[@whiterunguard3456]

no matter how much hate the Green Lantern movie gets. we can all agree that Mark Strong was the perfect casting choice for Sinestro.

[@joshie6213]

Agreed. He absolutely looked the part

[@john976431]

Someone at WB needs to make this up to strong A.S.A.P

[@WHSuperman2005]

I loved GL

[@Musicube.]

The movie was good tho

[@popamonkey190]

FOR REAL! Best possible casting for Sinestro in that movie!

[@Powerman77775]

Sinestro uses fear to bring peace and he's a villain. Batman uses fear to bring peace and he's hero. Why? Because he's BATMAN!

[@nopens]

+Powerman77775 Because batman uses fear to prevent criminal from doing crimes and sinestro uses power of fear to punish everyone, even peaceful people. He also kills a lot more than batman.

[@Powerman77775]

Pretty sure Batman doesn't kill at all.

[@nopens]

***** Tell that to poor Liam NIssen's character. Or all those ninjas in in a mountain temple.

[@FugieGamers]

+Gekkouga Batman inflicts fear to criminals, sinestro inflicts fear to everyone

[@sgt_subtext2391]

+Full dank No. Batman uses fear on everyone equally. He wittily intimidates fellow Justice League members, he frightens Gordan and most of the police force, and he teaches small children to instill fear in their enemies as well.

[@LuxBellator92]

Sinestro's backstory is fascinating. Such an interesting villain.

[@superstarultra28]

Wish he got more attention.

[@justsomeguywithabeardx]

I wonder what the Guardians were thinking when they inducted Sinestro into the Green Lantern Corps. "This guy looks like a French villain who ran away from the sets of one of Sean Connerys James Bond films and his name is Sinestro, there's no way he could be evil, right?"

[@pewdiepiefan3639]

You copied my profile! But I really like that half moustache.

[@revanruler6404]

to be fair the guardians are morons so....

[@ulrickbell9409]

He wasn't always evil. "One incident can change a lifetime."

[@justsomeguywithabeardx]

@@ulrickbell9409 he found an injured alien and took his ring to fight off enemies. Then when the alien asked for his ring back, he killed the guy. Seems to me like Sinestro was always evil, he just didn't have the power to embrace his true self.

[@DCUniverse816]

I doubt that guardians or the other GLs were familiar with such Earth concepts

[@8Exceed]

Sinestro is my favorite Lantern and in my top five villains in DC. He's an amazing and complex character, and I have yet to see anyone use a ring as well as he could. In the story Comicstorian was referring to about how he went against his own Corps for becoming villains, he supplied Hal Jordan(who was fired as a GL at the time) and the rest of his people of his home world with their own GL rings made from just his willpower which they all used to escape and dominate the Yellow Lanterns. That's how much of a BAMF this guy is.

[@bourguibaadam2507]

"In blackest day, in brightest night, Beware your fears made into light. Let those who try to stop what's right Burn like my power--Sinestro's might!"

[@bambehdeluxe8751]

Was that from No Fear? I got a bunch of the omnibuses I can't remember what one that was from, but that was a REALLY awesome story

[@alexchapman2092]

I wish Sinestro one day will get his own movie, I know villains/anti-heros don't tend to get solo movies but he's the one I'd hope the most for.

[@loganrenfrow2544]

Alex Chapman The Punisher got 2 movies.

[@gorillazdoesgaming7486]

Logan Renfrow Punisher is a anti hero

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

I like villains that do evil things but not because they are dicks and are doing it just cuz. Sinestro has good intentions at heart, he just goes about them wrong but he isn't trying to be a dickbag because he is a prick, he wants to help the universe and feels his way is the best. Makes a more interesting villain than evil for evil's sake.

[@masterchief8637]

[@comicstorian]

Man I love me some Sinestro, Do you? Anyone have current Marvel single hero story arcs they are interested in? Im looking to explain the heroes arcs more in depth for the lesser known heroes like I did the Flash. So right now Im looking at The Secret Origin of Tony Stark, Ms Marvel 1-8 And the Guardians of the Galaxy Symboite arc thats ending soon.

I'm really confused why all these green lanterns who give known characters their rings, always are in a space ship. Can't they fly through space with ease? Why do the need spaceships?

[@luisalejandrolopezbuendia9686]

Well, Abin Sur was transporting Atrocitus and this one was..... I don't know, lazy I guess

[@thirdplanet4471]

Ah my six month old post, when I thought that US voters would never actually vote a supervillain into the whitehouse. The power of Fear is easier to give in to than fight, I guess.

What is it

[@Numidium_]

If anyone wants to know anything about Fear ask H.P. Lovecraft. He will summon fear into one monster. True story. Finally, the Sinestro Corp is composed of beast like creatures to spread fear which is logically fallacious. The Corp doesn’t need to be entirely made up of animals, but humans who understand the meaning of fear. It’s sad how the concept fear is being misrepresented.
