Here is Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern!

[Doctor Jones]

People find the oath corny? What the hell?

I think Reynolds will make a Hal a more interesting and likeable character and inject him with much needed personality. I loved Secret Origins, but he still didn't have much personality to me. I think Reynolds and Campbell can carve out another dimension for his character. Ryan has a bag of all those traits that people love. Especially for a superhero.

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

One of my biggest fears for the movie is that people will find the oath corny.

[camp Blood]

My fear is that instead of solid energy beams it will be green fire (like what is coming out in the poster) which would be a major let down

[terry78]

My biggest fear is that he is green, and that color makes me dry heave. He should be magenta.

[cerealkiller182]

As long as the energy that comes from his green is green I dont care how they make it look.

[S.A.A.D.]

The green energy constructs should just have that jello look.

[Figs]

One of my biggest fears for the movie is that people will find the oath corny.

It's all going to come down to the delivery of the oath. Depending on how someone says it, it could either be looked at as cheesy or something honorable.

[Dark Sentinel]

My fear is that instead of solid energy beams it will be green fire (like what is coming out in the poster) which would be a major let down

I think, that since the costume itself is a light construct, the excess light flows naturally off the suit, giving it a "fiery" appearance because it isn't being focused or directed. When Hal focuses his will, that's when the light more or less "solidifies"

[Paradoxal]

Definitely. It'll depend on the context of the situation, the delivery, and even the music in the scene, if there is any.

Makes sense

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

The green energy constructs should just have that jello look.

That or ghostly.

[S.A.A.D.]

That or ghostly.

Actually,I think that the constructs should be somewhere in between both of those looks.

[Young Superman]

Hal's movie costume is not bad, but I do wish it was a little more faithful to the comic book version of Hal's costume.

[superkong 500]

^
But We havent seen the final costume yet. It will have the green and black pattern of the comic suit. As for the constructs, I imagine the way i would like them to be is like some sort of plasma that solidifies as it takes shape.

For example when Hal wishes a weapon, luminescent green plasma will pour from the ring and will take the shape of the weapon he wishes and as it does we'll see the plasma solidifying into a state similar looking to that of a lightsaber but with a glassy look. So it has that closed solid shape if you will. Imagine a green glass fist or hammer with millions of diminute green energy tendrils rippling inside

[MAN O STEEL]

I'm not a great big Lantern fan but that oath is anything but corny to me. It just sounds badass. Basically the oath says, "Do not **** with me", but worded different. What more could you want?.

Recently, I became privy to several high resolutions stills and storyboards which may be associated with Martin Campbell’s superhero adaptation Green Lantern, showcasing the film’s star, Ryan Reynolds, wearing the title character’s iconic suit. Two months ago, Entertainment Weekly revealed the first image of the star in the CGI rendered costume, which caused distress to many fans of the comic hero. Those fears of seeing a completely different suit from what they are used to in the comics will be put to rest when the first Green Lantern trailer hit theaters before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 this November; since the film version of the suit very closely resembles it’s comics counterpart. Until then, since I cannot show you the images, I will attempt to describe them to you as best possible.

* Warner Bros was contacted before this article went live in an attempt to secure the validity of these images, but their representatives refused to comment.

* Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) does not don the suit until his first trip to the planet Oa; which takes place when his power ring acknowledges his need for training after he creates his first construct on Earth.
* When the suit, which is created out of a “hard light” construct from the power ring, is in its solid form, the mask, boots, shoulders, chest, abdomen and back are a distinct, rich green, while the arms, legs and waist areas are a deep black.
* The suit has definitive lines which segregate the green and black colors.
* The glowing, green textured lines which encompass the suit fluctuate in intensity as Jordan gains more control over the power ring, which channels his willpower. The more focus he has, the less it "bleeds" energy.
* The front, green section of the suit does not extend below and around Jordan’s crotch as depicted in many of the older comic books. Instead, it ends in a sharp point at the base of his abdomen in the modern fashion.
* When flying, or traveling through space, the suit emits a faint green glow around the ring bearer. Jordan flies, of his own will, many times throughout the film.
* The ring is comprised of a solid silver band. Over its front, a translucent green attachment is centered with a jewel which visibly “flows” with energy.
* The individual power batteries each Lantern Corp member carries are much different from the comics’ versions. These are mostly comprised of the same green, translucent material which covers the power ring. The handle of the battery is squared off, and immobile. A large jewel rests at its center as well.
* An inscription around the jewel appears to be the Green Lantern Oath, which each member of the Corps must recite to charge their rings.

