You're not going to able to move for Green Lantern coverage online from now on, as set visits and interviews bombard the ol interwebs. A lot of it is cool, if not terribly revealing or new, but I did find this excerpt from Latino Review's coverage very interesting..



DC Comic book writer Geoff Johns told us that the mythology for the film is all there, they even have the Guardian scar and it's all true to the comics. Also you will see some sort of easter egg in the movie; "There is a billboard for Central City somewhere in the movie, so Central City does exist" explained Johns.


Now while this isn't exactly Earth shattering news, it does suggest that WB are at least CONSIDERING some type of shared DC universe in their movies. Of course, it may not ever come to anything. After all, Gotham was mentioned in Superman Returns! Still it's nice to know that a shout out to Central City is in there. Maybe when the Flash movie does happen DC/WB will go a bit further and actually have some cross over of characters. We can hope right?

For their full coverage, as well as a great interview with Mark Strong(Sinestro) click the link back to Latino Review below.

Let's get a Justice League movie up in this piece. I think people would be nuts for a JLA movie, even more than Avengers to be honest.

if The Avengers film makes star wars/matrix kind of money, we'll definitely see a a Justice League film or at the very least a "trinity" film.



Henry Cavill as Superman, Matt Bomer for Batman, Jaime Alexander as Wonder Woman would be awesome.


@ booster girl, yeah it would. it would be an awesome way to build up the JL film at some point.

Interesting, I wish I had more easter eggs in movies, DC Comics, would be nice if Christopher Nolan (Batman) and Zack Snyder (Superman) continue the same fashion to make their films more interesting, though obviously not reach the excess shown in Iron Man 2, just hope that at some point make a movie Justice League after all the individual movies. ...

And you know what this means...wink, wink.

Btw, didn't I hear that Metropolis will be mentioned too? I may have heard but they may have changed their mind.

@LEE777

Gotham City was referenced in Superman Returns. Didn't mean they were connected.

When I was looking through one of the viral website for green lantern, the amanda waller character mention been friends with an astronermer named Ted Knight. Who was the original Starman.

It's a nice idea but if you remember Gotham City was referenced in Superman Returns (on the news broadcast about blackouts), yet we all know that's not part of any shared universe.
Wish this was though

Cool. I'll be looking for the Easter egg in the movie.

Flash will probably be out in 2013 if Green Lantern does well because they have already been working on it for a while. Also, Ryan Reynolds campaigned for years to play the Flash so it is cool that he gets a little nod. Can't wait for the movie!

The Flash? Seriously? Who cares..... I'll still see, cause that's how I roll!

Thank God, FLASH is next!

I mean I really hope they will get bigger, plus use Amanda Waller there to connect them!

If they make a Flash movie... Hopefully its the Barry Allen 'Flash', with a nod (if not full on mentorship) to Jay Garrick, of course
supersalt32
supersalt32 - 5/17/2011, 5:56 PM
for the love of odin... please make the flash movie already!!!

Central...City. Central. City. CENTRAL CITY! PLEASE, let this be a sign that Flash is up next -- a bigger sign than all the instantly debunked rumors that pop up every now and then. More importantly, let this be a sign that he'll be in the same universe as the GL when he does get his movie.

Screw Justice League, I'd just be happy if we at least get smaller team-ups. And if not that, I'd still be happy just with them existing in the same universe.

CBMfan001 - 5/17/2011, 7:37 PM
nice,even if it is something little ;) I hope GL does well not only will we get sequels but also because then others like FLASH & AQUAMAN may get their own films :)

I'm not a superman fan or a wonder woman fan,not very interesting (though I will watch a superman movie for the sake of a CBM)I rather see new characters in movies because they are far more interesting and something we have not seen before like GL :)

Flash will be great. A shame that the TV series didnt last longer. Sure they robbed from Batman and mixed up their flashes but it was still pretty darn slick. Mark Hamil as the Trickster was awsome. I have to say I still blame Saddam Huesein for interupting the Flash while I was watching it. Maybe he had weapons of mass distruction maybe not either way he got his for interupting the Flash!!!!
