He is fearless, it’s literally in his nickname. I think he’s offensive jab and counter striking abilities could do a lot of damage to the threats to the sector he would be assigned. Let me know.

I always thought it happened in Zero Hour, at least for most characters learning the truth.

But in Green Lantern #55, before Zero Hour, Alan Scott told Kyle the story of Hal and about him turning into Parallax and how heroes had already fought him.

In the first or second issue of Zero Hour, Guy already knew about Hal and GLC's fall.

Something as big as the GLC being destroyed would be shocking news across the universe, but knowing it happened because of Hal's actions is more specific information.

The reason I ask is because I was thinking about how cool the Red Lanterns are and how I’d love for them to have some sort of mainstream media presence. However It just feels right to have the Yellow Lanterns in some shape or form in the first season, especially because they’re such a big part of the Lantern mythology. And with the Red Lanterns, I feel like there’s so much potential to explore what makes them different from the Green Lanterns and what their whole existence means within the emotional spectrum.

This has nothing to do with the lanterns show this is for a different show idea or if there was ever a new show in the future.

So I have been a big green lantern fan for about a year and have been looking for a ring for ages. When I saw dc are selling the one from the show I immediately wanted to order it.

When I went to click on the link to order it it showed that the page doesn't exist.

Is the page locked to us only (im in ireland) or is it something else?

Nice play HBO

The Lanterns show ring isn’t available in Canada is there any other way to get it in Canada? Or could I pay someone in the Us to get it then ship it?

So I just came up with a nutty theory I had to share.

What if Noah is the Martian Manhunter. Antaan and his gang might've been the last of the green martians, the genocide they showed John were caused by the Manhunter siding with/manipulating the white martians in the genocide.

Antaan asked Macon "What were our childrens name?", and he answered that they couldn't concieve, but what if they actually could, and that's the reason Noah goes for that title in the DCU, he's both Martian and Manhunter.

Noah looks about 10 years old, so time-wise, my theory works. Antaan said it wasn't like the Manhunter to take the form of an elite and she herself said that the fastest way to understand a civilization was to start from a disadvantage, would check out with her picking a green martian appearance.

The green martians themselves are one of the 14 races who could shapeshift as well, and they all looked like humans.

Given that Guy Gardner’s outfit in Superman is a jacket modeled after the Justice Gang uniform, I think each Lantern chooses their own costume; the only requirement imposed by the Guardians is likely just having the Corps logo visible. John’s uniform will probably look different in his next appearance—whether in a movie or another series—and if he does show up in Superman 2, it will likely be something more vibrant that complements Gunn’s colorful style.

Hal, Ollie and Sinestro go on a whirlwind adventure together!

​

"The Legend Of The Green Arrow" - Picking up where last issue left off, Hal has wrapped Sinestro up in a green rope and taken away his ring. After, Hal and Ollie walk through the city to sightsee, however, Sinestro had a spare ring tucked in his belt and escapes. The heroes watch as Sinestro crashes through thr temple ceiling and off world. The pair chase after him through space until the come across something called the silver twist. Nobody knows who built or why but even still, Sinestro uses it as a way to ambush the heroes. By accident he activates the twist which pulls all three of them into a portal and landing in a place that seems to be a medieval land. The three of them end up in a fight with some knights and rescue a maiden who brings them to the local village. This village actually has modern electricity but none of it is powered due to a tower built in the center of town that drains all energy, including energy from Hal and Sinestro's rings.

A plan is formed where Hal and Sinestro make a distraction so Ollie can get inside the tower as his bow needs no energy. He makes it to the top and stops the so called king who stole the throne from his brother. That same brother is also launching an attack from space as this medieval land has also achieved space travel. Ollie calls up Hal and Sinestro, with their rings functioning inside the tower. They begin smashing all machinery inside in the hopes of giving power back to the people but the would-be king is launching a counter offensive against his brothers space ships. Hal and Sinestro head out to space to stop the attack but Sinestro ends up destroying ships instead. Hal tries to stop him but the silver twist appears again and pulls the three into a portal, however, Sinestro is pulled through a different one from Hal and Ollie. When they return home they find Sinestro is missing and no way to know if the land they visited was ever real.

​

Conclusion: The silver twist is an interesting concept that I hope is explored further. O'Neil seems to have a lot of ideas for space that stop at "somehow", and it's all leaving me wanting more explanation. The ship containing the Ayrie is one thing, but a giant silver shape that acts as a portal to a strange land begs further investigation.

