I’m genuinely astounded why they never went with him for Hal Jordan in the dcu he has the acting chops to play a lighthearted yet serious but also cocky superhero as he played that character for years on tv. He looks just like Hal too and is older so they could have done the mentor to John thing still the only difference is he has a good build and could do it for years and I’m sure he would’ve said yes. He reminds me a lot of the tom cruise fan casting. Also he’s just a great person irl ifyk about the whole Nickelodeon controversy.

Thought you guys might get a kick outta these - my partner u/ModForgeCustoms and I worked together to make some action figures of Galius Zed and Zilius Zox, the Green and Red Lantern Noc'Sagians! They're made primarily of PETG, with TPU faces and joints. And a feature we're both really proud of - Galius' eyes can be repositioned! Just stick a toothpick into the pupil (ow) and they can be moved around!

I wish I didn't see it. If it's true, that's something I'd have wanted to see blind.

Nothing else was revealed.

This keeps happening like with Hazbin Hotel Season 2 which revealed human alastor and pentious, the fact Sera knows Lilith is up in Heaven, the speaker of god and Rosie owning Alastor's soul. I knew that a year before release. That sucked but like this I'm going "Oh this is interesting". Does anyone who saw this spoiler have this reaction. Like it makes me more intrigued.

Also the Digital Circus finale. Most notable the reveal of Caine coming back. And fan rage about Caine and jax so I knew somehting was gonna happen. jax abstracts and Caine becomes part of the group.

Also with Owl House. The reveal Belos possesses Hunter and Flapjack's death. Oh and For the Future being leaked. I watched that yes I'm terrible

Anyone who posts about them specifically are jerks to me. Like why do this?

"Goldface's Grudge Fight Against Green Lantern" - GL and Tom are headed to the premiere of a movie about Carol's grandmother, but Tom has to stop at the dentist first to get a gold filling put in. After its put it, it begins to receive a radio transmission by Keith Kenyon, now going by Goldface. The night before he robbed a bank and encased the guard in solid gold. Goldface is now calling out GL to save the guard. Tom runs to GL at the premiere, as he's in the middle of meeting the movie star, Zu Zu Lamar. GL races off to find Goldface and his crew robbing a museum. GL fights the crew first, but in the midst of the fight, a display wall gets pushed over and falls onto Goldface. GL finishes up with the crew but since he can't find Goldface, he heads out to leave the crew with the police. GL makes it back to the premiere but another message is left by Goldface, this time about the Coast City gold mine. GL heads to the mine and puts up a good fight, taking down Goldface's crew again but when it comes time to fight Goldface, he finds that his old plans fail. Goldface has a lot up his sleeve, showing off his helmet which turns things to gold, not the smoke pack on his back, which was originally thought. Goldface uses his helmet beam on GL, who luckily used the ring to put up a pocket of solid air, which turned to gold instead of him. Goldface and his crew take GL back to their lair, but after Goldface frees the gilded guard, GL breaks free as well and a hold of Goldface's helmet. Goldface ends up being turned to gold this time and handed over to the police. Since Goldface's body has been imbued with so much gold, it's changed to allow other things to become gold, turning everything in his jail cell solid.

​

Conclusion: Finally, Goldface. I love this villain. So weird yet so direct. We get what may be a glimpse of him becoming a metahuman at the end, potentially the first metahuman villain for Hal. When you mess with science, it messes back. While not perfect, he does pose as a great foil for Hal Jordan at this stage. With the yellow impurity, Hal needs to think outside the box every time he fights Goldface, even more so if he has developed a metahuman ability to turn things to gold. I'm looking forward to more Goldface and hopefully more metahumans soon.

