History WMG / GreenLantern

** Green Lantern stand-alone stories take place in the Amalgam Universe. (Franchise/StarTrek is fictional in Franchise/TheDCUniverse, but is real in the MarvelUniverse.)

** Jossed. As it turns out, the Ring Slayers [[spoiler: are the Keepers, a race of beings hailing from the planet where every Lantern's power battery is stored, before it's pulled from HammerSpace for the daily recharge. Evolving with the power batteries lying around, they became both dependent on their energies and immune to the effects of green HardLight. The Green Lanterns defeated them by blowing up 2 Sinestro Corps members, scaring the Keepers into submission.]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs Go figure]].

It has been suggested (for instance, in ''The Science of Superheroes'') that the weakness against yellow could not be properly explained by any real attribute of the Main/GreenLanternRing itself. Also, Kyle Rayner, who was not properly educated about the weapon, had no weakness to yellow.

The Great Darkness existed before existence, is considered the UltimateEvil of the DC universe, has been confused/associated with the Anti-Monitor in the past, and most revealing of all, is represented by a colossal black hand! The symbol for the Black Lantern is the Black Hand. Geoff Johns has also referenced Alan Moore's work numerous times in the past.

[[WMG:Jordan's resignation was never accepted in the first place.]]
* After all, we never heard Tomar-Re, Sinestro and Kilowog's reaction to that statement and they would never have let him keep the ring and battery in that situation. Furthermore, when Jordan returned to Oa to speak with the Guardians, no one says anything to him about trespassing or still using the ring. Tomar-Re likely said:
-->'''Tomar-Re''': Hal Jordon, we can't accept your resignation that easily, but you obviously need a break. May I suggest you go home with the ring for now and come back when you've sorted out your feelings on this matter.
-->'''Hal Jordan''': You mean you trust a newbie like me with this weapon just like that?
-->'''Tomar-Re''': Yes, provided you don't cause any trouble with it, I do.
** The other lanterns insisted that the ring always chooses a worthy wielder and perhaps in the movie universe one cannot choose to give it up or the Guardians do not step in to take it away until the wearer becomes unworthy. That ought to make the sequel interesting regarding Sinestro [[spoiler: because he isn't shown giving up the green ring when he dons the yellow one, so that means he has ''both.'']]

[[WMG:The movie takes place in an Elseworld.]]
In this case, a ForWantOfANail situation involving Krona's relationship with Parallax. In the comics, Krona was merely a Maltusian physicist, who created the DC multiverse while trying to find the Creator. In the movie, Krona took an interest in the electromagnetic spectrum rather than the Big Bang, and so discovered and allied with Parallax. In response, the Corps formed earlier to both combat this menace and mobilize those who would otherwise be helpless victims.

[[WMG:Deadpool is posing as several movie critics in order to stop Green Lantern from getting a sequel.]]
Why? He wants Ryan Reynolds all to himself.
* Sure sounds like something Wade would do.

[[WMG:''Series/GossipGirl'' is really the origin story of Star Sapphire]]
* There is no Serena Van Der Woodsen. Carol Ferris kept up another name, or personality, in her formative years to find herself. Her romantic tendencies and behavior end up being a magnet for the Star Sapphire's mis-read of human emotions. Its notion of love is just as bugout insane as hers.

[[WMG:The next (or possibly a third) movie will be based on ComicBook/BlackestNight.]]

[[WMG:"''Justice League''" will ''not'' ignore Green Lantern]]
They'll just retool the style so GL will look cooler. They'll explain it with CharacterDevelopment.

[[WMG:The sequel will feature the other three Green Lanterns.]]
Following his [[Series/{{Firefly}} sudden but inevitable betrayal]], the Corps will recruit three other humans, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Kyle Rayner, to help Hal Jordan fight Sinestro.

[[WMG:The sequel will have Carol recast with a much better (and less annoying) actress.]]
Not so much a guess as a '''''[[Creator/BillHicks fervent prayer]]'''''. Taking Creator/BlakeLively out of the equation can only improve things immensely.

[[WMG:The sequel will be a soft reboot in the vein of ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'', starring a different Green Lantern.]]
* Instead of Parallax, the sequel/reboot will mention the first villain he fight as GL is the alien HiveMind Legion. Parallax will be saved for future sequels if they wish to adapt certain GL storylines. Legion might turn out to a henchman working for the Five Inversions.

