Here are the results of their Dream Cast vote of Eagle Cove Entertainment (the guys that are making the movie):

22% Orlando Bloom (Kyle Rayner)
14% Bruce Campbell (Guy Gardner)
10% Brad Pitt (Hal Jordan)
9% Angelina Jolie (Jade)
8% Denzel Washington (John Stewart)
8% Samuel L. Jackson (John Stewart)
7% Keanu Reeves (Kyle Rayner)
6% Salma Hayek (Jade)
5% Billy Crudup (Hal Jordan)
5% Matthew McConaughey (Guy Gardner)

Some of the people in that vote are rather humerous. Orlando Bloom as Kyle Rayner. Classic. I personally would have voted for Jack Black, who has said he wishes he could be after he played Spider-Man in the MTV music awards.

News on upcoming other "Green" movies.

Green Arrow- Kevin Smith will definitely not direct Green Arrow despite writing some of the comics due to "a bad experience he had" with super hero movies (WTF?).

Green Hornet- The main character Britt Reid is confirmed to be played by Jake Gyllenhaal. Kevin Smith is also the confirmed to be the director (WTF? What about his Green Arrow comment?)

kevin smith said that he isn't a big fan of comic-films b/c they simplify the actuall plot(s) and it doesn't provide an actual comic experience b/c theres no way an actor's thoughts can be seen like when a comic charcter uses a thought bubble....i dunno i saw it on history channle

and jack black has been reported to be in the "upcoming" GL movie, i hope it gets canned before anything serious happends for the "film"

I'd like to see it based on hal or john, i laughed when i saw Orlando Bloom as Kyle, he definitally looks alot like him :rolleyes:. Lets see Denzel put on the mask. That would be great.

But, it is know that well know actors rarely come back for sequels, so this will probably be a one shot movie.

The bad experience Kev had on a superhero movie would be when he wrote the script for "Superman Lives" which Tim "Spooky" Burton then promptly threw out the window. In fact, at the 1996 SD Con, Kev signed my copy of the screenplays to Clerks and Chasing Amy with "Will, all I can say is F--K Tim Burton". Except the blanks were filled it. Jay Mewes simply signed it "Snootchy Bootchies". I think he was high. I sat behind them both at the Eisner awards that year...funniest thing I've ever been to, listening to the two of them crack wise the entire time, except for when Kev had to get on stage to give an award or something.

And Miramax is giving Kev a Buttload of money, whereas Green Arrow would be done with Warners, and he's already had a bad experience or two with Warners. Put it this way, would you rather work with a company that has always supported your work, or work with a company that continually disses you and treats you like a hired gun?

Well besides me, Hal Jordan is prompt to regain the Green Lantern mantel. In Green Lantern: Rebirth part 1, Hal and the rest of earth’s green lanterns make an appearance all with vague mysterious roles in Hal’s supposed rebirth. And after several years of anticipation Hal Jordan fans are biting their nails, as the weird circumstances do not make it easy to accept Hal will come back as Earth’s Green Lantern. Though Geoff Johns, a critically acclaimed writer (Stars and S. R.T.I.P.E.S.) is heading this series I still have more than a handful of doubts the series will live up to the hype. Besides being relatively young, Johns isn’t really known for satisfying his readers, or so I am told. I never knowingly read anything that he wrote (besides GL: Rebirth). So far not so bad not so good, the series is interesting enough and the artist is accept ional (even though no one does rain better than Frank Miller) looks to be an interesting series.

Spoilers:
After GL 181, kyle searches for “something more” “out there” he crash lands on earth in a space ship and “dies” next to a GL coffin , his ring is burned onto his finger and so it stays on him after “he dies”
Hal, john swert, and guy meet at a ball game only to be interrupted with thousands of people looking for repentence from the spectre, hal Jordan.
Black hand, attempts to steal a Green Lantern ring olliver queen, green arrow, owns. The Spectre appears and punishes Black hand by turning his right hand into coal. Ollie has a bad feeling, thinks that hal is acting more and more like the spectre
Guy gardner explodes, his vuldarian physiology is rejecting itself. The only thing remaing from the explosion is a statue of Hal Jordan. John snaps at batman after he criticizes Hal Jordan as a power hungry monger.
Coast city is partly back. Carol ferris finds hal in coast city’s farris airport, along with new planes.