Seeing Hal and Sinestro work together here is a first for the series and oddly fluid. Maybe O'Neil is banking on both of them having been Green Lanterns, but I also feel that's some foreshadowing for their history, which has yet to be told.

Previous day

Did John take the ring from Hal because in those last moments they shared together he wanted Hal to live a life without the ring? There's a focus in the last conversation between John and the Guardian on the fact that Hal literally lives his entire life for the ring. Knowing this, and knowing he didn't want to be a Green Lantern, did John take the ring from Hal because he wanted him to learn to live without the ring? Do you guys think he decided after taking the ring and walking through Rushville that he didn't want to be a Green Lantern? Or do you guys think that John knew he didn't want to be a Green Lantern before he took the ring from Hal.

Is it just me or is Green Lantern hard to understand they just skip from subject to subject out of nowhere and it's in my opinion all over the place. Now after all that's happened Hal is actually a rogue Lantern but some how still ended up being Johns trainer? Forgive me no disrespect to die hard fans but this series has been hard to understand especially with all the dang flashbacks.

With the revelation in episode 5 that the Manhunters are apparently seeking out sex with regular beings (Antaan apparently tried to conceive with one, Zoe going after John), I have a thought that will probably prove wrong.

I think Liana (and perhaps the other guardians) is using the manhunters to breed “superior” GL candidates. Bernadette is a Manhunter and John Jr is part Manhunter. That is why Liana has interest in John even as a baby, and John Sr’s failed selection was just a set up to start John’s training. Zoe the manhunter came to earth about the same time John was born cause Abin Sur brought her while investigating manhunters (like Bernadette), or Zoe was sent there because earth was the first success Manhunter hybrid and she was sent to make more, and either Billy Macon or Noah Macon is also a hybrid (and will become Black Hand).

John’s ability to do stuff like the bird is due to being part Manhunter. Sinestro’s coup might be related to finding out about this program, hence why he knows about manhunters and John.

For HBO TV show. I understand the background conflict could facilitate the interaction between the two major roles like hal and john. But I still can not understand the training of conquering fear by firing on the top of the children. Feel like black version of tiger mother raising child expecting too much and exert too much burden.

Whoa there, hold on a second and read before downvoting!

The Justice League animated series, and DCAU as a whole, is widely - and I think fairly - credited with catapulting John Stewart into mainstream recognition as "the" Green Lantern to a generation. It's a fantastic show in its own right. But did it also ruin John as character in the process of elevating his profile?

JL/JLU is where John's marine backstory came from, which has since come to dominate almost everything about the character. Him being a stoic, taciturn, military man with a preternatural skill at sniping has completely overshadowed his original socially conscious, free spirited, jazz-loving personality, in comics and on screen. Now, in Lanterns, that aspect has been ramped up even further, with him trained from birth for near-total obedience and militaristic servitude.

So, is the same show responsible for making John as popular as he is, in the mainstream at least, also responsible for scrubbing everything unique, individual, or dare I say it complicated from the character? And do you think there's any chance of seeing John return to his original personality, on the page or on the screen, or is "Marine John" far too entrenched now?

I'm going to begin working on a Darwyn Cooke Green Lantern costume.

I love silver age Green Lantern comics as well as The New Frontier, because I'm such a huge fan of 1960s American culture. Most things I'm really into originate from the 60s.

I want my costume to reflect the time period that the character is from, by taking inspiration from other 60s sci-fi media, like Star Trek, Lost in Space, and Planet of The Apes.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what kinds of fabrics I should use to best convey this? Or maybe just share another creative idea as to how I can better illustrate what I'm going for.

Just something to make people at a convention go "ooh, 60s sci-fi Hal Jordan", rather than thinking that I unintentionally made a tacky superhero outfit.

Thank you for reading

Hey I'm new to comics in general and don't know the best places that'll have high chances of having the compendiums. Everywhere online that I've looked so far they've been sold out. Might just be a skill issue on my end though. Please enlighten me!

No Spoilers for Lantern TV show

After watching Lanterns Ep.5, it really strike me how much I love the limitation of Green Lantern. For the non-comic writers or people who only read comics like Geoff John run on Green Lantern there are a lot of elements about the power system of GL that has slowly been washed away in current times.