As for constructs, fans will be happy to know that the filmmakers have gone to great lengths to include many complex ones; aside from the basic shields, swords and power blasts which are featured as well. Though several of these may not make it into the final cut of the film, I have seen designs for a Semi truck, dune buggy, fighter jet and anti-aircraft gun.

Green Lantern is scheduled to hit theaters June 17th, 2011.

Poni is da MAN.

[GhostPoet]

On the subject of the oath, I believe there is a good way to present the oath without it sounding lame.

When Hal get's to Oa and lifts up his ring with all the other Lanters, they say the oath and Hal is like "Really? Are you kidding me?" And then right before the final battle he says it again, only he's serious this time.

No. When the ring is "out of power" there's actually enough left to maintain the costume and life support, just not enough to fight, fly, create constructs.

It's the all to common trend of making judgments based on preconceived notions and then blaming the subject for it.

Just the impression i get from the cover shot. His costume is closer to black than green, his eyes look sunken and the texture/ribbing of the suit reminds me of something I'd see at a Bodies exhibit.

I guess I'm worried DC movies are going to follow the darkness trend.

I'm talking about how some superhero movies are getting darker

[rashad]

I guess I'm worried DC movies are going to follow the darkness trend.

Get the facts before jumping to conclusions.

“It will be much more in the tone of Iron Man. It’s got to be. Certainly not Batman Begins, which is a pretty dark movie. No, he’s the Hal Jordan character who’s the sort of shoot from the hip, irresponsible kind of cocky test pilot if you will. In fact, the character seems to be the least likely to be chosen as Green Lantern. Well, of course that’s the fun of it. So no, it’ll be much more like Iron Man. So it’ll have one foot in reality if you see what I mean.” - Martin Campbell

I find myself underwhelmed by the image that's all, my concerns are hardly conclusions to what the final product will be. Unfortunately, I don't consider executive talking points very "factual.", so your link doesn't provide me with much comfort.

There's a darkness trend in superhero movies? :huh:

[DCnightwing23]

NYCC day 1 was alright, i really wasnt expecting much for green lantern, although it would be nice to get another pic/ But i think what they released around SDCC was enough until the trailer. Come on guys keep yourselves surprised!

[Hush]

shelf?

If your writing something and you think "you know what I need such and such character." Hal is sitting right there, he is a basic "badboy,yet honorable and cocky" character. He is just stiiting on the shelf, there isnt anything really unique about him.

How much of the movie is he trapped in the coffin cause that's a real test to his acting to keep you engaged even though he's just laying there in a box maybe I'll catch it on hbo

And trust me I am being honest I base my opinion on a episode of classic twilight zone called "nervous man in a 4 dollar room which has some really great acting in my opinion

[cerealkiller182]

the whole movie is supposed to be in the coffin

[Ken-Kaniff]

^^Still haven't seen Buried lol!

But to get back on topic, the GL story never appealed to me and I wouldn't care about this too much (way too many superhero movies floating lately lol!) if not for Ryan Reynold, whom I really enjoy as an actor! So I really can't wait to see how this turns out, I hope for the best!:)

The entirety of the movie is in the coffin, no shots of 911 operators. Just Reynolds in a box. I haven't been able to see it yet, but that's my understanding.

[jmc]

Yep, the whole 88 minutes is just Ryan Reynolds in a box. Quite possibly one of the most intense films I've seen in a while. Go see it if you can.

But yes, Reynolds is great in Buried, it's easily his best performance yet. That film alone has put to rest any concerns of mine.

Any chance this is a transition phase of the costume?

[JAK®]

Well every time a costume comes out that fans don't like they go "Maybe it's a transition stage" and "we'll get the REAL costume at the end of the movie", which never happens.

