BvS Which Green Lantern should be used? - Part 1

[Llama_Shepherd]

They would know that a black one was different from the white one that sucked in that movie that sucked.

You mean that film no-one saw?

On the bright side, hopefully WB will make an Earth 2 film and that will have Alan "GOAT" Scott.

Do people seriously think Hal Jordan was the problem with that movie lol...?

It's the very concept of Green Lantern. The GA doesn't give a **** which GL is used in the movies. It is going to be an uphill battle regardless of whichever Green Lantern they decide to use. Fact.

Hello SHH! Its been a while since Ive post something. Mainly due to my recent project of writing a Green Lantern script. So this post may come out of left field, but since I've been writing my own script for the hero, I also decided to do my own manip. So here is my adaptation of HAL JORDAN as the EMERALD KNIGHT.

I personally believe Jake Gyllenhaal is the perfect candidate for GL because he is a versatile actor and could easily blend comedy and drama. Besides I think he can pull off that Han Solo vibe that I would want to see from Hal Jordan, be a total bad-ass, and keep the seriousness of the film.

Let me know what you think? and maybe this could be one small step to fulfilling my dream of making a EXCELLENT Green Lantern film.

Post Note:
- I do have Sinestro casted, should I also do a manip of him?

TILL NEXT TIME!

[Rorschach2012]

that's the best GL manip I've seen in a long time, very professional work

Your manip brings up some interesting topics regarding the costume...
Should they do the mask? The glowing green eyes/John Stewart approach works, but the mask is also iconic and it can be done well. There's no need for Hal to wear a mask when he's away from earth though.

I don't like the idea of the entire suit being different shades of green. the black and green should contrast on the suit, that's what makes his look imo, that contrast.
Aside from the awful mask area, this early concept art from Green Lantern 2011 is sort of how I imagine Green Lantern looking in Snyder's universe:

Jake Gyllenhaal would be a fantastic choice for Hal Jordan. I think he could've also made a good Batman.. I also think I'm the only person that liked Prince of Persia and thought that Jake Gyllenhaal was good in the role. Gyllenhaal is a highly respected actor, it'd be a very wise move for WB to acquire someone like Gyllenhaal for this movie.

It'd never happen, but I'd be ecstatic if they got Jake Gyllenhaal for Hal and Ryan Gosling as Barry Allen.

 

[I Am The Knight]

That concept art is so much better than the CGI crap they decided to go with. Ugh.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Neil Blomkamp is perfect for a Snyder-ized Green Lantern solo. I can even see that concept art fitting perfectly in one of his existing movies

 

[Lantern Venom]

Prepare to be disappointed, buddy. It's going to be Hal. Deal with it.

If the plan for the Flash/GL team-up film is accurate, then that cements Hal. Barry and Hal are one of the most, if not the most, iconic bromance in comics.

I'm still holding out hope for Kyle. That's not based on anything logical, but only simple passion as a complete Kyle mark.

 

[The Endless]

Gyllenhaal would be better for Kyle i think.

But i want him for Dr Strange.

Rebooting Green Lantern
1.Make Coast City a Space city:I have often heard people whine about the earth scenes in GL movie but can you really blame them.Fact is tht Gls civilian life is earth based and important members of his civilian life like his love interest,best friend are earth based.You cant simply brush them aside as they are an important part of Gls life and neglecting them is taking away the human out of GL.As long as Green lanterns civilian life is based on earth there should be earth scenes.

Solution?Move Hls civilian life away from Earth.

Heres how Id do it .Id have Coast city be a human city in Space-to be precise a Space station.That permanently eliminates any need for earth scenes and allows Green lanterns role as a space cop and Coast city hero intersect perfectly-his coast city adventures and space adventures will blend together as being one and the same and there'd be no need to neglect his human life

Obviously Hals job as a Test-pilot would have to change.I say make him a Space pilot

2.Western Flavor:Even though many call GL a space cop,a space ranger is a more apt description of who he is.The western genre has many ranger heroes-so I think GL cld do with some inpiration from westerns.

Make Sector 2814 a lawless town with outlaws running around the place.GL is the new sherriff in town to bring this outlaws to justice.

3.Powers:Constructs are lame.There I said it.Limit Gls powers to energy,freezing beams,forcefields,flight.