First I don't see how they are going to bring Hal back to life. Once your service as the Spectre ends you move on to your afterlife, not mention a new Spectre must be found.

Second, there is no way Corps would accept him again. Yes he was greatest among them, but he beat/humilated his fellow laterns, drained/destroyed the guardians, destroyed the trust of all those who considered friend, and tried reshape all space/time. If DC had a half mind they are going to leave things the way they are. They should kill him and allow his greatness to be, and not ruin him.

Third, if heroes(Superman, Batman, etc.) accept him with open arms, I'll burn DC comic books in front of DC building. When they forced Hal to give his life to save Earth, is the day he gave up his chance to redeem himself as a latern. He can never come back as one.

Uh, have you guys actually been READING Green Lantern: Rebirth? #2 came out on Wednesday, just read the story.

Oh and BTW, Geoff Johns did a signing at Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash last week. Both my printings of Rebirth #1 are now signed, along with all 35 other of his books that I happened to own. Including JSA #6-25, Stars and STRIPE #0 and a bunch others.

Nope I haven't read but my thing is I don't want another Death and Return of Superman. Alot of ppl were turned off and there are many that are still scowling about it, I don't want that for Hal. I just don't want another stupid way to return to favorite char to what made him popular. Now if in your opinion they have achieved this some how, then I have nothing to say. If though they leave so many holes which will ripple through the comic names then just let him be.

HAHAHAHA o man! i juss got Rebirth#2 today, and Geof Johns just scored some major points with me, if he keeps this up i'll become a fan. i especialy liked how the suprise just came out of no where, i guess there was a need for a pretty tame and lame 1st issue. The plot so far reminds me of one of the plots that the guys from H.E.A.T. submitted to DC, i guess 7 years of whining finally paid off. :o . also the way batman and kilowog are
drawn is nice. and iam loving all the flamey explosion effects.

Well then I guess you're going to miss Crisis 2005 (there's a HUGE new earth-shattering series on the horizon, bigger than Identity Crisis from what I understand), because at the end of Rebirth #6 Hal will be GL, and it's also the "final fate" of Kyle.

tye87

12-02-2004, 09:30 PM

The blockbuster year-end issue of Wizard shines a light on several DC Comics projects and creators, including Brad Meltzer, named "Writer of the Year," and IDENTITY CRISIS, the "Miniseries of the Year!"

Wizard heaped praise upon IDENTITY CRISIS, saying "This was the event of the year, a story that shook up an entire universe and struck at the very heart of what it means to be a hero... a triumph."

IDENTITY CRISIS #1 also was named "Single Issue of the Year," with issue #6 honored as "Cliffhanger of the Year." The JLA's decision to mindwipe Dr. Light was called "Moment of the Year."

"IDENTITY CRISIS epitomizes the strong year DC Comics has had," says Brian Cunningham, Wizard Editor. "I'm sure Wizard readers are looking forward to how DC will follow it up in 2005."

Michael Turner, cover artist on IDENTITY CRISIS, SUPERMAN/BATMAN, ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN, THE FLASH and more, was named "Cover artist of the Year." Turner also provided the cover for the January issue of Wizard.

