    Green Lantern Movie: Anyone Can Be Chosen Poster



    Maybe in Kyle's case, which makes him heroic for rising to the challenge, but the rest are chosen by the rings for their ability to overcome fear aren't they?

            Maybe the take is that Hal doesn't REALIZE (at first) that he is so ultimately
            fearless...until he's pushed into the situation by the Oa Guardian dudes.

              Or maybe it implies that there *could* be a hero in all of us.

                I seriously doubt that I could be chosen, so that poster is an outright lie!

                  Don't really care what the poster says if they get it right on the film. Besides Johns has retconned it into being about conquering fear, which goes into the will power thing.

                  I remember reading somewhere as a kid that GLs were supposed to be brave, honest and fearless, but I checked out Showcase 22 in the GL Archives and all it mentioned was fearless.

                  The rings also protected their bearer from harm, according to an early JLA issue, maybe No. 2, but of course that didn't sync up with Abin Sur and the origin story.

                  I'm hoping the film depicts how Sur is mortally wounded.

                  ++++++++++POSSIBLE SPOILER+++++++++++++++++++


                  I read that the screen play actually opens with Hal already as GL and then flashes back to the origin. Don't know if that's true or if it will stick.

                  It would be a good way to get the GL stuff up and going early in the film, but would have to be deftly handled to not be confusing.

                    Most certainly.

                      Cool poster. Just using the iconic Lantern symbol. Nice.

                        It's a teaser guys. Just like the oath posters with the actors pics in the GL symbol.

                        I took it as "you could be the next GL", that is if you're totally without fear.

                        Heck, Guy Gardner almost got chosen, and he is a complete tool.

                          guy wasn't a tool before his accident in GL 125. But it took dematius to make the tool'ness endearing

                            ^Yeah, I know. He was a good guy...like very non-villain in the Silver Age DCU. But I thought it was funnier the way I said it.

                              Gardner was originally a school-teacher, right? What ever happened to that?
