Hal Jordan, one of the most famous faces in the dc universe. Venture with me as I tell the tale of a young boy that was destined for greatness. Unlike its counterpart movie Green lantern with Ryan Reynolds, this story goes into more of the background of Hal Jordan. As you can see there are familiar faces in this film, you might recognize the main character Hal Jordan's actor, (Tobey Maguire) From the Sam Rami franchise of SPIDER-MAN. I chose this actor because of the way he brought light on spider-mans comic origin, I wanted to see what he could do in the dc universe. In a way that gives us a nostalgic feeling seeing him on screen, kids later will share the same experience we did but with green lantern. Getting all of that out of the way, this story not only tells the story of Hal Jordan life but has an action packed story that is a new take on the character. In this story Hal Jordan still finds the ring after being given it from a former green lantern by the name of Abin. After this, Hal Jordan meets the green lantern corps which have needed another lantern after loosing one by the name of Sinestro. Well that is basically the preview of the start, I will add more later : )
