#Red lantern corps movie#
Personally, I hope that if Atrocitus makes it into a movie that he’ll bring the death cat himself, Dex-Starr, along with him.Geoff Johns originally hails from Detroit, Michigan. The Red Lantern Corps is headed by Atrocitus, one of the Five Inversions who survived the massacre of Sector 666. What’s more is that Atrocitus’ sad backstory would translate well to screens and give audiences a villain with a reason to be vengeful. The bigger picture is that Atrocitus and the Red Lanterns would help steer the GLC movie away from the 2011 film in the eyes of mainstream audiences by getting away from Paralax and Sinestro. What’s a hero without a villain? It so happens that this villain was created by Johns, so there’s that. Their power is derived from the emotional spectrum, particularly the Red Light of Rage. On that note, JL #31 has already sold for $125 this year.įINAL CRISIS: RAGE OF THE RED LANTERNS #1 The Red Lantern Corps are a major villainous organization, functioning as anti-heroes throughout much of the DC universe and they were enemies of the Green Lantern Corps. Clearly, DC wants fans to get acquainted with her, and it would make sense for her to be a prominent character in a GLC movie. She is a featured character in Cartoon Network’s DC Super Hero Girls, and she’s part of this year’s DC animated movie, Justice League Versus the Fatal Five. One of the newer faces in the Corps, Jessica Cruz is being thrust into the mainstream lately. His backstory of being the one lantern to not only know fear but have the ability to overcome it after his mother died would translate well onto movie screens. He’s the heart and soul of the Lanterns and was the embodiment of the Corps when he was infused with Ion. It’s hard to imagine a GLC movie without Kyle Rayner. I see the capacity for a scene-stealing role for Guy Gardner, and you’ll want his debut before that time comes. In the comics, we’ve seen him join the Red Lanterns at one point, and his character has evolved into a true hero. Mainstream audiences should love him since he’s basically a cross between two of the most popular Guardians of the Galaxy, Rocket and Starlord, but with anger management issues. I’ve written before, and I’ll write it again – Guy Gardner could very well be the breakout star of a Green Lantern Corps movie. Not only that, but this issue is also the second appearance of Guy Gardner, who first appeared in…

Picking up John Stewart’s first appearance isn’t much of a gamble since he’s the second-most popular Green Lantern next to Hal Jordan. This premise makes sense for the Green Lantern Corps after all, they are space cops. Reportedly, John Stewart would be the rookie while an older Hal Jordan would be his grizzled mentor. The word is that Johns wants GLC to be a buddy-cop movie in the tradition of Lethal Weapon. With the DCEU picking up the pace lately with hits Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Shazam, a quality GLC movie could be a huge boon for the company.Īll that being said, it’s time to play a round of comic speculation just in case DC finally gets the lead out and puts this project together. If done properly, Green Lantern could rival or exceed Guardians of the Galaxy. Ever since I read Johns’ very mature Green Lantern run from the 2000s, I’ve thought GL would make for great cinema.
