1.
Take The Setting of The Story on Earth Not in Space
- The whole entire idea of bringing the setting into space didn't work at all. Even though the beginning of Man of Steel was set in space you still had a feeling it was somewhat like Earth the planet Krypton. You need to have an environment people would easily be able to relate to when having a challenging story of the struggles of a superhero wanting to save humanity. How do you save humanity when you are not there to defend Earth. The whole idea of the Green Lantern corps could easily be set up on Earth. There is no need for space, it just makes it more complicated and less grounded in reality.

Turning The Green Lantern Corps into a Cult of People
- To make the film more grounded on Earth and in reality of today, the Green Lantern Corps would need a major change. No more alien creatures or magical rings. Throw that out the window because that is not reality. The true reality is, The Green Lantern Corps is an underground cult of people. People who wear green robes with a hood and enchant themselves with ancient rituals believing in the legacy of defending Earth from the evil people. The evil people who would stop at nothing to destroy them for what they have made and caused. That is the reality the Green Lantern Corps should be presented as. Oa is now the name of an abandoned chemical warehouse company “Oa Chemicals” which serves as their secret hideout. Members are randomly selected and recruited. If this happens this could be the real Fight Club of DC movies. More dark and grim centred within true reality.

No More Superpowers, Just Pure Hand to Hand Combat
- The Green Lantern Rings are an untimely weakness and forced strength input. What we need to see is pure hand to hand combat. I am talking about something along the lines of the film “The Raid”. Brutal one on one fights including high speed action packed scenes. They fight with pipes or staffs and anything they can find. The action needs to pure Rated R style no holds barred.

Making Sinestro The Real Danger, A True Grounded Villain
- Within change it is important to keep the villains itself. The one important villain that needs to stay is Sinestro. Since my idea is relevantly grounded on Earth, why not make Sinestro a drug dealer? Ever wonder how Sinestro got so purple, well he made this stuff in a lab and he inhaled it so much it made him that colour. Now he likes the colour purple and hates other colours especially green. It makes it more in tune with reality involving race. As Hitler wanted to conquer the world with his ideal supreme race in mind the character of Sinestro would be given similar goals. Goals that soon come in conflict with the Green Lantern Corps to stop.
5.
Hal Jordon Needs to be a Insane
- The Green Lantern Corps recruits Hal Jordon from an insane asylum. Hal Jordon is a loner which makes him extremely reliable and he has no friends. They can easily manipulate him and his mind. That is a great reason why the character could be a assist. The whole idea of Hal Jordon being some pilot was extremely off the mark. It was way too complex for people to understand. Insane people are easier to understand. They have sad backgrounds which makes you root more for the character themselves. Making Hal Jordon insane is simple. He could have simply gotten himself in by trying to eat a VHS tape or something.

Making The Green Lantern Corps and Members The Ultimate Anti Heroes
- Nobody knows if they are good or bad. They often do evil things. Sometimes even the public hates them. They would be a mystery in every sense and way possible.
7.
Zombie Apocalypse
- Who else could they fight other than Sinestro? How about a full scaled zombie apocalypse. With zombies becoming more and more popular in media it's about time they enter in the world of comic book styled genres. Maybe Lex Luthor get's superpowers and these superpowers cause people to turn into mindless zombies. Then Batman becomes a zombie and he eats Superman (Superman later comes back with the power of the sun) and all this crazy stuff happens. Well take my idea into consideration.
8.
Dubstep Music
- With Dubstep music becoming more and more mainstream today it's time they were fully introduced in comic book films. A full on heavy dubstep soundtrack throughout the film would be perfect. Those quiet moments you always hate now get louder and louder. Those exciting moments now get more intense with dubstep music. This genre of music has the power to move people. It has the power to change people. It could make the tone of the movie better. Everyone likes dubstep so it's a perfect match.
I believe these points I have made depend on the success for another Green Lantern film to happen. Thank you for reading and as always comment!
