Several fictional characters, superheroes appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. The first Green Lantern (Alan Scott) was created by writer Bill Finger and artist Martin Nodell in All-American Comics #16 (July 1940). Green Lantern Corps is an extra ordinary super heroes and protectors of peace and justice, to keep intergalactic order and universe. Each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan. Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax... he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
That is a short synopsis about Green Lantern movie that attracted movie fans to watch it. An high special effect and the footage is awesome during making this film. Do you want to see it this weekend? Before you watch it on cinema, please read some of these information that has been written by Iann Robinson from Crave Online. He said Green Lantern comes to theaters with Ryan Reynolds taking on the iconic mantle of Hal Jordan. This will lead to a lot of people who don't really about comics sporting Green Lantern T-shirt, buying coffe mugs, toys, buttons and so on. But it will possible to let them create a perception of Hal Jordan, the most famous ringslinger. He informed about 10 Things That You Shoud to Know About Hal Jordan before you watching the movies.
1. Hal Jordan was one of the first political characters in comics.
In issue # 76 of the original Green Lantern run, writer Denny O'neil and artist Neal Adams took over the series and gave it a political slant. Children of the sixtiest, O'neil and Adams wanted to tell stories about the political upheaval and crimes happening in the real world. The two created the Green Lantern/Green Arrow series, which ushered in the Bronze Age of comics. Hal Jordan, being an interstellar cop, was set up as the Green Arrow shows Hal Jordan all of the in justices that are out there and how Jordan's good guys and bad guys view of the world is not realistic. These were not only the first to deal with political issues like racism, sexism, the rich oppressing the poor and political corruption, they were also the first to feature a main DC character as a drug addict when Green Arrow's side kick speedy got hooked on heroin. Hal Jordan was part of an enormously important chapter in the world of comics.
2. Hal Jordan Was The Spectre For A While. After dying while restarting the sun, Hal Jordan is fused with The Spectre, the spirit of vengeance. Hal uses this more as a spirit of redemption and goes to help several heroes out of bad situations. Finally, Hal Jordan is reborn and takes his places again within the Green Lantern Corps.
3. Hal Jordan Killed The Entire Green Lantern Corps.
Okay, pay attention because this gets tricky. After The Death Of Superman, the villain Mongul comes to Earth to try and take over. During this, Hal Jordan’s home of Coast City is destroyed and the seven million inhabitants murdered. Distraught, Jordan attempts to reconstruct the city using his ring in an attempt to deal with the grief. The Guardians see this as using the ring for personal gain and Hal Jordan is put on trial. Angered over what he sees as the Guardians ungrateful and insensitive behavior, Hal Jordan snaps and tries to take over the power of the main Lantern battery. During the battle, he wipes out all of the Corps, including Kilowog and most of the Guardians.
During the series Zero Hour: Crisis In Time, Hal Jordan attempt to rewrite history but is eventually stopped by other heroes in the DC Universe, including Green Arrow, who shoots Jordan through the heart. In the 1996 series Final Night, Hal Jordan returns and sacrifices himself to restart the sun.
4. The Lensman Controversy. When Hal Jordan debuted, many felt it was a little too close to E.E. "Doc" Smith’s series of pulp sci-fi books titled The Lensman. The Lensmen are a cosmic police force made up of different creatures given equipment that allows them great physical and mental powers. The writers and editors at DC Comics have always denied this claim but there are those who wonder if these books are where the idea for Green Lantern came from.
5. Hal Jordan Once Teamed Up With Daffy Duck. In the cartoon Duck Dodgers, in the episode titled “The Green Loontern”, Daffy Duck’s dry cleaner accidentally gives him a Green Lantern suit. Daffy travels to Oa and battles Sinestro before meeting up with Hal Jordan wearing the much too small Duck Dodgers uniform. Hal Jordan was voiced in this episode by writer/director Kevin Smith.
6. Hal Jordan Is The First….
human being ever to be allowed into the Green Lantern Corps. The Guardians felt that humanity was too young and violent to be effective members of the Corps, so Earth was ignored. When Abin Sur, the greatest Green Lantern, crashed here and his ring chose Hal Jordan, it shocked the Green Lantern Corps. Jordan was deemed unworthy but eventually proved to be one of the greatest Green Lanterns of all time. His ability led to other human Lanterns such as Guy Gardner and John Stewart.
7. Sinestro Was Once Hal Jordan’s Mentor.
Largely known these days as a villain, Sinestro was once the most gifted and honorable member of the Green Lantern Corps. When Jordan first came to Oa, Sinestro disliked him being human but respected his in-your-face attitude and lack of patience with the Guardians. Sinestro became a mentor to Hal and they had several adventures together. When Sinestro decided that the power of the green was too weak to maintain order, and turned to the power of fear (yellow) he wanted Jordan to join him. When he refused, Sinestro fought Hal but was defeated. Since then he has sworn to always be Hal Jordan’s enemy.