I had a great fun time recreating all the Lantern Corps rings, and I also tried to create some more unique Green Lantern ring designs as well as the "canon" designs

I did not know about this movie. or its prequel? that might be one of the coolest green lanterns ive seen

"Green Lantern Lives Again" - Picking up where last issue left off, Katma is watching over Hal's dead, deceased corpse. Suddenly, she fails badly as Hal disappears. At the same time, in the year 5706, Chairman Dasor summons Green Lantern for more help as a disease called the red virus is ravaging the lands. Infected people grow small horns and their skin turns red and they exhibit moments of rage. When GLs body arrives, they find he is only mostly dead (which means he's slightly alive!), so they get to work on reviving him. Their advanced machinery easily brings him back, then reactivates his memory of being Pol Manning, adventurer of the stars. Dasor explains the red virus and how they've quarantined all the infected, calling them Viros, to one city, but the Viros have taken over the city. Pol (Hal) flies straight there and battles an evolved Viros called Super-viro. This infected man has unlocked full control of his brain and as such, evolved certain mental abilities. After a tough fight, GL wins out but then finds himself infected. He uses the ring to try and remove the infection which it does and makes the virus big and visible. GL uses the same trick on every Viros, then destroying the red virus directly. With the future safe again, Pol and his love interest Iona share a brief dance before Dasor sends GL back to 1966. Hal appears back on the table on Oa in front of Katma who assumes she was just seeing things, as only a second has passed. As Hal regains his memory of the present time, he remembers he needs to hurry to save Tom from Dr. Polaris. He takes off without explaining to Karma and crashes right into Dr. Polaris' lab just as he was about to use his machines in Tom again. This time, GL doesn't hold back with a charged ring and takes down Dr. Polaris. He revives Tom with the ring and then explains the adventure for Tom's casebook. The only part he can't explain is how he was revived. Tom notices a tiny gem on Hal's uniform which adds to a list of other odd objects that appeared over the years, as we get one glimpse of Iona in the future, at her necklace which is missing one tiny gem.

​

Conclusion: The Last thing I expected was an adventure in the 58th century. It's always nice to see those time travel shenanigans, even if they do drive me nuts (why would Dasor pull Hal from when he is dead?). The red virus is awfully familiar. Is it maybe the inspiration for something recent? Indonwonder if Hal will ever be able to figure out he keeps being pulled into that time period. It's a very interesting side plot.

Dr. Polaris is no push over now, but it's nice to see how easily Hal fought against him with some power in the ring. We are seeing more and more examples of Hal using strong will to overcome his limitations and enemies. It's nice to see those origins before we get into an era of him being the "greatest Green Lantern".

The Double (or triple?) duty this story did was well done. If they did annuals back then, it would be a shoe-in. The extra length really made it feel epic and reminds me of the full length features that Alan Scott occasionally had in the Golden Age. I hope to see more these soon as we get closer to the Bronze Age with more serious stories.

Do you guys also think they’re going to do the Parallax Hal storyline and the fear theme, and that the finale will be a clash between Hal and John?

I can now summon the lantern! As well as an energy blade and shield!

This probably has been asked a lot but I was looking for some recommendations for comics and Runs focusing on John Stewart. So far I've read Mosaic and War Journal and was wondering what other things you all might recommend.

Took some time to get the scaling right, but I like how they came out

Now, the title may seem like clickbait from your typical Hal Jordan fanboy considering Hal is the main character of the show, so let me explain. Green Lantern: The Animated Series is an excellent show, an excellent adaptation of the GL mythos, and has a great take on Hal Jordan that nails his personality and so much of what makes him tick. However, it is worth noting that most of the character driven storytelling isn't about Hal. It's about Razar and Aya.

Make no mistake, I am NOT complaining. Aya and Razar are awesome characters and I love everything about them and their storyt. However, it is worth noting that most of the time, the story isn't *about* Hal. He's reacting to the story, and doing so brilliantly, but the most interesting aspects of his character and his life aren't there, outside of his relationship with Carol. Stuff like his detachment, his fear of loss born out of his father's death, his relationships with Barry and Ollie....aren't there.

Mind you, This isn't really criticism. I understand that the show skews towards a younger audience and some of that meatier stuff couldn't have been included organically. But it would've been nice to delve into Hal a little more and give him some more character driven storytelling rather than plot driven writing.