In THIS case, though, the costume we have is a CGI creation, and they're still in post-production. We've already seen the mask change in a different version of the image.

So I think the costume will be different. The concept (and design) will be the same but it will look different. It will be a lot more green for a start.

[Dark Sentinel]

After seeing the G'Hu action figure, I think it's a safe bet (and I believe someone mentioned this WAAAAAAY earlier in the thread) that the suits are going to mimic the musculature of their respective GLs. I actually kind of like this concept.

[misjuevos]

i think the pic of the suit is when it is first put on and is still pulsating, i think it will just be a solid color after it is done pulsating.

Mr. Condescending indeed.

Reason why I asked is I can almost make out green and black sections and I was wondering if that was all the green we were getting. I can't tell whether I like it or not from that image, but frankly there's so much leeway with GL uniforms I'm not that picky.

What's funny is how many people seem to think this is the Matrix or something where moderators naturally sense problems in any thread across the site as a course of habit.

Perhaps instead of simply complaining about the issue, actually bothering to call attention to it (like the report someone had the good sense to send) might have done some good. Shocking concept, I know.

will i get in trouble for posting a pic of the g'hu figure.

if yes then just google g'hu movie figure on google images

[echostation]

I did... no one responded... Hence my reply...

[DavidTyler]

If the G'Hu figure is any indication, the image we've been seeing of Reynolds in costume is probably in transition from Hal to GL. Not, as someone on this thread may have interpretted, GL's first costume to a later costume in the movie.


It will probably be textured as if it's muscle but, once completed, will probably have solid areas of Black and Green.

Saw that footage and my worst fear was realized it looks like the ring energy manifests as green fire, I did see him make the giant fist but it trailed green flames and he was flying surrounded by green fire so I hope that is few and far between but I am losing hope also it looked as if there gonna be a lot of reynold's humor which is a bad thing

Best thing about the footage is that we see the suit had distinct green and dark green areas forming the pattern

[Savage]

I'm curious and this seems like the best place to put this. What does everybody here find funny? I hear a lot about "Oh no. Reynolds humor." and see "cheesy jokes" thrown about a lot but I honestly don't see what's wrong with the humor in this movie. In fact I'm convinced comic book fans are humorless after spending so many years on this site.

[Chewy]

It's not that the lines are actually funny, it's Ryan Reynolds' delivery.

[camp Blood]

Like i said reynolds can be a great performer, Ive seen him do a great job acting serious but I can't remember the movie but i just remember saying how awesome his performance was

And I did here good things about him in buried and I have scene amitty and smoking aces

It's just I don't want to see van wilder in a green lantern suit and it's not even the humor that bothers me a lot it's the green fire energy I hope that's not through the whole movie

[Reel-Man]

I thought they said suit is black and green? All i see is tones of green which makes it look like a one piece.

They cast Reynolds because they think he can do cocky, funny, and hopefully heroic. I'm sure he can do cocky and funny, let's see how heroic he is.

the thing that bugs me is that the apartement shotsare clearly unfinished, while the spacey shots is far far better. I mean, to show an really unpolished shot in bright lightning as in the apartement is, in lack of a better word, foolish. I would have switched it --> show a finished or more polished shot in bright lightning and then let the space and dark shots be ones who werent really finished as to hide the unfinished-ness of them.

To be fair there has always been a tendency for fandom to negatively overreact whenever a comic book movie gets cast, trailed etc. There are already ppl on the Batman forums here(and other places) *****ing about the actresses up for the two reported roles and you know, if rumours are true, the *****ing will increase if neither character turns out to be Catwoman.

Some of the comments that I've read on here [and the other threads] are plain embarrassing and remind me why I hardly post on here anymore - truth be told, its a real chore to come onto this place nowadays whereas it used to be fun.

Simply put - some people are just whiny, impatient spoilt brats by nature and sadly, there seems to be an abundance of them on here.

Ungrateful ****'s.

Exactly.

Pretty much the reason I stay out of the Batman forums.

As someone who isn't displeased with the footage, I do sympathize with the other camp. If there was a universal praise from this footage, the one person who'd go "it's only 30 seconds, stop gushing" would be readily flamed.

There is a double standard here that many seem to be unaware of.

