12 Iconic Story-Lines DC Film Universe Must Adapt Next

8. Circle Of Fire

Warner Bros already tried to bring Green Lantern to the screen a few years ago and, by all accounts, it was a colossal failure. Ryan Reynolds was good casting as the brash, hot-headed but irritatingly charming test pilot Hal Jordan, who discovers a crashed alien ship and is enlisted into the Green Lantern intergalactic police force. But besides that? The film was a mess, with the character's signature super power €“ a ring that produces anything the wearer can imagine €“ rarely being used effectively. Hopefully the visual effects teams and screenwriters have learned their lesson from that mistake, since the DC Cinematic Universe is going to see another attempt at a Green Lantern movie on June 19, 2020. The character has yet to be cast, but considering the amount of characters to wield the Green Lantern name, there's a lot of comics to work with. Best of all would be Kyle Rayner, the younger, more naïve Lantern who took over from Jordan. His trial by fire came in the, um, Circle Of Fire story arc, where he really came into his own as the Green Lantern. Kyle leads the assembled Corps against new baddie Oblivion, only to realise that the villain is of his own creation €“ a repressed memory from his subconscious made real by the ring. An epic superhero story grounded in real human emotions.