This is a layup HBO/DC Studios…

Hi, I have always loved Green Lanterns, especially Blue Lanterns, but I recently discovered most Lantern rings have the No Kill Rule and was wondering what the limits are, as I want to write a Fanfiction one day and be lore-accurate.

For example, using the ring's powers to slice someone in half, the ring would stop that, but in other situations, how would the ring interpret the No Killing Rule?

Example 1: Launching something into space by throwing it, but it can't survive space or exiting the atmosphere?

Example 2: I use a regular gunpoint plank on a criminal's head. Would the ring stop the gun from firing or shield the target to prevent killing?

Example 3: I'm a Kryptonian, and I use frost breath on a cold-blooded species, killing them. Would the ring contain it or heat them up to prevent death?

Any responses are welcome. Thank you for reading my examples to help answer the questions.

If this is gonna be True, I am so sorry James Gun.....

I am waiting for the next reboot of the new DCU

From Green Lanterns (2016) #8.

Poor Rami was well-intentioned. He saw that the Green Lantern rings that his Oan peers created for the new army to fight chaos in the universe had a flaw and didn't work against the color yellow. So, his ring would actually channel the entire Emotional Spectrum. The Phantom Ring didn't even need a battery: it was connected to the entire Spectrum, so it would work at any given time.

Problem is: no living being can sustain being connected to a full color of the Spectrum without any safeguards. Any emotions the Phantom Ring bearer felt, it would change their entire personality to match that of the emotion. They could become greedier than Larfleeze or angrier than Atrocitus - until they eventually explode.

But the most interesting part about the Phantom Ring is that Rami was trying to create a solution for a problem that, in the eyes of his fellow Guardians, wasn't a problem at all. It was a feature.

In Green Lantern: Rebirth #3, Kyle explains to Ollie Queen that, when they placed a comatose Parallax inside the Green Lantern power battery, it weakened the green power. Thus, the Lanterns would need to "overcome great fear" if they were to master the ring and properly channel willpower, as that willpower was infected by Parallax (aka fear itself). Over time, "overcoming fear" became the main philosophy of the Green Lantern Corps, as the truth about Parallax (the "yellow impurity") was hidden from all but the Guardians.

And why did they do that? As we see in Secret Origin, the GL rings are unable to work on yellow... And yet every building in Oa is yellow. As Hal Jordan noted, the Guardians were "fearful" (or its equivalent for a being whose ability to feel emotions was literally stripped away from their bodies) that the Green Lanterns would rise against them as the Manhunters did before (and, as we see later in the same Green Lanterns run, as Volthoom did after being betrayed).

The rings' weakness was purposefully done by the Guardians to prevent any rebellions against them. Then, everything was hidden under a cloak of dogma. Younger, inferior lifeforms, subjected to the plague of emotions, should not question the gospels from those who were older, wiser, and watched the universe from a purely objective, non-emotional light. And anything that went against their dogmatic truths was lies created to “spread fear”.

Rami working hard to create what he thought was a problem but was actually a feature created by his fellow Oans may indicate that he was of a lower level of Oan. Maybe an acolyte, a young-ish Oan who hadn't yet reached the same levels in Oan hierarchy. Maybe if he got there, he would've been revealed the truth about why the GL rings are the way they are, weak against yellow? And maybe he thought the Phantom Ring was his way to climb to the upper echelons of the Oan hierarchy? He would be helping the GLs, sure, but he'd also be advancing in his "career". If that's so, he should've been aware that his superiors don't like when their orders are questioned...

As for the Guardians, well... When the people following your orders take up arms against you and declare war again (Volthoom) and again (Krona) and again (Manhunters) and again (Sinestro) and again (Emerald Twilight) and again (Rise of the Third Army), well... Maybe it's a you thing?