It was actually both Berlanti and Reynolds who mentioned the Star Wars bits.
The movie adaptation of DC Comics' Green Lantern will hit theaters next year, and the film's screenwriter Greg Berlanti wants people to know it's not going to be goofy or campy. In fact, he compares the film closer to something like Star Wars than Spider-Man or X-Men.
Fans can expect a movie that has a scope and a scale unlike anything else," the actor told Parade in a recent interview when asked about his role as Hal Jordan in the upcoming movie. I think of it as Star Wars in the DC universe. I was blown away just visiting the art department on a movie like that; they should just do a film on that. It's like a trip to an amusement park that you wished existed."

I see. Well, the potential for scope is there, and I expect them to deliver on that, but I'm talking more about memorability and impact when I mention Star Wars, which is why I wonder if Reynolds mouthing off like that isn't setting the fans up for some kind of dissapointment. Let's see how close they get, though :hal:

Actually both. You can go back to about 2005 or 2006 (http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?p=9195651&highlight=star+wars#post9195651) and find posts by fans like me making the association and how the franchise could be marketed to Star Wars and Star Trek fans. I even remember Gregory Noveck saying that at ComiCon during the year that the Sinestro Corps War was released. It was only a far gone conclusion that the studios would adopt that strategy once they saw the success of the last Star Wars trilogy and abandoned the Jack Black/Richard Smiegle comedy angle. There are many parallels amongst Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and The Green Lantern mythology, so it really isn't too much of a burden to place on any franchise like Green Lantern.

I understand the parallels my friend. I surely have made them myself in the past. I just associate Star Wars with a cultural phenomenon more than a mythology, even though it's both. Like the L word in a relationship, I don't throw around the SW comparisons very easily. But I understand the comparison, and from a myth building standpoint, they are on point.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I don't get why people were complaining about why Reynolds wasn't super serious in that preview. If they'd shut up and think for a second... it sure looks to me like the scenes are right after he discovers what the ring can do.

[The Watchman]

I have no problem whatsoever with the devil may care attitude, as long as it doesn't delve into camp, which I doubt it will, I'm good with humor, there should be humor in Hal's character. My issue is the terrible CGI. I can't fathom why they would think this would look better than practical, maybe they know something I don't, but what I do know is a movie like The Dark Knight, using minimal CGI, made quite a bit of money and garnered critical acclaim yet they went in the complete opposite direction for Green Lantern.

[storyteller]

People act like Hal Jordan is 100 serious all the time that he is incapable of having fun with a girl he is in love with or geeking out over a magical ring. He certainly doesn't seem comedic when he's probably looking at Abin's dead body. You letting ET's vo and music get in the way of common sense. Now the GL you guys are thinking of is John Stewart. He's your 100 serious lantern who typically doesn't make a lot of quips even in the company of a friend of romantic interest. But hey maybe im wrong and Hal Jordans current girlfriend isn't a chick names cowgirl.

Batman doesn't have alien comrades. Batman doesn't visit other planets. Batman doesn't create weapons made from light.

Green Lantern can't work without CGI (which looks absolutely fantastic in the higher resolution capture).

Terrible CGI in regards to the costume I gather? Cause everything else looks great. The logic behind the CGI suit seems to be that it's a construct, therefore it's not going to look like fabric or something Batman would wear. Personnally, I think it looks pretty good, and the way his musculature shows as if he were a 3D comic book charatcer is something we quite hadn't seen yet. It's like a drawing come to life.

Now, if your issue is with CGI...Well, The Dark Knight and Green Lantern couldn't be any more different. If there was one movie that CGI was made for, surely it would be Green Lantern. Also, the current biggest money maker is a rather CGI heavy movie.

[SuperDaniel]

I have a problem with the over-use of CGI in general honestly, but as for the footage, everything looked pretty good minus the CGI suit, I should have been more clear. Obviously GL is different than Batman, and sparse use of CGI is a must, but over reliance on it is lazy. They made Star Wars with practical effects, so it's far from absurd to believe that it couldn't be better intertwined. I understand the logic of the 'construct suit' but it just looks off to my eye. I want to like this movie, I'll reserve final judgment until I see the finished product, but as it stands that was my guy reaction.

