… is using his great power responsibly.

I think it’s no secret that I totally hated Hal Jordan’s costume for the Green Lantern movie. Seriously, look at it. It’s like they stuck a huge pile of moldy bacon all over Ryan Reynolds. I know it’s meant to be alien-looking and all, but it’s been a few months already and I still can’t get myself into liking it. Now they’ve revealed how the movie Power Battery looks like and it’s still very, very alien-looking and all – in fact, it’s a huge departure from the way it looks like in the comics – but here’s the thing: I actually like it. Huh.

To be honest, I don’t like the alien glyphs going all around the sides of the power battery – how Matrix can you get, really? – but I like the basic design well enough. It looks alien, which is pretty much the underlying theme in all of the Green Lantern designs we’ve seen so far. I can live with it. I hope this is how Hal Jordan’s CGI costume ends up, because it will destroy some mean shit. (continue reading…)

Ok. Hello again guys and gals. Here’s the third portion of the Lantern corps series of posts.  I’m sorry for the uber late post.  Apparently, work + writing = no progress whatsoever.  But now, I was able to finally find the time to finish this.  Anyways, the corps to be tackled here are the Orange lanterns and the Blue lanterns (yes Fiel, I know you’ve been waiting for this…).  So, without further ado, here we go.

Yes! We finally have red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet and black rings! So after collecting all the crayola corps rings, we decided to have some fun and make fools of ourselves at the same time! Not content with wearing matching rings and shirts in public and getting people confused if we’re supposed to be power rangers or what, we decided to post pictures for everyone to see!

Mouse over the pics for the captions!

Hello again ladies and gents.  Arkade here.  This is my second post…. ever. Lol.  Anyways, back to business then.  With the Blackest Night arc happening within the world of DC, it is only prudent to try and get a better view of the situation at hand.  This post will be the first of a series of posts focusing on the multiple lantern corps that have been shown in the Green Lantern series.  Again, like my first post, i will focus on strengths and weaknesses of each corps according to my personal opinion (Note: I gladly welcome the views of others with regards to each corps. Nothing better than a hearty debate/discussion).  Also, for lack of a better name, i will use the colors for the corps names… (only Sinestro had the balls to name an entire corps after himself).  I hope that Nhojleif will forgive my intrusion into his personal green lantern space.  Anyways, here we go then:

Green Lantern Corps:
