Green Lantern Movie: Anyone Can Be Chosen Poster

[samurainoir]

They also retconned Gardner as a prison counselor in one of the Emerald Dawn minis, and kind of planted seeds of his "other personality" there. I'm pretty sure this one's no longer in continuity.

Has Gardner's and Hal's ex Kari Limbo or whatever her name is, been seen since Guy's coma and brain damage?

I'm not really up on my DC characters, is Yellow still GLs weakness?

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

I believe he was a high school gym teacher. There was a one shot in the 90s called "Detention Comics" that had 3 stories, one of them was a Guy Gardner:Warrior tale where he was a substitute teacher. That was during that funky alien Warrior phase.

^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.

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

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

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

Most certainly.

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.

[cjefferys]

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

[huedell]

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.

[BlackKnight]

And have Strong Will Power, which is the Color Green is.

[The Toyroom]

Yeah it isn't just "anyone".....you have to be without fear.
