Geoff Johns on Green Lantern Corps and Rebooting the Character

[@Kevinstripe]

WOW! I didn't know Kristian Harloff was doing a Green Lantern movie!

[@BROTHA891]

Fred Rogers lmfaooo 😂😂

[@LDDivision]

YES!!! I totally thought that was Harloff until he started taking.... and then again about a minute-in 😂😂😂😂

[@game9848]

Johns family is from Lebanon. Harloff family from Germany.

[@maxs2d2ace]

Lmao i died

[@skullface2694]

Say what you want about the old green lantern movie.... Mark Strong made a good sinestro....

[@SuperShanko]

SKULLFACE Yea. Even looked really good.

[@imyoursuperbeast8220]

I even thought Reynolds was a decent green lantern. Just bad script and CGI

[@skullface2694]

I'm your Superbeast .. I agree.. although Reynolds wouldn't have been my first choice...

[@RustyKoi]

He was the highlight for me. Love that he's playing the baddie in Shazam now. Luke Evans is my choice for the next Sinestro. :)

[@SM-rn8sq]

I want Luke Evans

[@SilhouetteofDarkseid]

You already know geoff hated the last green lantern movie just from how he sounds

[@jeremyroberts8822]

## Shhh she shouldn’t hate it too much he was a big part of it

[@SilhouetteofDarkseid]

jeremy roberts yeah with 7 other people

[@jeremyroberts8822]

## Shhh doesn’t matter how many people were involved the point is he was heavily involved in the creative process as well as being a producer on it so don’t get your hopes up. He is a great comic writer but movies are much different and he isn’t gettin it done

[@marcozolo3536]

jeremy roberts the same can be said about Kevin Feige

[@ValentinasWatching]

John Carter exactly!

[@Hatingmeisconforming]

Damn dude your just getting all the good interviews.

[@glosoya1095]

I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with Green Lantern.

[@joeyriver9632]

Glenn . Personally same, because the ryan reynolds one was bad but im also forward to what they do for the new one in 2020.

[@HellfireClub242]

After a serious false start, DC seems to be heading in the right direction. I love what I've seen with Aquaman and Shazam. And with the Green Lantern Corps, Flash, Cyborg and hopefully Hawkman, the DC Universe is showing promise.

[@asch7906]

False start my ass. Meddling mid-production was a mistake.

[@TTx04xCOBRA]

@@asch7906 Bvs was fucking horrible, deal with it

[@asch7906]

I don't give a fuck about your opinion, deal with it.

[@TTx04xCOBRA]

[@asch7906]

I don't give a rat's ass about any of them, jackhole.

[@rocko0214]

I'm so glad Geoff Johns got his focus on what he's writing. He's a freaking creative genious, that`s what he`s supose to be doing.

[@jtjdrums]

Roger Moncada his dodgy Darkseid War with the weirdly convoluted storyline, zero humour, and dark Superman...hmmmmm. 🤔

[@joeygula581]

I wish Chef John's also wrote

[@ther3aper561]

Having Geoff in a more creative role is far better imo than having him as the chief in charge of it all. Geoff is a Joss Whedon sort of guy and not Feige, so I hope this is where the DCEU starts to flourish.

[@ArcaneSorceror]

Honestly I think Geoff was labelled as the chief in charge, but Snyder would ignore him.

[@asch7906]

Snyder ignored Geoff because Geoff's "edgy" New 52 influences were gonna suck.

[@ArcaneSorceror]

Because the DCEU flourished under Snyder... Floundered, sorry.

[@asch7906]

You think Incredible Hulk made the MCU flourish? Go wash your glasses.

[@ArcaneSorceror]

No, but it did get the ball rolling. Personally, I enjoyed Incredible Hulk. I admit it is not the greatest movie out there, superhero or otherwise, but I found it enjoyable.

[@danteex9677]

Announce Man of Steel 2 already!!!

[@tom4md123]

DanteEx who are you talking to?