In other categories, EX MACHINA's Mitchell Hundred was named "New Character of the Year," H-E-R-O's serial killer as "Villain of the Year" and Green Arrow as "Hero of the Year." Green Lantern was named "Hero to Watch" for 2005. Upcoming artist on BATMAN: EUROPA Gabrielle Dell'Otto was named "Breakout Talent of the Year

what can i say, the man knows his comics. This isn't the best moment to be a hal jordan hater, so many good story lines are going/ are being put out because of his "return" that he WILL join the likes of Supes, Bats and wonder woman in the DC universe. Ya maybe a lot of his comic book run has been mediocre but if you read the right titles, he's been in pleanty of great stories. all i can say is "woot woot yo, my boy Hal be comin' back from his hood booyeeeeeee....anglo saxon represent wha wha...word"

btw n e one think kyle might be spectre III? his little looking for "more" kinda hints to somthing like that, but after turning down being omnipotent , i have doubts

Who knew that Kyle had such vocal fans? DC didn't I'm sure.

tye87

12-04-2004, 07:58 PM

as for vocal fans here's what some regular joe schmoes have to say (originally found/sotred by h.e.a.t.)

"Hal Jordan IS Green Lantern." .

"Hal will always be the iconic Green Lantern." -- .

"Small sales didn't kill Hal Jordan, Small Minds did." -- .

"Green Lantern is my favorite DC character. But I've rarely seen Hal really explored. I mean, he's a test pilot. He's a guy who gets into a machine thatmay not work and launches himself into the air, trusting himself that if something goes wrong he'll figure out a solution on the fly. That's not Batman--he always has a plan. That's not Superman--Superman is rarely in danger. Hal's the kind of guy who will jump off a cliff because he'll figure out something to do on the way down. That's a great character." --

"I think there's something of Hal Jordan in all of us. The ring is a symbol of real freedom. And Hal, as its bearer and daredevil pilot, represented the triumph of the human spirit and its indomitable will to succeed and achieve. Personally, I find those qualities very compelling. Apparently, other people do too!" -- .

also some semi-spoiler free teases here

What I don't like about Hal's return is that it's only happening because people were crying about getting him back.

I've read the first two and so far it's decent but I have my doubts. This series could easily ruin the GL name.

I'm a big Hal fan, but I'd rather see him as Spectre than GL again.

Oh and Paralax's origin is issue #3. Funny because I thought his origin was "Coast City got blown up, I'll just fix it. Guardians & Corps won't let me, so I'll steal their power. There, now I'm Paralax... Think I'll start Zero Hour."

12-08-2004, 05:57 PM

i think its just fine, he went inside the battery [again] and he became parralax, it totally ties in with how a new impurity makes GLs crazy. i mean before he went in actually said "you can’t stop it, and neither can I" and that was right after using 10 GL rings. Also who else was exposed a little too much to the Power Battery? Appa Ali Apsa, he was stuck in Oa alone for along time probably being poisoned by the impurity, and what did he go do? try to create his own world, which goes with parralax trying to recreate like everything. think about it all the current and past crazy GLs they've all have had the need to change things. Sinestro:perfect sector, Kilowog:home for his race,Guy:have always liked to abuse power. Kyle is the only one "unaffected" b/c damn he doesn't really want that much, he had the power of being omnipotent and he turned it down.

hahaha man i think this story is gonna be great, its like they planned it from the start

WildWill

12-08-2004, 07:28 PM

Well I HIGHLY doubt they planned it from the start, that would mean that DC has a 10 year plan (Emerald Twilight was in 1993 right after Reign of Superman), and I'm pretty sure DC doesn't plan THAT far in advance. I know they do about a year-year and a half in advance, but not 10 years.

12-08-2004, 07:40 PM

o yeah i know, but its just so great how the plots is going to fall in place, they hardly have to change n e thing that important from the past continiuty. you know how many bad ressurections there have been? ...well ofcourse you do! you've been reading comics longer than i've been using tooth paste..much longer. [no i didn't just start last week :rolleyes: ]

"We're not worthy!"

O my :eek: ucking Buddha! Geoff Johns did what was thought to be impossible, he pulled a Jesus on Hal Jordan, bringing him back bigger, better, cooler, “aloofer” and redeeming Hal Jordan of his "crimes" in part 3 of Green Lantern: Rebirth "Unholy Trinity"...just in time for Christmahanukanzika...or what ever that cell phone commercial calls it.

