! I think a darker, True Detectivestyle take on the Green Lantern mythos could be fantastic. A lot of the best Green Lantern stories aren’t even set in space – it’s about a person wielding a powerful ring and creating things with green energy, and that’s what’s so cool. Thankfully, Tom King, a fantastic comic book writer, is producing Lanterns*, so I’m really hoping he doesn’t stray too far from what makes Green Lantern great in the first place.
