MindFreak Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 The only thing I know of Green Lantern is from the Justice League cartoons but that preview actually looks decent! Will probably watch it.
ReZourceman Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 The only thing I know of Green Lantern is from the Justice League cartoons but that preview actually looks decent! Will probably watch it. Most people will say Batman, (they're wrong) but Green Lantern is the best thing that DC produce (currently). The stories are EPIC as hell and its all really really REALLY bad ass.
Happenstance Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 I cant wait to see the full movie and see which other Lanterns we notice in the big crowd scenes, that preview already showed quite a few. I also feel the need to post this, mainly because its awesome but it can also be used to compare between comic and movie characters:
Jon Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Although i'm not a fan of Comics per se, I do love anything superhero related, although my knowledge on Green Lantern isn't the best (Clue: it's shit). I've seen the trailer a few times for this and i'm pressed. I did wonder if Blake Lively would a be a little on the young side when I heard about the casting, but she's hot, so i'm optimistic.
Happenstance Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 I cheered at Stel and Salaak. Did you see Hannu at all? I thought I saw a rock guy but he looked a lot less of a person than Hannu does, more like a load of rocks but together than a guy made of stone.
ReZourceman Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Yeah I didn't see Hannu (unless it is that rock one), but I didn't recognise who the rock one was supposed to be if it was supposed to be someone.
Retro_Link Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Robot lantern FTW! It is strange how across the whole of the Universe, two legs seems rather popular! :p
Happenstance Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Well I know there is a theory that if alien life exists a lot of it would actually evolve in similar ways so maybe this is the style DC took in their designs :p
ReZourceman Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Robot lantern FTW! It is strange how across the whole of the Universe, two legs seems rather popular! :p Yes! Thats Stel. He is a pimp. He's the build-a-figure for wave 2.
Ellmeister Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I was thinking of making a webbed feet comment, but resisted. I can see D_D still has a bit of growing up to do :p
Daft Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Don't like the feet but the rest looks slick. Shame it doesn't look that good in the trailer. Also, his eyes, being weird, don't much like. Looks inhuman.
Paj! Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 It will never not look like a fan-made photoshop job. The mask...! The rest is ok I guess, just terrible cgi intergration (as evidenced in the trailers so far) lets it down. Should have been a physical costume (IMO). The feet might be my favourite bit. And the little glowing lines.
Dan_Dare Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I like that they've made the suit look more alien than super hero- it builds the corps up, visually. I do think that the CGI is too much though and they should have made a physical suit too. Enhancement over replacement is still a trueism in SFX if you ask me.
Daft Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 I really hope DC manage to establish GL. Would be nice to have someone along side Bats and Supes. No, Wonder Woman. You need serious rebooting. Or at least your stupid outfit does.
Happenstance Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 I just wish DC would take a page from Marvel's book and make themselves a whole movie universe, they wouldnt even need to do that much but having a sense that all these things are linked would really help I think.
Paj! Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 But then...Green Lantern feels really alien (no pun intended) to the current series of Batman films. Would feel a bit "..." if they were connected.
Happenstance Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 Well obviously if they wanted to connect them all it would have to be in a more consistant universe
