It’s much easier to make a Superman or Batman film than a Green Lantern film.
I really explored self-awareness and emotions through ‘Green Lantern.’ It might sound goofy, but I do believe that emotions have power. We’re all driven by something, and most of that is emotional reaction. For me, it was about recognizing my self-awareness.
Our national purpose, not our party differences, must define the American Brand. We must change the conversation from one centered around what defines our differences to one that hangs a lantern on what binds us, supports our collective well being and makes us all stronger and more productive as a result.
I’m really proud of all the stuff we’ve built with Green Lantern – from Larfleeze to the different corps. The universe has expanded and will live well past my run. It was more than just telling another story, but really giving back to the character by expanding and adding to their mythology.
As long as Green Lantern is still dealing with fear, it’s going to be relevant. ‘Rebirth’ really grew out of 9/11. 9/11 happened, and then two years later, I was writing about fear. It was obviously connected.
I’ve been writing ‘Green Lantern’ for a long time, and one of the reasons I’ve enjoyed it is because the depth of stories you can tell is pretty endless with space and everything.
Clearly, Simon Baz brings such a different viewpoint to ‘Green Lantern.’ The very nature of the corps concept of overcoming fear, I felt Simon was a great character to explore, while getting a different viewpoint on things.
I think ‘Green Lantern’ has the potential to be a very highly regarded superhero movie. We’re approaching it with such respect and such care.
‘Flashpoint’ is a showcase to demonstrate why the Flash is a major character, just like how we’ve done with Green Lantern. It’s important that the Flash can hold his own.
Someone told me that there’s a connection to Superman, that in an early edition of the Green Lantern comics, Tomar Re was the envoy to Krypton. That was fascinating to me.
‘The Green Lantern’ seems a little calculated to me. It’s like, ‘We’ve got to get on this gay bandwagon and make this character gay.’ Like anything else, there’s earnest expressions in the culture and then there’s kind of bandwagoning.
I had a toy theater and a magic lantern, and when I was eight I built a stage for theatricals in the attic.
I read The Flash. I read Green Lantern. I loved Batman.
Batman is pretty much a self-trained guy. I think it would be fun to do a character like Superman or Captain Marvel or maybe Green Lantern, somebody who’s got a completely different resource for fighting crime and fighting villains.
Faith means living with uncertainty – feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.
To me, Green Arrow in the past, what people loved about Oliver Queen pre-New 52 was his relationships with other heroes. Like his friendship with Green Lantern, his animosity with Hawkman, his romance with Black Canary – these are all the things that sort of defined him.
When you have a Green Lantern mixing with a foil like Batman, you get scenes that are comic-book history. There’s the epicness of it all.
My very worst day on ‘Green Lantern’ was nowhere near as difficult as my finest day on ‘Buried.’
Roja Dove – who, at 58, is a stock-straight six feet and handsome with lantern jaw, blue eyes, and impeccably combed silvering hair on the sides of an otherwise tanned bald head – may possess the finest nose in the world.
When I meet thousands of fans of the comic – when I realize every one of them can recite the Lantern Corps oath (‘In Brightest Day, in blackest night…’) – I know how important this is to people.
I didn’t know the Green Lantern comics at all. I was a Superman reader.
Idle is the day and lantern the hour as I delight in the splendor of your kiss grog.
The ocean is 90% unexplored. It’s a great canvas to paint Aquaman stories across, just like Green Lantern has space. It’s more organic, which makes it different and interesting. It’s alien, but it’s terrestrial.
The similarity between Iron Man and Green Lantern is, unlike Superman or any of the X-Men or Spider-Man, anyone can be Green Lantern or Iron Man. All you need is the ring or the suit.
So many heroes are driven by destiny. Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, they were all chosen and born to heroism. Even with Batman, it doesn’t feel like Bruce could do anything else. His whole life was leading him to become the Dark Knight.
I created lots of characters in high school and college, and the first character I created in pro comics was Liana, Green Lantern of M’Elu, for a backup story in ‘Green Lantern #162,’ my first professional sale.
I had definitely missed the literary development game with Paper Lantern Lit, and writing exclusively wasn’t giving me complete fulfillment.
There’s a famous tension between Green Lantern and Green Arrow in the comic books. Those guys have always been friends. They started off as not on the same page, and then they quickly became best friends.
‘Green Lantern’ I screen-tested for twice. I fought for the role. And I’m glad I did, because I felt like I earned it.
If you compare it to ‘Batman’ and ‘Superman,’ the world of ‘Green Lantern’ is way bigger and potentially way more interesting in a lot of ways, I think.