[@wiso8693]

DanteEx we've just entered DC phase 2 aka just move foward & learn from their mistakes and sequels/prequels are on the way

[@sonicadriano6145]

Bizzaro will main villain in MoS 2

[@SM-rn8sq]

His run on GL was so good so I really hope that this movie is good too

[@dondraper3898]

"Meanwhile, at the halls of DC Comics Injustice..." Didio and Bendis are destroying all the goodwill DC Rebirth brought with it

[@dondraper3898]

Tom King ain't helping matters either

[@LicoriceLain]

I am only as far as the first volumes of Rebirth (not made of money or time), so I don't know what you mean. I DO know that I trust Bennet, Tynion and pretty much everyone involved in the books beyond Bats and Supes.

[@dondraper3898]

LicoriceLain From what I have heard, WB asked Johns to fix DC Comics when 52 stopped selling and Didio had no say. Since then, they had Tomasi on Superman and Johns was keeping King in line (even stepping in, uncredited, for The Button). When Bull-In-The-China-Shop Bendis took over on Man of Steel and King was all on his own on Batman, leading to issue #50, it's hard to stay optimistic. Plus, nobody knows what the hell is going on with Doomsday Clock other than it comes out whenever it wants to

[@dondraper3898]

Snyder and Capullo's Dark Knights Metal was pretty cool though. I'm not always up to date but this guy usually is (even though I don't always agree) kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4u5pYatebJ4o6M

[@redwolf19k45]

Don Draper Hey DC comics might gone downhill but imo it's still better than marvel comics right now. Batman beyond,teen titans,flash,red hood and the outlaws are great. The new justice league title also seems to be good. There's no defending King's batman anymore though. 49 issues of development all cast aside because batman cant be happy

[@thesimcave1340]

I like what he said about the suit as far as being tangible, love the idea of a real suit with cg enhancements... wonder if the movie will tie in with JL, my guess would be a post credit scene of some kind. Who's your favorite for the lead???

[@talondiwisch5206]

I liked the CGI suits. I thought they looked great. Also, the suits are supposed to be made of pure energy so wearing an actual suit, doesn’t make a lot of sense. It explained this in the movie’s special features.

[@bamm86]

Please somebody hit me with the link to the video where Schnepp said this, "There is no hatred allowed in our world of the imagination. we are the strong minded and the accepting of all races, all thoughts, all beliefs."

[@Zlock222]

I hope it's about the green lantern vs the yellow lanterns

[@Gothic83]

And then the other problem will be paying ryan Reynolds not to trash it before it comes out but glad to hear he is taking his time to get this one right

[@mygetawayart]

I hope for the suit they'll stick with these very comic book accurate suites they've been making recently. Practical with some CG enhancements is the way to go. Skin tight suit as close to the comics' design as possible with the CG emblem lighting up and maybe even sticking off the chest a little. The ring and the eyes too (not the mask though), with a glow/aura around the whole body when they go in space. It's much more doable than a totally CG suit.

[@trevorr70]

Yes! Get Peter Jackson or Dennis Vellenuve to direct.

[@asch7906]

Villeneuve* He's too busy with Dune.

[@trevorr70]

Deusirae79 He has been rumored for a DC movie for awhile...

[@asch7906]

Yeah, but he's busy with Dune as we speak. Later, we'll see.

[@asch7906]

I hope that Spielberg Blackhawk gets real some day.

[@Lantern_Matt_2814]

with Peter Jackson, people will get the trilogy that Geoff Johns did for Green Lantern Rebirth, Sinestro War, Blackest Night (Blackest Night being further down the line.....possibly 10 years)

[@joeygula581]

It seems like DC was about to write off Hal Jordan for good but Jeff John to resurrected him once and for all making him a true mainstay just like Barry Allen was resurrected cuz the flash from 1985 to 2009 was not Barry Allen

[@oatmat]

please let John Stewart have a big part or the biggest part, he also has the best chemistry with other DC characters and should be the main GL on the Justice League

[@ValentinasWatching]

The RED Samurai he's hinted at being based on his New 52. He said those who have read it should know. So I'm thinking John will have a big part. I know Hal is in it too.

[@waynebeauford2334]

it should be john by himself

[@Shallowwhisper]

There is a reason why John will always be in Hal’s shadow...

[@waynebeauford2334]

Shallowwhisper ofcoarse its a reason why jon is disrespected

[@Buzz32123]

John is awesome but so is Hal man, I'd rather they weren't pitted against eachother but instead we got a buddy-cop movie with them.

