John Stewart: Green Lantern Appreciation 2020

[Anthony Shaw]

My first R Lee Ermy movie. i don't think he was acting tho. I also liked Vincent D'Onofrio in this movie.

Wait...that was D'Onofrio?!

IIRC, the Marine incarnation of John Stewart was based off Sgt. Emil Foley (who was a hardcore drill instructor) from the film "An Officer and a Gentleman."

That's right--

And so, just in banging around ideas of what to do with him, going back to the original idea of the Green Lantern Corps—where they’re basically Lensmen [the pulp characters created by E.E. “Doc” Smith]—they’re space cops, they’re space marines. We’re like, “Okay, he’s a military guy.” And then somebody said, “Louis Gossett Jr.—An Officer and a Gentlemen.” I said, “Yeah,” and I went, “Wait a minute—Samuel L. Jackson,” and everyone went, “Yeah!” So that’s kind of who he is. He’s a real rugged, no-nonsense, barking orders kind of Green Lantern—and we love him to pieces. We love him so much [that] he’s like in almost every episode. I predict that you guys are going to love him too.

But I see him more as a Denzel type--

[John]: "You [Manhunter] motherf****rs will be playing basketball in Pelican Bay when I get finished with you. SHU program, n*gg*! Twenty-three-hour lockdown! I’m the man up in this piece! You’ll never see the light of day!"

Thanks for verifying!

I totally forgot where I picked that data from.

We about to get content guys! Endless Winter week one preview

Wow!! This looks great! It feels good to have my favorite character doing action along with other Leaguers.

The artwork looks good. The coloring in those screenshots sticks out. Can't wait to read this!

Yup. Pyle was D'Onofrio.

Are there any character's you'd like to find out John served alongside while he was in the military? Always thought it's be cool if he knew Deadshot before either of them became supers.

Steve Trevor would be cool too.

It's nice see John Stewart making an appearance in Young Justice. To tell you the truth, I didn't expect for someone like Bendis to use John and give him a decent amount of dialogue. I guess I'm surprised, because Bendis always seemed to prefer Hal Jordan. This is a good move by Bendis. And I'm glad he used John in the issue, which means he invested into the character a bit.

Why did you have that original thought about Bendis's preferred GL? He wrote that issue of LoSH that identified John as "the best Lantern ever."



Not to mention, he usually does a good job with black characters, writing them as well and spotlighting them as much as the white ones he writes.

It's because when he first came to DC, he claimed that he's not familiar with any other Green Lanterns, other than Hal Jordan. So he used Hal Jordan often as guest appearances in his Superman titles. He's known for doing good with black characters over at Marvel and I expected him to deal with black characters here, except for characters like John (because of the reasons above). So I was a little surprised that John would have decent dialogue as a guest star. I do know John was made brief appearances on his title only because I thought he had no choice, since John is a leaguer now. But maybe he's actually fond of the character more now than ever. So that's a good sign.

MSNBC had an interview with Jason Johnson and guess who's in the background

John!!!!!

Which is the best statue to get of his?

It's nice to see John Stewart in the background! I believe this was shown multiple of times whenever Jason Johnson gets interviewed.
