We don’t usually do video games here on Comicgasm, but this is a Green Lantern game. Tied in with the upcoming movie that I’m actually looking forward to watching (despite the sucky costume), and here we go. It’s called Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters, and it looks pretty exciting.

Here’s the press release:

Inspired by the upcoming Warner Bros. Pictures’ superhero feature film Green Lantern, Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters soars onto game consoles this summer, extending the theatrical experience of one of DC Entertainment’s most popular superheroes. Players will use the most powerful weapon in the universe, the Green Lantern Power Ring, to build an array of weapons from green energy to defeat the Manhunters – an evil android race bent on destroying the Green Lantern Corps.

Packed with intergalactic missions, alien androids and out-of-this-world combat, Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters is an action-adventure videogame that delivers the Green Lantern experience right into the hands of gamers.

The game is launching on June 7, 2011, and is available for xBox 360, PS3, Wii, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS. Quick, like the Facebook page to get more news about this awesome new video game as it happens! They post new screenshots every Thursday, by the way!

First off, the official Green Lantern movie logo:

Looking good.

And the SDCC goodies just keep on coming. Warner Brothers has just released teaser posters for the upcoming Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds. We have four posters in all, featuring a portion of the Green Lantern oath, and as much as I hate the (unfinished) Green Lantern costume, the posters are giving me hope for this film.

Check out the teaser posters after the break.