It turns out that all of the “ it just so happens that yellow light spectrum not being affected by green light”, “Oa being the source of the battery’s power”, “Spectre picking Hal as a host for no “real” reason”, and “what you thought happened to sinestro” is thrown out the window……………but in the best Friggin’ way possible!

The Comic starts off with every one’s favorite son of a pooze, kilowog, getting his ass handed to him by Ganthet. Then the scene changes to Hal finding his old apartment building restored, old landlady intact. A brief appearance of Parallax teases while the scene is changes to Kyle Reyner being transported to the JLA watchtower with Hal’s body retrieved from the core of Earth’s sun just in time to for Kyle to find Oliver Queen, sleeping beauty for hire, saying, “What the hell is going on?!” Not unlike a sober high school girl, Geoff does not disappoint and teases us again with a cut back to Hal Jordan and faster than you can say Barry Allen, the three stooges get into a little mana-ja-twa. The Spectre, Parallax, and Hal Jordan struggle with one another dropping hints here and there about the “truth”. We’re back to Kyle, where he starts his long winded explanation.

1. the green lanterns are powered by a electromagnetic spectrum of emotion by every creature in the universe’s willpower
2. after GL:endings 181, stumbles onto a planet where the creatures fear his ring because of parallax
3. the creatures of sector 3599 tell of a story about a “creature born at the beginning of Sentience”, parallax
4. the entity was made of living fear, and if you ever pissed you pants before after being scared, you know that fear is yellow.
5. Parallax, the yellow entity of fear, threaten to destroy the entire universe on its quest to feed on people’s fears, which relentlessly caused paranoia and violence
6. At the same time that Parallax was gathering fear, the guardians were gathering willpower with their “newly” forged central battery.
7. The guardians trap Parallax in the battery, which weakened the power ring’s effectiveness on the color yellow, parallax existence is purposely forgotten and its only legacy is what has become known as the “yellow impurity”
8. Fast forward to the near past, parallax wakes up “for some reason” and starts to chip away at the ideal green lantern. Hal Jordan.
9. Hal Jordan, the man without fear, starts to fear as parallax chips away at his personality by “leaking through the tendrils of his ring”..the result? …gray hair[as seen in the ali aspa story arc]
10. the coast city disaster finally breaks Hal to the will of parallax, and he attaches himself to Hal Jordan’s soul. Its explained that while corrupted Hal’s sacrifice in “the final night” was just a glimpse of Hal’s true personality .
11. the spectre explains that it chose Hal Jordan as its host in an effort to “burn out” parallax, who has killed many in god’s universe…parallax literally emerges from Hal Jordan’s skin yelling “parallax lives!”
12. Green arrow tries to wrap Kyle’s story in his head and ponders “what woke parallax?” then he gets shot by yellow arrows
Sinestro takes the blame for waking up parallax, and the source of the yellow arrows formed by a yellow power ring.

as a rule of enjoying fiction, you have to suspend your beliefs. but as a rule for being a comic fan boy its always fun to poke at writer's writing "mistakes"

geoff does a great job explaining the yellow impurity, one thats logical and ties in with green lanterns "Sci-fi ish feel". but there have already been comics before him that already "explained" the impuirty, but whatever, i'd rather convince myself that goef's explanation is the "real" one and whatever i'll justify it somhow. here's what i posted at DC.com and what somboy else did

I know! I know! I just got GLC #222-224 this past weekend(in my attempt to eventually get every GL comic). After the GLC kill Sinestro and the CPB is getting destroyed the history of the Oans and the CPB is revealed(this might have been revealed earlier that these issues).

The CPB started out as a Yellow crystal. When the Oans are adding their "blue" energy to the crystal to form the battery, it becomes green. Somehow that causes the ring to be weak against the color yellow.

