Green Lantern: Movie website is up and running... sort of....

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it right now. The Green Lantern movie will be the Iron Man hit for DC Comics. Meaning, Green Lantern is a character nerds all know, but the general public doesn't. But they will, just like Iron Man, especially with Ryan Reynolds leading the charge as Hal Jordan. Most nerds can name off a handful of Green Lantern characters. Some nerds can even name the sector of the universe Hal, John, Guy, Kyle and Alan protect (2814), but I'll digress. DC Comics has the official Green Lantern movie website up and running... sort of. Check it out, wait and see if something happens beyond the glowing lantern and the epic-orb sound that plays in the background. You can view the website here.

Entertainment Weekly releases Green Lantern pictures

Entertainment Weekly provided a sneak peek into DC Entertainment's latest comic book film Green Lantern. Ryan Reynolds is a strong choice for the lead role as Hal Jordan simply because he fits well with the cocky/no fear persona. The images below look great, but I'm wondering why the suit is designed to look like raw fiber with no black and green contrast? Still too early to tell what the final look will be, so I'll save my criticism for another time. Otherwise, I like what I see. Others aren't too happy with Hal's suit, namely die hard fanboys, complaining about Hal Jordon's suit looking "painted," aka heavy on the CGI. Keep in mind, the suit he wears is alien, a construct that lives within the ring. It's not an "outfit" that he can hang in the closet like Batman or Superman.

On the set with Green Lantern! Sort of?

Don't get too excited, there's really nothing much here beyond plugging New Orleans as a great place to shoot films. It was just cool hearing the news anchor mention Green Lantern.
