As most of you know, Green Lantern isn’t just one superhero. It’s an entire Corps of superheroes given the power ring to help patrol a specific sector of the universe. Hal Jordan, John Stewart or whoever else has worn the ring in the comics just happen to be our sector’s Green Lantern. So, when you have literally thousands of Green Lanterns to choose from to include in the upcoming feature adaptation, what do you do? You make up a new one, of course. GREEN LANTERN scribe Marc Guggenheim recently spoke to “Splash Page” about the film and had this to say on the decision to create a new Lantern, “One of our rules has been: ‘Don’t create a new Lantern when a pre-existing one from the comic books would work just as well. There’s only one Lantern who we’ve decided to completely create from scratch, but there’s a very specific reason why we’ve made that decision.” Oh, well, it’s ok if there’s only one you created from scratch. But does that mean you were considering creating more? In any case, read more about what Guggenheim had to say over HERE. Learn the identity of this mysterious new Lantern on June 17th, 2011.