I could have interpreted that wrong(I've only read that issue once so far). Anyways, I like Geoff's explanation better.

well i know everyone thinks geoff's writing in rebirth is unflawable but i found a biggie!

in rebirth kyle says,jon [john stewart] always wondered why GLs we're unable to affect yelow but never knew why.

well you know who knows? i do!

in GL 1991 #19 50th aniversary issue [cover shown in this ebay link] http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32756&item=6501077755&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW#ebayphotohosting

DC explains allan's scot's ring's origin and why its weak against wood.

A part of Allan Scot's spirit is still with his lantern after he and the Jsa went missing, it takes guy, jon and hall to the past.
see the 1st green lantern of earth wasn't abin sur it was this dragon looking guy called Yalan Gur, he wasn't weak against anything , infact he was on of the corps best, so he got arrogant. the guardians put the yellow impurity as a safe gaurd but after a yellow monster almost killed Yalan they took it off becasue they didn't want to lose one of their best GLs. this caused Yalan to be tyranical which the gaurdians didn't like. Yalan bossed around the chinese people until the gaurdians wanted to teach him a lesson and put a wood impurity in, the chinese then beat Yalan with sticks. Yalan feeling betryed, Yalan goes into his battery or somthing and somehow it crashes on earth as a meteor, and some guy makes into a lamp. it kills people because it has Yalan's spirit, alan scoot finds it or somthing and tames the spirit somehow. the spirit influenced allan to call himself green lantern and any thing green lantern Allan has ever done like his costume.

so ya thats about it geoff johns is a great writer and i prefer what he wrote about the impurity, its just he over looked this comic i guess.

fun fact of the day i guess?

Well one of the complaints about the Hal Jordan change to Parallax was that it was too neat and clean, and that it really wasn't in his character to become that evil a villain.

Now if something or someone else was more or less responsible for that, I can see this working. Kind of like retconning the "Phoenix Force", only I"m sure DC will do a much better job.

the only diffrence is that the phoenix force created a clone of jean grey and it wasn't actually jean grey making the decisions when the dark phoenix saga took place. but the phoenix force itself.

the impurity is Parallax, a entity born during sentience and made of living fear, has woken from its imprisonment in the central battery "by sinestro" and was the one corrupting hal jordan in the past during zero hour and ect ect. and all other GLs right now go crazy because of the impurity if they use their rings. and johns just mad because the blue man is brining him down....no j/k he's being corrupted too

as for rebirth#4, on DC.com its shown that it doesn't get released until feb 9, but rebirth 6 comes out march 23??? i dunno i think its just to hide the cover on rebirth#5, b/c it has hal fighting sinestro

GREEN LANTERN SECRET FILES 2005
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-6/750897/2852_180x270.jpg
Written by Geoff Johns; Art by Darwyn Cooke, Ethan Van Sciver, Dave Gibbons, Patrick Gleason, Prentis Rollins, and others; Cover by Carlos Pacheco & Jesus Merino

The guys at Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash said #4 was delayed at least another week. No #4 next week. No Astonishing X-men #8 either. Might as well skip the trip

Rage and Revelations {Rebirth #4} was awsome!!!!

Hal is bacK! watch out matt murdock there's an once fallen hero has returned to take back the title man without fear. #4 was masturfully written. In one short comic, GF has managed to bring back hal jordan, bring back sinestro, have spectre leave hal, and bring together all the esential characters. Not only that but the issue was action packed, forget about novel like dialog in a comic book, the story was intense. My favorite parts were when Green arrow used the ring, when Ganthet said "parrallax chose the wrong sould to corrupt", when Parralax was all "you think iam afraid of you and the green lanterns?" and then members of the Jsa, JLa and the titas come out of nowhere, i swear turning that page was awsome.

you just know next issue will be more of the same, great stroy, great art along with a lot of action

WHO agree's with me that there should be a green lantern movie

Denzel Washington or Wesley Snipes should play John Stewart.

In a seriousness, if one were to come out, it'd most likely be based on Hal Jordan. He's the most well-known of the Green Lanterns.

An Alan Scott movie would also be interesting. Alan Scott = pimp.