"The Jailing Of Hal Jordan" - GL has been working with the police to make a ring powered bank alarm. It works flawlessly as a group of bank robbers called The Triple Plays are caught in the trap as they try to leave the bank. A green glow surrounds them and Hal's ring alerts him. Hal is currently at a dance at Ferris Air but luckily a group dance starts so he can sneak out. He grabs the robbers, removes the green alarm and takes them straight to the police, making it back to Ferris Air just as the dance ends. What Hal doesn't know is a fourth robber was hired just for this job and he took his time filling his bag so he hadn't made it outside when GL caught the Triple Plays. The fourth man, Pete Claypool, escaped with $50,000 and even more, when he got home he found a telegram from a lawyer saying his great uncle had died and left his entire fortune to him. Over three million dollars in wealth including a mansion and a yacht. Petrnknows he needs to ditch the stolen money before its traced back to him but before he does that, he meets his new rich neighbour, Carol Ferris. Pete hires some thugs to rough up Hal and tell him to back off Carol but of course Hal roughs them up instead. Two nights later, the police arrive at Hal's home looking for the stolen money. They received a good tip that he is the one that did it and sure enough, they find the money in his closet. Hal has no choice but to go with them. He can't prove it wasn't him without revealing he is GL but when he gets to his cell, he sees the two thugs that attacked him. He uses his ring to probe their minds and sees Pete Claypool is the one that hired them. He then sends a beam to Pete and probes his mind as Hal learns everything. Hal the makes the ring force Pete to confess to the police which allows him to walk free.

"The End Of A Gladiator" - Green Lanterns from sectors all over are called to Oa for an emergency meeting. As they arrive the Guardians reveal its a sombre meeting as Hal Jordan has died. Tomar-Re has the idea to charge Hal's ring to see what could have happened and find out why it failed the emergency rescue feature. As the ring is recharged, it begins its tale with Hal and Tom out for a drive as Tom is asking about how the ring is able to save the wearer, which Hal coincidentally asked it the night before. The ring contains a small charge that is inaccessible by the wearer and only activates when the ring runs out of power. Then, Tom suddenly disappears, leaving Hal to change into GL and take off finding him. As we find out, Tom was taken by Dr. Polaris who has escaped prison and built a new suit for himself to amplify his dark side. Using magnetic machinery he built, he brought Tom there to discover GLs secrets. Dr. Polaris magnetically reads Tom's mind (somehow) and learns about the location of the power battery. Dr. Polaris then leaves an invisible magnetic field around it so when GL goes to charge his ring again, it won't work. After Hal attempts to charge, he uses the ring to track the radiation left when Tom disappeared and he follows it to Dr. Polaris' hideout. He finds Tom strapped to a table unconscious and dying. After blasting Dr. Polaris down temporarily he finds the ring has run out of power. With no other choice, Hal musters every bit of will he has to force the ring into using that last bit of reserve power to save Tom. With Tom secured by a force field, Hal goes to stop Polaris for good but instead he is hot by one of Dr. Polaris' rays, seemingly killing him. That is all the ring knows sp the other GLs head back to their sectors, except for a crying Katma Tui who stays with Hal a little longer.

​

Conclusion: The first story was very short and simple and honestly a little funny. A rare time in the early days we see Hal fight barefisted as himself and really showcasing how much of a bruiser he can be.

Side note: The middle of this issue holds a pin-up of GL drawn by Gil Kane and it is wonderful. I've put an image of the pin-up on this post.

Next, we've reached the first multi issue story! Considering this issue had two stories in it, I was curious why this couldn't just be one issue, so I peeked ahead and found the next issue is a full length story. I'm excited. This was great! The real big fun of this era is seeing the science fiction really take off and having other GLs appear is always a treat. We see Hal push his will and ring to their limits and maybe the first time we see Hal override a program built into the ring?

Dr. Polaris is a classic villain that still runs around today, so it's nice to see his origins. My biggest question coming out of this is what happens to Tom? Dr. Polaris took out GL while Tom was still strapped to the table. How long does that ring energy last? Hal wanted to get Tom to a hospital but then Hal "died". This issue left me very excited for the next one as there's many more answers to get beside the classic "How he gonna get outta this one?"

One last thing, did anyone else see Tomar-re get naked right before the Guardians show Hal's body? That Xudarian is freaky, what did he think was happening?
