ComicBookResources has the preview for issue #3 of DCnU Green Lantern.

Now this still feels like it's continuing the story from back in the DCU... and I am grateful for it.

2 behind the cut.

I don't mind the villain having valid points from time to time, it adds deptjh and resonance to them, but when Sinestro is making perfect sense and I just want to slap the ostensible hero in the face for being a pillock, that's.... not good.

I'm beginning to think that Hal, not Guy, is the one with repeated head trauma. Because that's the only excuse I'd accept for his repeated ..... argh I can't think of a proper word to describe why he annoys me.

actually you're kind of right. There's a website out there that shows back in the Silver Age Hal flew into things head first quite often.

Like I said all while watching the Green Lantern horrible movie:

"Ladies and gentlemen, our 'HERO' "

While doing appropriate sarcastic gestures of course.

I'll cut the movie Hal some slack, not because he looks cute in spandex (Though that never hurts) but because he was very, very new at the whole GL racket.

This, though, is seasoned professional GL Hal who has no excuse.

Really? I didn't when he sent a thousand or so people to unemployment. It's not a case of a bad hero only; it's a case of a bad person who's supposed to be a hero. Ergo my comment:

"Ladies and gentleman, our 'HERO' "

I'm sorry, I've heard you mention this once before, but I have to say that I deeply distrust the judgement of your source.

In a first instance, I'd trust moviebob first. But even excluding that, it must be said that Green Lantern was an awful movie.

I'm not talking bad, I'm not talking horrible; I'm talking 'dragged through the city plaza' awful.

It had bad characters, an awful structurization of a plot, it had sketchy morals and it undermined it's female characters at every turn while at the same time even insulting its male characters by their one-dimensionality. It didn't pick which genre it wanted to fit, it couldn't keep its power and distances concepts constant, it added scenes and clichés left and right that no one should want to see in their right mind.

It had bad CGI, bad 3D, and awful acting(and I, unlike icon, didn't had any proper distractions in spandex to make it minimally compensating). And nothing short of a treatment like the Phantom Edit could save it from the status of awful.

Believe me, there is much more I could still say about this movie, but that would mean I had to re-watch it just to remember all the errors it made.

*phew*

I needed that.

But will Kyle's story continue from the old DCU as well over at New Guardians?
(like having to leave Natu for, gasp, Jade?? Does Jade still exist in the DCnU? Is the old pre-New 52 universe coming back again some day??)

Hey Hal, why don't you just ask Sinestro if you can give her a quick call on the ring. Hasn't it been shown to be capable of calling phones and such in the past? Or just pull out your cell phone and call her....or did you need someone to cosign that bill as well.

Dangit. I'm supposed to like the Heroes but Hal keeps being my least favorite Lantern. And that's including every other spectrum and G'Nort.

"They've tortured and imprisoned my people"
If they're doing it for shits and giggles then I can see why Sinestro might be pissed, but if they're doing it to prove a point then that is EXACTLY the kind of thing he would do. Though, I am just taking that at face value.
Besides that I find myself rooting for him completely. What the hell, Hal?

Remember kids: the Green Lantern rings can do virtually anything EXCEPT MAKE CELL PHONE CALLS, apparently.

I mean, honestly, Hal, you can use the ring to make a call while you're flying en-route? It's a magic freaking wish ring.

While Sinestro is right, he could just give Hal the five minutes, rather than try to stop him for ten minutes.

Nope nope nope. Hal's never really interested me and this isn't really grabbing me. Give me the other Earth Lantern's anyday.

Actually. Give me pretty much any other Lantern and I'll be happy. I have a fondness for a lot of the Rainbow Lanterns.

while ripping Hal is the right of everyone here if they wish, I would like to point out that trying to forcibly conscript someone who's main personality trait is willpower aka stubburness and expecting them to just listen isn't the most brilliant idea in the world.

I'd feel more sympathetic towards Sinestro fretting about his people's suffering if it weren't all his fault to begin with.

I mean, I know he feels betrayed, but come on.

He really does look like he's about to kiss Hal there, or like the gesture is meant to be romantic.