I don't know...if there were a green lantern movie, I probably wouldn't go watch it. it'd have so much special effects, it wouldn't be funny.

i agree that there should be one.

i think there was actually talks of one from a while ago, with Jack Black to play the lead. yeah, i realize that tht's prolly not the best guy to play a part in any movie, but yeah....

blech. it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. good thing i havent heard about it in over a year.

Jack Black was only making a joke about being in a superhero movie, and it wasn't a Green Lantern movie he was joking about either, it was a Silver Surfer movie.

I don't know...if there were a green lantern movie, I probably wouldn't go watch it. it'd have so much special effects, it wouldn't be funny.

Not if it had Deathstroke the Terminator in it. He'd use his almighty power of making those around him stupider. I mean, look at Identity Crisis. Kyle Raynor, a creative person, with the most powerful weapon in the universe in his arsenal that gives him the power to do nearly anything..... decides to try and PUNCH Deathstroke. WTF is up with that?

I have been hoping for a movie for years. But after that piece of garbage Hulk movie, and plus the amount of special effects they will need to incorporate in the movie that would definitely come off chessy, I would hope they would just drop it.

Ok the Hulk movie wasn't bad at all. People are deem it as bad because they go expecting just to see Banner get mad at everything and destroy stuff as hulk the whole movie but thankfully they didn't turn the movie into a special effects bonanza that involved lots of punching and explosions because those make for amusing movies at best and anyone could have done that with a hulk movie. Instead Ang Lee explored the Banner side of the story becuase without Banner there is no Hulk and vice versa and they showed that well in the movie. Anyways off my rant a Green Lantern might be good if they chose a good villian that can bring out more depth to the Green Lantern char.

It would be great to see Green Lanterns story be translated from comic to screen. Obviously it would be Hal Jordan, and the villan would be Sinestro just to start the movies off with a bang, and explore with characters from there.

After Infinite Crisis is over, which Green Lantern do you think should be in the JLA?

Me, I think John Stewart should be in the JLA. I honestly want to say John. I'd like to see him actually shine every once in a while in the comics like he does in the cartoon. Maybe he can this time around. Plus it'd cover racial diversity.

My reason is that it makes sense from a book's point of view. Hal Jordan is in his own Green Lantern title, Guy Gardner and Kilowog are currently leading veterans in the new Green Lantern Corps, and Kyle Raynor's getting his own "Ion" comic after Infinite Crisis. With John on the JLA, every Green Lantern will have exposure. While I agree, John hasn't always been seen as "THE best" Green Lantern, being on a new JLA could really help develop his character.

Also, I'm not going to even consider picking it up if Hal's the one picked.

RachelGrey

01-22-2006, 06:33 PM

Well...I would love if Kyle was the resident GL but that doesn't seem to be likely. As you said, he's got his Ion title (Yay!) and an article on Newsarama said he might not exactly be a good guy (boo!). Sentinel is still JSA and Guy and Kilowag will be in GL Corps...unless one of them dies in the Rann/Thanagar Special...which might be the cause of Kyle's new state.

So that leaves John and Hal. I've never liked John, but I'd rather have all the GLs out and active than have Hal in the JLA and his solo title while John stays i limbo. But I oculd see the writers using Hal since he has a bigger fanbase.

I'll have to see the entire roster for JLA if until I decide to buy it or not. I just picked up the Terror Incognita TPB...fun read, but I don't think I want to psend the money o it monthy unles the rooster is really good. I always used JLA as a fun TPB buy when I had some extra money.

Everyone here knows that I love Kyle, but I will admit that John works better with the JLA, he's used to taking orders. I wonder if the new Blue Beetle will be a member of the new JLA?

01-27-2006, 09:57 AM

Well Guys isnt a GL anymore from what I last remember (Been a long time) He has Sinestros Ring yeah the Yellow One. It Needs no recharging EVER!

Hal is making a comeback I guess...But John was Paralyzed from the waste down in the GL Comic I have with him in it.He returned his ring and vowed never to use it ever again in that one.

Kyle is a GL, but will be returning to Ion power levels (Yay).

