Hal Jordan: Green Lantern Appreciation 2019

Hal choosing this name is a perfect decision! I love this book more every issue.

WHOA! Hardcore!

If they do, I hope Nathan Fillion gets to do it. I've been checking out his new TV show, The Rookie, and I'd forgotten how good he can be when he isn't just asked to be charming and witty. Fillion has dramatic chops.

It can go either way, but who knows, maybe Hal could have a better success as a villain in the movies than he did as a hero. At least there would be a place for him and the Parallax design would look neat in live-action.

It was nice to see Hal in Doomsday clock. He even got a few lines too.

(Captain Atom even).

It's always nice to see Geoff Johns touches on Hal too.

That's a pretty sad thought .

[Johnny]

At least he would have a presence and the subsequent redemption story worked well in the comics, so it could work well in the movies too.

And naturally that didn't go anywhere.

[j9ac9k]

Maybe the Arrow-verse will correct the egregious error of the original "Crisis" and actually have Hal pop up! (even a cameo would be better than what Hal got in the comic)

[Frontier]

And naturally that didn't go anywhere.

At least he's a physical body. That's more then Ted Kord got...

Just saw Captain Marvel. At least one pilot was done right in a superhero movie.

To be honest the more I think about it the more I see the similarities between the two characters.

If memory serves (a risky proposition at my advanced age), early on in Geoff Johns' run, Hal's call sign was "Highball". An homage to his drinking problem waaaaaaaaaay back in James Owsley's Emerald Dawn graphic novel?

Interesting, I wasn't aware it was an homage to ED. "Highball" for Hal and "Sapphire" for Carol. Who would've thought about the latter, eh?

Eh, do I have to explain this in every thread? This is the third time.

Umm... It is a common misunderstanding that Hal was drunk driving in Emerald Dawn. If you take a look at the panel Hal actually did not touch his beer. The pitcher was full. Priest, who wrote the script of the first issue, emphasized that in his novel when he rewrote that plot. Hal didn't drink. That's why he was driving while everyone else was drunk. And that's why Hal claimed himself innocent all along.

Isn't it absurd that a man with the strongest willpower in the universe has drinking problem?
BTW, Highball came from Darwyn Cooke's New Frontier, corresponding to Martin's callsign "Flying Martini".