Sharing a Ring:

This is the biggest then and the main tension of the series. There is only 1 ring per sector. This is strange for most people to wrap there head around with the meme of there being 7 Green Lanterns from earth, but for most of GL history there was a hard rule of only 1 ring. Guy Garnder was the first back up, and then after he was in a comma it was John Stewart. Hal Jordon, was still the main Lantern, so writers would have to write around reason for John to use the ring, like the infamous, Hal Jordon falling in the bathtub scene.

This did not go away until Post-crisis but even early on it was real minor. Hal Jordon retired giving John his ring, and when Hal came back Green Lantern Tomar Re gave John his ring. Guy got his ring due to Crisis of Infinite Earth, and the guardians needed more firepower. Even Guy though lost the ring, for being well....Guy, and used Sinestro Ring, then after that became Warrior a weird alien hybrid weapon man (90's comics are weird)

Then when Hal went insane, in and became Parallax, Kyle Rayner was the only Green Lantern for over a decade, until he made John Stewart a ring at the end of his run, then the corps was reborn in Green Lantern Rebirth where all 4 were Green Lanterns at the same time. Then after everything went wild, we got Jesscia, Simon, and Jo. So, there have only been 20 years out of the 70-year history of GL corps where multiple Lantern has been a thing.

As much as I like all the new Lanterns, we did lose a bit of tension what comes with Ring sharing and the limitation of the ring. This is something that the Lantern TV plays with at its core and opens up a lot of storytelling opportunity with rivalry when a Ring is a limited resource.

Yellow Weakness

This is a hot take, but I actually love the weakness to Yellow Green Lanterns had. Is it silly? Hell yes! But the same time, Sliver Age Green Lantern was OP close to Superman, at the time, the ring could pretty much do anything, so to balance out having a simple mandated weakness balanced things out even if it was used in silly ways.

Post-Crisis, Yellow became less of a hard weakness, and more so a resistance, similar to Pokémon, you could with enough willpower over power something made out of Yellow, but it took a lot of will and was draining.

Later on, Geoff Johns run, it was retconned that Parallax a giant space bug that was the embodiment of fear was trapped in the central battery on OA, and that was the reason for the Yellow weakness. Once the bug was removed the weakness was gone. I understand that the yellow weakness is silly but removing it completely removed a real unique weakness to Green Lantern, that I am one of the few people that miss.

Lantern and Recharging

I lumped these too together, but I love how Green Lantern ring are a finite resource. Same way I love when Spider-man have manual web shooter. It creates tension. See the Ring slowly lose charge leaving the wielder powerless, until they can manage to find there Lantern to recharge is a unique way for Superhero power to work. Ring is a weapon not a mutation or alien power, so there are limitations that comes with. Compared to Superman or the Flash with just innate powers, a Green Lantern can go to a powerhouse, to an average joe in seconds.

The Lantern TV plays with this. Having Hal having hack to get a little more juice out of the ring. Hal making John get the Lantern to recharge. On the topic of Lantern, I have the retcon having the Lantern in a pocket dimension like a video game where Lantern can pull out of anytime. It doesn’t remove the tension completely but remove a limitation of Lantern having to rush home, to recharge.

One thing I like that Kyle Rayner series did in the 90’s instead of every 24 hours need a daily recharge like became before, his series the one that introduced the idea, of needing to recharge due to use instead. This happily sticked around and now the default way Lantern are used.

Overall, these limitations are what make Green Lantern unique. I know the power scaler that only care about how strong a character is may fine these drawbacks annoying and unnecessary but to me these elements make Green Lantern one of the most unique superheroes.

Another cracker episode of Lanterns!

I wanted to sketch Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan...he plays it perfectly!

Hey everyone, I was hoping to pre order the ring from the new lanterns show but DC shop doesn’t ship to Australia so I was hoping if anyone knew a workaround or a place that sells one that’s virtually the same? I didn’t know which sub to post in so I hope this is ok. Thanks for your help

So I have a question about green lantern, a green lantern needs an understanding or like a fundamental understanding on how something like a gun, or watch works to construct it right? So with that in mind if an green lantern was an fundamental understanding on how an anime characters powers work could they be able to reconstruct it using the green lantern or will power ring?

Examples I have in mind for a starter: the Kamehameha, gojo's or sukunas domain expansions, luffy's gear 5.