RachelGrey

01-27-2006, 03:22 PM

Kyle is no longer a GL too, as I seem to recall, doesn't he have a new name?

He doesn't have a new name yet. He'll be the one who is "forever changed" when Rann/Thanagar War: Infinite Crisis Special comes out. I'm assuming his change will also have to do with the death of a character. Then he'll start going by Ion. I guess that he's just Kyle Raynor for now. My gut tells me it'll be Kilowag since he's an important player to Kyle and also so that Guy Gardner will accept his role as teacher of the new students once Green Lantern Corps is released as an ongoing series. Of course that's just speculation from my own opinion and I pray I'm wrong just because I love Kilowag. I hope it's not him or Adam Strange.

Krusher, you are WAY out of date.

John had his back repaired a LONG time ago, and has been the resident GL in JLA for quite some time.

And Guy got back his GL status during Rebirth if I'm not mistaken. I could be wrong though.

Kyle is no longer a GL too, as I seem to recall, doesn't he have a new name?

You mean the current GL in the JLA of the cartoon...And your right IM WAY out of the loop lately. BUT i knew that Rebirth was there....And why would Guy gardner need his GL Status back? His yellow ring was more powerful than any GL Ring as it was the Only thing that the GL Ring Could NEVER touch...Now the ORIGINAL GL (Golden Age GL) His ring is the only one I Can see stpping Guys Yellow one. BUT since he has Merged with his ring That would be really stupid. he might no longer have his weakness.

WildWill

Guy lost that yellow ring a LONG time ago, back in his own title, when he became "Guy Gardner Warrior". A good almost 10 years ago.

Hmmm the way it looked I knew ot the Guy Guardner Warrior thing Got a couple of them....I just thought he to merged with his ring....does anyone know how he lost it? And if the GL becomes a full member of the JLA it might be kept as John

MAJOR SPOILERS!!!

I just picked up Rann-Thanagar War: Infinite Crisis special. We get our answer to Kyle's power.

It's Jade who dies! Jennifer Hayden. She dies while trying to fight Alexander Luthor's hands in space. She gives back her Lantern power from the ring Kyle gave her back to Kyle. He changes his name back to Ion and is leading the charge against the hands in Infinite Crisis #5. I'm sad! I liked Jade...I'm happy Kyle is powered up and has a new aspect to expand on, but I wish it had been someone else. Although, I do understand her being the choice. It makes me sad...

my response to rachelgrey's spoilerage:

jade was a major whore. she cheated on just about every GL ever made. i hope she dies.

wait.... too late.

anyways, anyone know when this infinite crisis is gonna blow over so i can go buy comics again?

wow that special sounds really good maybe i should pick it up...but either way after IC there isnt going to be a JLA so we dont have to worry about who's the GL of the JLA

I'm pretty sure JLA is getting a revamp after Infinite Crisis like Flash. I think it's supposed to start over at #1 too, although I might be wrong about that part.

Vermillion: Yeah...I can't really argue your point...she kind of is. ;P

... Hal Jordan all the way.

I'm tired of John Stewart as the resident GL, I don't like Guy Gardner, and Kyle Raynor as a character deserves better than he's received, and a JLA appointment is not the best.

I don't care for Hal Jordan, but it'll make for a nice change of pace from what they've had.

The story was told in the recent GL: Rebirth series. Basically, Hal had become possessed and controlled by a being made of fear called Parallax -- which was, in fact, the source of the rings' old weakness to yellow. Parallax had been sealed within the central power battery and the Guardians selected their Corps of only fearless individuals to prevent Parallax's escape. But through Sinestro, who wielded the yellow power ring, Parallax got ahold of Hal Jordan (first causing Hal's old premature grey), infecting the formerly fearless hero with fear and eventually taking full control. As the only GL ever to be acquainted with fear, it was Kyle Rayner who first learned the truth, and set in motion Hal's final return and redemption.

That series was a masterful retcon of a truly shameful bit of character assassination.