[SuperDaniel]

I think we should wait until we see a more HQ version of the trailer to judge. The trailer itself is 2 mins and a half so I`m betting a lot of people are going to change their minds. I read the script and it was really good so I have faith on it. I doubt that a movie post-Avatar era that is relying so much on CG is going to look terrible.

[The Watchman]

The can if they are paid to do so, or have an intrest not to like it.

So everyone with a differing opinion is a plant from where exactly? Disney? I have every hope that this movie will succeed, but you need to realize that some have more discerning tastes than you.

I think people are saying it looks bad because there isn't crazy detail and shine but what I think they are seeing is a slight glow that washes out the fine detail at least in the suiting up "I KNOW!" scene

C'mon, in the grand scheme of things, is the fact that he doesnt have white gloves really such a heinous crime?

In terms of superficiality, what does it rate on a scale of 1 - 10? Are white gloves absolutely essential in keeping to the core integrity of the character? Are people not going to see the movie because there are no white gloves?

The lack of white gloves isnt exactly a deal breaker for me.

[Weadazoid]

Got no complaint about the gloves

THe thing I like the most is how the chest symbol morphs slowly into the final lantern symbol

The thing I dislike the most.... even in that 'great 'bad ass shot' Reynolds looks 'smarmy' LOL ... as Someone else said, a wise crack about a mint is soon to follow that expression.

Again the sadest thing is even if this is a huge sucess no possibility of any interaction with Superman or Batman at least not in the forseable future.

Thank god they dropped that idea.

Even if we never saw other heroes, something would be nice. In BB, maybe a news report in the background about a "brightly clad hero" in Metropolis. There could be plenty of stuff like that in all the movies that at least acknowledges each other.

Not saying all the movies have to interconnect. But an easter Egg or two would be nice.

I esspecially don't get how they wouldn't want to benefit from the huge success of Batman by giving some kind of connectivity.

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

It's very possible to just "ignore" the heroes during their solo movies, then just all of a sudden have the Justice League. Might actually be the best way to go, so they are not restricted to anything that might happen in a solo movie.

There are sort of two Batmen in the comics. One that runs around in Gotham swinging from a grappling hook fighting villains like The Joker and The Riddler, and one that flies around in a Batplane along with powerhouses like Superman holding his own against galaxy-destroying villains like Darkseid.

It's a testament to the character that he can be so versatile.

Liking the suit design though.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

The CGI looks pretty great, or at least solid throughout the trailer to me. The only complain I have is the "collar" of the suit needs to be different. It just goes from flesh to green... if they just make it look like it's separate, I'll have no real complaints.

hahahahahaha, no. folks were ripping the tdk suit apart from the first picture. same with the begins suit, or maybe you don't remember "teh puffy"

I didn't come across as many early protests in Batman's case.

He lost a little credibility when he said that he didn't want Green Lantern to be "Too Sci-Fi". The entire concept of Green lantern comes down to two words ..."Space Cop".

[Chris Wallace]

No kidding. How do you limit the sci-fi aspect of a story where a guy gets a cosmic ring from a dying alien?

Slightly O/T, but was Hal ever a womanizing douche in the comics?

[camp Blood]

That is the kind of a**hole fanboy that ruins it for the rest of us I am going to punch him in the gut so hard if I see him, total haymaker to the stomach he'll probably start throwing up

[lixdexia]

I didn't come across as many early protests in Batman's case.well that's not really a fair assessment then is it. i haven't heard any complaints about the new x-men movie, but i'm sure there are plenty

He lost all credibility when he mentioned Smallville.

He should shut up and go back to his room and play with his action figures

Back on topic Any idea of what parallax might look like

I'm not thrilled with the suit. It's not so much the costume as it is the CGI looks extremely bad. I realize they aren't finished, but it looked horrible in the trailer. On the other hand some of the other scenes looked great.

The CGI isnt near as bad as u say.

Ppl are getting their criticism way over the top.

But.. oh, well.. this is internet. Some ppl just like to banish things no matter what. I hate fanboys more and more everyday.