[@Yukooo333]

Please be Hal Jordan as the main 😢👉👈

[@ClayInMyBeer]

I loved Geoff's run on GL, cant wait for the movie!

[@regularcobra7619]

Series

[@romes7494]

Geoff Johns, wasn't behind writing or was invole in making Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern. He was only a consultant or the comic book guy that stop by on set nothing more.

[@redwolf19k45]

Rome 87 Exactly. Batman's creator bob kane was also a consultant on batman and robin. Look how well that film turned out

[@gojiraprime7461]

A good funny Batman movie?

[@nicolasbazzano2028]

I’m hoping, based on the interview, that we don’t waste another movie with GLs origin story, but just get going.

[@johnconiglio9278]

Lol that chuckle from Geoff says it all!

[@monotoneguy7279]

I want a serious Green Lantern film, like Earth One. Doesn't have to be gritty just serious and epic.

[@CruderQuotient1]

That background is so distracting. So many wrinkles

[@michaelbuckelew]

A CG suit isn’t a problem if it’s done well. In Man of Steel, Zod’s armor was CG.

[@kylep007]

I would really like to see Rocksteady make a Green Lantern game now that they’ve done Batman. Make it more like an RPG where different builds give different energy construct abilities. Boss fights against other power ring users like Sinestro, Atrocitus, and Larfleeze could be really interesting.

[@neilvarma]

Bring on lantern

[@mattscott476]

Loved Frostys gentle “call out” to DC, letting them know we don’t want CGI suits lol good job!!

[@cameronsingletary8941]

YES!! THIS MAN NEEDS TO BE WRITING Thats why all his comics are awesome and they need to quite giving so many studio notes to water shit down

It's just fitting that Geoff Johns will write and shepherd the GL Corps film..... his GL writing is always top notch.

[@lfdrumming7804]

Is he also responsible for the Titans show?

[@kevinjohnson323]

Green Lantern was very early with their CG suit work, just three years after Iron Man. Metals and solid surfaces are simpler for CG, but I think a digital GL suit would be easier to pull off with today's effects. Hopefully, DC has learned from Marvel about the importance of fidelity to character. No more *Dude Lantern* and the Bro Lantern Corps.

[@TheMoonKingdom]

Great questions:)

[@somemistakes6091]

Just give us "the real" Hal Jordan and we will be happy

[@Dandemora]

I love Nathan but sadly no...Hal should not be quipping all the time...just want a faithful adaptation of his character from the comics

[@Dandemora]

So, who do you think should play?

[@Shallowwhisper]

If anyone can redeem the GL brand it’s Geoff.

[@stoneyrowland8777]

hopefully they reboot the flashs goofy ass way he looks when he runs.

[@RebelKingfrom1995]

Geoff Johns got that fire!!! Green Lantern Corps 2020

[@ICESTORM5150]

Green Lantern fans deserve a great movie !!

[@moist_captain]

I really hope they get the casting of Hal Jordan right because the DC cast has been perfect so far.

[@eliteles1]

Matthew Goode would give an excellent Hall Jordan Green Lantern. I love the series the Discovery of Witches(2018) and he as the wonderful vampire Matthew de Claimont.

[@martfp88]

The suit is the least of the worries at this point in pre production....

[@menswear2112]

I’ll take anything at this point, I just want to see it!

They need to adapt green lantern earth one into a a green lantern corps movie. The whole book into one movie. Not a two parter or trillogy. Just one awesome movie. You know what? I think I'm gonna go read GL earth 1 right now

[@Fassnight]

Love Geoff, can't wait for his GL movie

[@thealjohnsonshow2188]

Hopefully, this new Green Lantern movie is infinitely better than the original. The original 2011 flick with Ryan Reynolds is a guilty pleasure of mine. It introduced me to Blake Lively and Taika Waititi. Geoff Johns also needs to redeem himself for that fatal mistake.

[@kennethmiller3225]

why? maybe he can't do movies there's a difference between comics and movies

Green lantern doesn't work well on screen, at least not on the big screen as a solo movie. Some characters are more suited for comic books.That's why no matter how many fantastic four movies, or punisher movies, or hulk movies come out, they were not very successful. Green lantern is that type of character.
