Talk:Green Lantern in other media

Principal photography begins Monday, March 15, 2010

Sources within the city of New Orleans and WarnerBros have confirmed that filming on the 2011 movie has already begun, or will begin some time today. Just posting this to let someone who wants to add it to the article know. Also, I'd like to state by belief that the film should get its own article, now that official casting news has come down on almost every named character. -- FunBob —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.189.180.107 (talk) 07:48, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Removed subsections

As no one has addressed this material since it was tagged in October of 2007, the following subheads require citation work before they can return to the article:

Comics

• Marvel Comics' Nova, Quasar and Freedom Ring have all been considered similar in powers and concept to Green Lanterns. Nova being most like Hal Jordan, although many years younger, while Quasar and Freedom Ring resembled Kyle Rayner. However, it should be noted that Quasar was created fifteen years before Kyle Rayner, so this was a fallacy. The Star Brand, a concept in Marvel's "New Universe," a comics line introduced in 1986, also was thought by some to bear certain similarities to Green Lantern.
• Doctor Spectrum - There are three versions of Dr. Spectrum from three different dimensions in the Marvel Universe, none of which come from the normal Marvel continuity.
  • The version of Dr. Spectrum that had the most development was a member of the Squadron Supreme. Dr. Spectrum used to be an astronaut, adventurer and something of a playboy. On one of his space missions, he saved the life of a benevolent alien of the Skrull race. In gratitude for rescuing him, the Skrull gave Joe Ledger the Power Prism, an energy synthesizer his people had created.
  • The version of Dr. Spectrum in Supreme Power series is a rebooted version of this character. In this version, Joseph (Joe) Daniel Ledger is a Colonel in the United States Army, who perform covert operations missions. He is considered the perfect soldier: an army man who follows any and all orders and is a natural killer. Joe Ledger was the only candidate who was focused and single minded enough to be able to control the power prism found in Hyperion's space ship.
  • An evil version of Dr. Spectrum was a member of the Squadron Sinister. Although the Squadron Sinister Dr. Spectrum preceded the Squadron Supreme version in appearance, the former is considered the original as the latter was revealed to be just a copy.
• The Beacon - from Big Bang Comics.
  • Beacon of Earth A, corresponding to the 1960s version: Dr. Julia Gardner
  • Beacon of Earth B, corresponding to the 1940s version: Scott Martin
• The Green Ghost - from Invincible series.
• Green Lambkin - a funny animal version, first appearing in Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew #14, April 1983. Given his ring by the Goat-Guardians of the planet Uh-Oh, the Green Lambkin was a member of Just'a Lotta Animals, fighting evil alongside heroes such as Batmouse and Super-Squirrel on the parallel world Earth C-Minus.
• In issue #10 of Warren Ellis' Planetary, "Magic and Loss", there is a race of red-robed beings providing blue lanterns to those worthy of being "Policemen." One noble alien is selected, and a glowing blue lantern (a "mind-powered weapon") is placed within his chest. The alien, now capable of space-travel, heads to Earth where he is captured, vivisected, and has the blue lantern extracted by Dr. Randall Dowling of the Four, after having his powers nullified through the use of red-hued light. Following this, Lamplight gained the power of the lantern and joins the group Stormwatch, a multi-national superhero organization sponsored by the United Nations.

• One of the stories in Endless Nights, entitled "Dream: The Heart of a Star" introduces "Killalla of the Glow," one of five ancient Oans learning to harness the "Glow" of their sun. She meets the incarnation of her sun, Sto-Oa (meaning "The Light of Oa"), and falls in love with him, despite being the lover of Morpheus.
• Christian Walker becomes a member of the Millennium Guard, an agency similar in jurisdiction to the Green Lantern Corps, in Powers.

Television

• In the ReBoot TV series there is a group know as the Guardians. Their mission is to "mend and defend," they have Keytools, devices that are capable of almost infinite feats by just changing their configurations, thus showing a great similarity to the Power Rings. In the latest movie, the Keytool Glitch gain energy-based powers that work just like the Power Rings.
• The American sitcom Seinfeld made references to Green Lantern in three episodes: "The Barber" (November 11, 1993), "The Stand In" (Feb. 25, 1994) and "The Strong Box" (Feb. 5, 1998).

• The Green Swoosh as portrayed by Johnny Bravo. His power does not come from a ring, but instead superpowered boots.
• In the UK comedy series Coupling (2001), there is a short reference to Green Lantern and his ring in the episode "Her Best Friend's Bottom"
• In an episode of Dexter's Laboratory titled "You Vegeta-believe It!", Dexter builds a gardening tool called the Green Thumb 1, which has several functions parodying the powers of Green Lantern's power ring.
• In the Duck Dodgers episode "The Green Loontern", Duck Dodgers has his dry cleaning mixed with the Green Lanterns and joins the Green Lantern Corps.
• On the reality animated TV parody show Drawn together, Captain Hero (when he is under stress) makes a reference that he wishes that the Green Lantern were there because "he always knew how to help me relax"
• In 2007, ls:tv (Leeds Student Television, a member of the National Student Television Association) aired a short sketch series entitled "The Green Intern" in a comedy program called "Bits".

• In The Simpsons Movie, when asked by Marge about the significance of "EPA," Comic Book Guy mistakes it for the scream made by Green Lantern when thrown by Sinestro into a vat of acid. Sinestro does, in fact, throw Green Lantern into a vat of acid in a comic released shortly after the Simpsons Movie was released, and he does in fact scream "EPAAAAAAAAA!"

A source for y'all

I came across this while working on another article. It regards Brian Austin Green's desire to portray GL on the big screen. The interview at ComicBookResources can be found here. Good hunting. :) - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 16:20, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

This is irreverent to the article and not worth mentioning. Only confirmed information once an actor has actually been cast should be posted here.TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:55, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Fillion Film

The fan film has received a significant degree of attention from an array of media outlets. The quantity of articles of this film currently surpassess the number for the actual Warner Bros GL movie. This seems to reflect not a simple fan film, but a utilization of the character in a crossover capacity that was a previously unknown, thus not trivial. I am not encouraging the proliferation of fan films through the other media section(s), but this seems to meet criteria for notability. -Sharp962 (talk) 21:53, 2 June 2009 (UTC).

Zack Snyder's Justice League, Ryan Reynolds rumor

I think this is still rumor but supposedly Ryan Reynolds is in talks to do cameo in the Snyder Cut. (https://cosmicbook.news/ryan-reynolds-returning-green-lantern-snyder-cut) MoviePhan (talk) 21:14, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
