Green Lantern Corps Movie: Everything You Need To Know
2. The Scope Of Possibilties Is Massive
By adding the Green Lantern mythos into their movie universe, DC aren't just bringing in green-suited heroes with cool rings and a love of willpower. As part of the package, there's also the evil Sinestro Corps who feed on fear, the rage-fuelled Red Lantern Corps, the Gollum-esque Larfeeze, the hopeful Blue Lanterns, the compassionate Indigo Tribe, the loving female corps known as the Zamarons, and the death-cheating Black Lanterns.
The 2009/2010 comic book crossover event Blackest Night proved how much can be done with his huge interconnected web of characters and corps. Therein, a human mortary assistant became a key figure in the Black Lantern Corps, killing his family and then himself before rising again as an evil entity hellbent on bringing the other colour-coded factions down and ending all life in the universe. This epic conflict featured a Batman corpse rising from the grave as well as cameos from The Flash, Aquaman, Superman, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow.
Perhaps, once the Green Lantern basics are set up within the DCEU, the powers-that-be could attempt to bring a story this ambitious to the big screen. Could Justice League 3 focus on every available hero attempting to stop the undead Black Lanterns from killing the whole universe? It would certainly be a sight to behold, and utterly unique among superhero movies.