8. Hal Jordan’s Original Look. Though it was rumored that Hal Jordan was based on Errol Flynn, artist Gil Kane actually patterned Hal’s rugged good looks after Paul Newman.
9. Hal Jordan's First Appearance.
Hal Jordan’s first appearance was in Showcase Comics #22 in 1959. Written by John Broome and penciled by Gil Kane (who also helped create the Atom for DC and Iron Fist for Marvel), the new Green Lantern would debut not just the new green and black costume but also the idea of the Green Lantern Corps. It was a radical difference from the original Green Lantern, one produced by DC editor Julius Schwartz in the late '50s to fit with the more science fiction driven pop culture of the time.
10. Hal Jordan Was Not The First Green Lantern.
That honor belongs to Alan Scott from the Golden Age of comic books, who appeared in All-American Comics #16 in 1940. Though they share a name, the original Green Lantern was vastly different than Hal Jordan. Instead of his ring and lantern being powered by the force of will, Alan Scott’s power came from magic in the form of a mystical “green flame” that fell to earth. There is a subsequent story about an older Lantern named Yalan Gur, but officially Alan Scott is the first one.
And these are more things about Green Lantern you should know that had been reviewed by The Nerdy Birds in her's blog for more information for you, especially you are new to the world of Green Lantern. Read them all !
1. You are chosen: Not just anyone can be a Green Lantern. In fact, before Hal Jordan, a human was never even considered to serve in the Corps. Lanterns are chosen. Chosen by whom? Well it gets slightly tricky there. You could say the Guardians (I'll get to them later), but that's not entirely accurate, you could say Mogo (he's a planet AND a Green Lantern) but he's really just guide. Most would say it's the ring itself that chooses a worthy candidate to defend our universe. And the most important quality? The ability to overcome fear.
2. Power Ring: Your most important weapon as a Green Lantern, besides your mind, is your power ring. Some call it an advanced computer, others, magic, but what it really is is a tool. A Lantern's power ring not only feeds them information about whatever planet, civilization or foe they come into contact with, it also serves as a means to defend themselves. Green Lanterns are named so because the color green is the embodiment of willpower in the universe. With their minds, and the help of the power ring, Lanterns can create anything they can imagine out of green light. "How does this help in the field," you ask? Well, it's not light as you and I know it, it's hard light. Light, that when formed into a shape, can act as a weapon, a prison or a safety net. Thinking about a giant bear? You can use your power ring to form one of those out of hard light as well. You're mind and willpower to create it are its only boundaries. Well, there is one other boundary, the rings run out of power eventually. That's where the "Lantern" part of a Green Lantern comes in. Each Lantern has a personal charging station of sorts that links to a central "power battery."
3. Oa and the Guardians: Just like the United States military has its base of operations at the Pentagon, the Green Lanterns have their own fortified citadel. In fact, they get a whole planet - Oa. It's where the Guardians of the universe reside as well as the central power battery that acts as the source of the Lanterns' power. It was the Guardians who first forged the rings in an attempt to create order out of chaos. Originally, they selected androids to defend the universe but after these "Manhunters" took their programming a little too literally, the Guardians decided to give their power to living beings instead. The Guardians are immortals, or at least as immortal as immortals can be these days, and are vastly knowledgable and very secretive.
4. You are not alone: While it may be a scary thing to realize you've been chosen as a protector of the universe, relax, you're not alone. The Green Lantern Corps is there to help you. The Corps is made up of thousands of beings from across the universe who were chosen among their people to defend their home planet as well as any others in their "sector." There are 3600 sectors in the universe and most of the time, two Green Lanterns are assigned to patrol it. Earth, which lies in sector 2814, has four Green Lanterns in the Corps; Jordan, Kyle Rayner, John Stewart and Guy Gardner. As I mentioned earlier, Jordan was the first human Green Lantern, there are all shapes and sizes in the Corps.
5. There are other color Lanterns: If green is the embodiment of willpower in the universe, what about the other colors in the spectrum? There are eight other colors represented by their very own Corps out there as well and almost all of their powers are defined by an emotion. Red is rage, orange is greed, yellow is fear, blue is hope, indigo is compassion and purple is love. Black Lanterns represent death while White Lanterns represent life. Only one comes into play in the new Green Lantern film but it's a very interesting concept to keep in mind while watching.
Now, would you want to watching it on cinema now ? Or, may be you don't have any time for watching it this weekend and you would prefer to buy DVD. I recommended you to buy it here. ( reff )

And that, in a nutshell, is all you need to know about Green Lantern!.
So, whatever it the reasons and opinions. I gotta to appreciate this film much. because it was made with a good technology and movie and sounds effect, and I want to see it so.
Now, would you want to watching it on cinema now ? Or, may be you don't have any time for watching it this weekend and you would prefer to buy DVD. I recommended you to buy it here. ( reff )
