STAR-LORD Writer Sam Humphries gets a grip on DC’s Green Lantern Corps.
Step aside, Hal Jordan, and prepare for two new recruits to take the lead. Launching in June as part of DC’s Rebirth, the new ongoing series Green Lanterns pairs Jennifer Cruz and Simon Baz in what former Marvel exclusive writer Sam Humphries calls « Lethal Weapon with alien technology. »
Kicking off with Green Lanterns: Rebirth #1 illustrated by veteran GL artist Ethan Van Sciver, the bi-monthly series itself will be drawn by Robson Rocha and Adrian Syaf. In it, Humphries promises to explore the entire emotional spectrum through the eyes of these two rookie recruits.
Newsarama chatted with Humphries after the Rebirthannouncements at WonderCon 2016 to find out how Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz fit into the DC Universe, what his first arc, “Red Dawn,” is all about, and how his Earth-boundGreen Lanterns will still be “epic” on a cosmic scale.
Newsarama: Sam, let’s talk about Green Lanterns.
Sam Humphries: Yes! Green Lanterns. I’m glad you enunciated the “S” cause that’s what this book is all about. The plural. There are two new Green Lanterns of Earth. These are the Green Lanterns of Earth, Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz. And I’ve been calling it “Lethal Weapon with alien technology.”
Nrama: Let’s talk about Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz. These are characters who have been established in the DC Universe, but this is their first real spotlight. What’s your take on these characters and their relationship?
Humphries: Their relationship is what this story is all about. They’re partners, they’re rookies, they’ve been thrown into this situation but they don’t know what to make of each other. They don’t know if they can trust each other. They don’t know if they should be afraid of each other. And just like that dynamic that you see in other great cop movies and TV shows, that’s the kinda dynamic that we’re gonna start with, and we’re gonna give it a real strong DC Universe twist.

A Totally, Completely Serious Argument for RYAN REYNOLDS To Return as GREEN LANTERN
There are a lot of lessons that Hollywood will try to take away from the success of Deadpool. Knowing Hollywood, a lot of the lessons they think they should act upon will probably miss the mark. But we’d like to suggest one specifically to Warner Bros. that could be a huge plus for the company’s development of their DC franchise: Give Ryan Reynolds another chance at Green Lantern.
In brightest day, in blackest night…
Might take two films to get it right.
Let those who know just how to write
Give Reynolds back Green Lantern’s lightOK, the motto might summarize it best — letting Ryan Reynolds a second chance at playing Green Lantern — but let’s examine the idea in its entirety, and why the success ofDeadpool supports it.
Most die-hard comic book fans will remember that 20th Century Fox, the same film company behind Deadpool, originally introduced Reynolds as Wade Wilson in the 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
But in Wolverine, the « Merc with a Mouth » actually had his mouth sewn shut.

Avis Pimpf / Pimpf’s opinion :
EN : I know I’m among those who didn’t dislike the Green lantern movie because the whole concept , idea was there, the performance of the actors were good I found Ryan Reynolds real good as Hal Jordan / Green Lantern. what was less fun of course was all the use or abuse of CGI not well suited for this character , it didn’t got it quite well , it was even too much I would say sometimes, but for the guardians, for Sinestro Parallax, and all the rest the basic story of the Green lanterns corps all was there so I believe in htis character ( one of my fave character of DC Comics and in Ryan Reynolds again as the Green Lantern for maybe a Justice League movie !
FR : Je fais partie des quelques uns qui n’ont pas détesté le film Green Lantern , car pour moi l’histoire y était et le personnage de Hal Jordan y était correctement représenté ;Ryan Reynolds a plutôt assuré dans le rôle du turbulent Hal Jordan , Sinestro était très bon aussi, sans oublier Kilowog les gardiens de l’univers et tout le mythe de l’univers des Green lantern.
L’histoire était plausible et correctement représentée
Ce qui a péché le plus à mon sens ? l’utilisation abusive des effets spéciaux pour le costume , masque des Green Lantern, ça oui je suis d’accord le rendu n’était pas top mais tout le reste y était pour moi d’un point de vue histoire et adaptation de comics j’ai retrouvé ce Hal Jordan / Green Lantern qui m’a fait rêver depuis tout petit ( oui Hal Jordan : Green Lantern fait partie de mes héros favoris dans le monde des comics et chez DC Comics) je ne manquerais pas non plus la présence de Blake Lively dans le rôle de Carol Ferris 😉
Donc oui je serai pour que Ryan Reynols rempile dans le rôle d’Hal Jordan dans la Justice League, avec un costume plus sobre moins flashy mais toujours dans le même état d’esprit du personnage 🙂
In this feature we examine comic book stories and ideas that were not only abandoned, but also had the stories/plots specifically “overturned” by a later writer (as if they were a legal precedent).

Today, based on a suggestion by NES Boy, we look at how John Broome had some differing he established in the first appearance of Hal Jordan in Showcase #22, namely the fact that Hal Jordan was originally the person who coined the term “Green Lantern” and how Hal seemingly just came up with the Green Lantern oath on the spot…
In Showcase #22 by Broome and Gil Kane, Hal Jordan meets an alien who gives him a power ring and a power battery. It’s interesting to see how originally the alien is pretty sparse in details, including not mentioning that he is a Green Lantern…

Today, based on a suggestion by Stephane S, we look at the complicated history of whether Hal Jordan is actually “without fear” or not.
When John Broome introduced Hal Jordan in Showcase #22, the dying Abin Sur told his ring to find someone who is “entirely without fear”…
