A cool new panoramic Green Lantern poster has been released and I continue to be more and more amazed at the type of comic book movie is being readied for release. This film seems to be embracing its fantasy roots in ways that most of its predecessors have in some way or another shied away from.
Good or bad, Superman Returns did not present a reality in which Doomsday might hurtle towards Metropolis at any moment. In X-Men there was no expectation that Apocalypse could show up to end reality. And Batman is in no way, shape, or form going to do battle with Mr. Freeze or Poison Ivy in the Christopher Nolan films.
This is not at all an indictment of those movies, but Green Lantern seems to be the first film that makes no qualms about its science-fiction origins. In the wrong hands, the film could have chosen to keep the Green Lantern Corps in the background (or only spoken of them). While fanboys continue to decry the choice of Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan
