Green Lantern Corps Movie: Everything You Need To Know
3. Multiple Heroes = No “Chosen One” B.S.
Hal Jordan, John Stewart and other members of the Green Lantern Corps sharing a screen comes with one big positive: with so many heroes in one movie, there won't be any "chosen one" rubbish going on.
This won't be another superhero film where one man inexplicably gains amazing abilities and eventually stops a generic baddie. Green Lantern Corps will offer something new and unique instead. By focusing on a galactic police force full of super-powered characters, DC will provide a totally different viewpoint to the standard superhero film.
This is why the "Lethal Weapon in space" thing makes perfect sense. Hal and John are two space cops working for the Corps. They are rivals, who have the same job. They have bosses that can come down on them hard if they screw up. This should create plenty of comedy and character drama, resulting in a comic book movie which has its own identity in a way that 2011's Green Lantern really didn't.