So in short heres my premise.
Deep in sector 2814,is a floating space station known as Engine city.It was created by Hank henshaw as a home for humans in space.This city has frequent contact with the various alien life in neighbouringplanets.

Unfortunately sector 2814 is a lawless region,Galactic outlaws run amok here.Engine city and other Alien cities suffer b/c of this.

Oa is currently wrapped in a deep war .Only one Lantern is able to come to sector 2814 help-The Legendary Abin sur. Unfortunately he gets killed just as he arrives in the sector leading him to choose a new Lantern.

That Lantern is Hal Jordan.A Reckless,Brave,Noble Space pilot from Engine city.Its is now his job to help all the cities in Sector 2814 human or otherwise-until reinforcements form OA can save the sector

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

If Hal (or any of the others) is not living on Earth it defeats the point. You may as well do an Abin Sur/Soranik Natu film.

 

[Maze]

Cool ideas overall Zionite ( even if i don't know if we need that much change to the mythos, but why not)

As for the constructs : i say that the overuse of huge outlandish construct is lame.

The battery of energy like we know has limits. Will power should ask much more energy when one wants to play too much with the ring. Hal could like to show off, then realise that he should just concentrate on getting the job done with efficient simple constructs ( like you said energy, freezing beams, forcefields, flight. dagger for example, could still be cool in my book. )

Prepare to be disappointed, buddy. It's going to be Hal. Deal with it.

I'm pleased to hear that I am your "buddy", and I would be more amused than disappointed. All the same, I am unsure why you routinely declare that Hal is an inevitability. I think I remember you once announcing that the decision had been made, without the support of any evidence.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

As long as it's not the Hal from that poor film I can deal with the character being used but I don't see how anyone can say Hal being used is inevitable without any proof. That declaration is silly at this point.

I'd say there is more reason to believe that Hal won't be used, I mean no other Green Lantern starred in an infamous recent disastrously received mega bomb. Surely no studio would consider distancing themselves from that film by using another Lantern.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

I don't see how Hal is the front runner. There's been more rumors suggesting John. The Rock, Chadwick.

Really ?

Characters having personalities close to Hal that have got success in recently released movies - Star Lord in GOTG, James T. Kirk in Rebooted Star Trek and Hans Solo himself is making a return in JJ Abram's Star Wars.


Just the time for WB/DC to think , No Hal Jordan is a terrible character, it would never work.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Maybe WB wants to be different?

I don't get the Han/Hal comparison. I've read a couple GL books and I don't see it.

Hated GL: Secret Origins. Hal was a major *****e in the first chapter.

I always like how in the JLTAS, John was the one who grounded JL. He was always saying how they were accountable for their actions and weren't above.

 

[metaphysician]

While I actually like the idea of "Space City", I cannot imagine for a second such fitting into the world as shown in MoS. Its just too divergent from the "real world unless noted" premise. Even if they started exploiting alien tech salvaged from after Zod's attack, it beggars belief they could have an actual space *city* up and running a mere year or so later.

( Before anyone mentions "Wonder Woman" as a counter argument, not that the Amazons are a *secret* society. A giant space city floating in orbit populated by people like Hal Jordan is not secret. )

 

[regwec]

What about the space city that we saw on Krypton?

Just watch the Green Lantern The Animated series which shows true Hal Jordan.

Hals stories take place offworld.Having him based in a Spaceship doesnt contradict that.In fact the GL animated series was based on this idea.

You raise a good piont.
However there is a simple way around this.

1 make the MOSverse earth technology quite advanced in space travel.Not Krypton advanced off course.Just 50 years more advanced.Just Advanced enough that a Space-station is possible.
Nothing in MOS contradicts this-theres no Earth Spaceships seen in MOS.

2.Space city is launched before MOS
3Have the Space city be faraway from Earth.That excuses why we dint see it in MOS.

Still sucks that they canceled that show.

 

[Rorschach2012]

it'll be the new 52 lineup + maybe shazam

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Just watch the Green Lantern The Animated series which shows true Hal Jordan.

Is that on Netflix?

I know I saw the pilot like online and I thought it was good.

 

[dnno1]

If Coast City were in space it wouldn't be called "Coast City". Furthermore, that would be a little too futuristic.