[guitarsingerguy]

The more I watch the trailer the more the suit has really grown on me. It really appears more like a second skin then something he's actually wearing.

[Octoberist]

The suit is growing on me too though I wish (nit-pick approaching) that Ryan's hair was a bit longer and parted.

[camp Blood]

I still think what people are seeing is the slight glow of the newly formed suit

I love geek stuff and I love fandom but yeah...there are some annoying traits of fanboys that I can tolerate or ignore. They're just a fickle crowd and it's easy to be fickle when you're on a computer. Talk is cheap for some of the self-righteous ones and you can't win them all.

But that's just how it is and hey, I think all of us are guilty of being bias or reactionary towards a particular project. That's what geeks do sometimes. :p

But I feel like because I know the fanboy game so well, I think I'm getting jaded in how childish or cliche fans can get. It's like they lack a self-awareness that they fall into the same circle of rants and praises again..and again...and again. Never willing to comprimsie, nor see things from a different angle. You know, LIKE IN REAL LIFE.

The first time I really, honestly got annoyed was on the slashfilm.com (I love that site!) It had an article that stated that Japan was one of the few countries where Dark Knight didn't do so well. I was thinking 'Okay, I love the movie, but whatever'. I love Japan regardless.

OMG, I've never, ever seen so much HATEFUL and RACIST comments from hardcore fans of the film, dumping on the Japanese. It's just a.... movie. Luckily the author had to chime in and stop the madness, but my GOD, it was such a turn off.

[S.A.A.D.]

Were they hating on Lau?

[camp Blood]

I wonder what happens to the clothes he's wearing when he suits up

[El Payaso]

I saw the trailer and yes, the suit looks great!

[camp Blood]

If the green lantern can form anything he thinks of can he form a kryptonite cage to trap superman

[Golgo-13]

Just like the Iron Man 1 costume, the GL costume is a perfect adaption from the comics.

[Excelsior.]

I was thinking 'Okay, I love the movie, but whatever'.

Why don't you exercise this mindset against those who hate the trailer?

Behold! After many months of silence, I have returned to the Superhero Hype boards.

Since the haters can't be beaten, I'm joining the winning team.

Green Lantern: Cheap cgi effects that could have been done on my macintosh computer back in the 80's. Who are they trying to fool? I want realism! I want giant boots and fat girls with tattoos! I want Hal Jordan wearing a moustache and speaking with a French accent. I'm boycotting this film. The haters are right!

Thor: I know this isn't the place, but I'm on a roll here. What's up with that stupid hammer? It should be a piece of lego with the letter 'f' written on it. Thor isn't big enough, strong enough and doesn't eat ice cream with a wooden spoon enough for me to even consider this absolute waste of time.

Captain America: What makes him a Captain anyway? Couldn't he be Sarge America, or Office World? If he doesn't have big flapping wings on his helmet, I'm going to boycott this movie and every store that sells deodorant.

For the record, I'm excited about each of these films. If Thor NEVER wears his helmet, I'll still love the film. If Hal Jordan's costume looks like CGI... I don't care! Give me Sinestro, a good story, a witty, ass of a Hal Jordan and Blake Lively and I'm happy.

We'll never get what we want. A few Wolverine Origins may slip through the cracks, but the rest is just fine. And y'know what? Watchmen was awesome, mostly true to the comic book and reeked of passion from the Director. And it was a disappointment in the theaters.

Haters... the majority of people out there don't share your views. And what a relief that is! Or we wouldn't have gotten Heath Ledger as the Joker. And we wouldn't have gotten George Clooney as Batman... er... um... yeah...

Saw some more pics of the ring they sent out, not sure of I want one now because it's split in the back and isn't one solid ring

i really hope the cap, thor and green lantern points were sarcasm :/

-nevermind.... i just got it.... i am slow today :P

[dnno1]

I wonder what happens to the clothes he's wearing when he suits up

It's transformed into his costume or placed in a pocket dimension. It all depends on what the ring wearer wants to do with it.

[camp Blood]

I had a feeling that they dematerialize and rematerializes as the suit like you said

That's one of the things I dug about GL easiest suit up, just one little thought and it's done

So what is the scale on this thing?