[[WMG:Warner Brothers will focus on a H'lvenite Green Lantern character to interest the audience in the ''Green Lantern'' property]]
After the failure of Ryan Reynolds to interest the mainstream audience in the ''Green Lantern'' franchise, then the outstanding popularity of Rocket Raccoon in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' could suggest another way. Namely, the closest equivalent in Franchise/TheDCU to Rocket is Green Lantern Ch'p or his successor, B'dg, so WB may well decide that a cute BadassAdorable kicking butt with a power ring might be just the way to appeal to the general moviegoing public.

[[WMG: They got the ''Film/GreenLantern'' movie wrong.]]
Everyone knows the [[ComicBook/BoosterGold Green Lantern]] has a robot sidekick that oddly enough sounds like [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Phillip J Fry]] and wears a blue and yellow costume.
* Seems like the same executives responsible for [[Film/XMenOriginsWolverine Dudepeel]] messed up another comic character played by Creator/RyanReynolds.

[[WMG: ''Film/SupermanReturns'' takes place in the same reality as ''Series/Supergirl2015'' and ''Film/GreenLantern''.]]
You'd need to fudge around with the timeline a bit to make this work, but...

1966: Kara is born on Krypton.

1978: Krypton explodes, Kara goes into suspended animation, and Clark is born.

1997: Clark begins secretly operating as Superman.

1999: Clark takes a job at the Daily Planet. He meets Lois Lane and, depending on how old he is, Jimmy Olsen.

2002: Clark publicly debuts as Superman. His first act of public heroism is saving a plane, effectively preventing a second 9/11.

2003: Clark finds Kara's pod and brings her to the Danvers family.

2006: Superman discovers that Krypton may not actually have been destroyed. He flies off to Krypton to find it.

2010: The events of ''Green Lantern'' occur.

At some unspecified time, Hal Jordan either retires as Green Lantern or leaves Earth, or is otherwise prevented from openly using his powers.

2011: Superman returns, and this is when the movie actually takes place.

At some point, Richard dies, Lois and Clark get married, and Clark decides to take time off from full-time superheroing to look after his son. That's why Superman doesn't show up except during emergencies during Supergirl.

2015: The events of ''Supergirl'' begin.

** Of please, he's too CrazyAwesome to die
*** Even if he does, he'll be CrazyAwesome enough to become a sentient orange construct.

[[WMG:Series/GossipGirl is really the origin story of Star Sapphire]]

[[WMG: Hal Jordan was always crazy]]
All the way back in Showcase #22, Hal says that Abin Sur told him to take his uniform before he died - but we never saw this. In other words, Hal Jordan undressed a dead alien and put on those same clothes. That's all the proof anyone needs that Hal Jordan is insane.

[[WMG: [[Film/SupermanReturns Superman Returns]] takes place in the same reality as [[Series/Supergirl2015 Supergirl]] and [[Film/GreenLantern Green Lantern]].]]

[[WMG:Shades of the emotional spectrum]]
Just like real colors the emotional spectrum has variants past the primary colors representing subsets or even mixing of the primary emotions, reds rage could differ from the primal fury of most into righteous wrath or malicious hatred , love could be divided into platonic, romantic, lust, usually these dont have any actual affect but those aligned strongly to one of these shades rarely develop deviations from those normal to a lantern, such as rankorr keeping his sanity as a red lantern or driqs ring being able to revive him, the Dawnbreaker is an example of one ring tapping into another, or lack of in this case, he retained will power and the drive to act but for the most part felt empty of other emotions to act on,he states himself it wasent that he overcame fear but that the emotion was obliterated from him, he is tapping into the black "light" of death hence his dark based powers and absorbing light,

[[WMG:The "Guardians" are not the real Guardians.]]

The actual Guardians are dead ever since Hal Jordon got possessed by Paralax and destroyed them along with most of the Green Lantern Corps. Kyle Rayner never brought the Guardians back, he merely created a facsimile of them based on what little he knew of them. This is also why the Guardians grow steadily more unreliable and even psychopathic after their "resurrection," they're a bunch of fakes forced into a role they were never actually suited for. Proof is in the fact that they don't even remember why they decided to police the cosmos in Blackest Night despite that being well established. They don't know because they're fakes just making it up as they go along.

[[WMG:Not all of the Lanterns of any Corps, excluding the Orange, were originally sentient.]]
When you consider one Green ring chose a Lantern from a species of horse named Brin (albeit not from Earth), and didn't specify whether his successor, T-Cher, was built before or after being chosen; and that a Red ring was able to work on an average Earth cat, it makes the fact that there are so many animal-shaped Lanterns in each Corps without opposable thumbs, or even limbs for that matter, more obvious that some of them are animals.
