You guys sure about this yeah whatever
you put these kids in real danger
Wait! We need to stick together!
Welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my new Green Lantern trailer
video they just teased another new Green Lantern being minted by Alan Scott's old
Green Lantern battery so we'll break it down there's a bunch of Easter eggs that
get into what's going on with Green Lantern in the larger DC Universe the
stuff that they're doing in the arrowverse with the Green Lantern
characters the stuff that's happening with the HBO Green Lantern and then the
Justice League Snider cut version of the Hal Jordan Green Lantern so I'll explain
everything that's going on because believe it or not there is still a big
Green Lantern Corps movie that DC is planning on making I've also got a lot
of questions about what's going on with the mysterious janitor who everyone
thinks is dr. fate I think it's a good guess so I'll talk about him at the end
of the video too careful
if you're not familiar with Alan Scott's back story in the comics he became a
Green Lantern in a very different way from say like Hal Jordan Jon Stewart the
other modern-day Green Lantern Corps members the reason why the Green Lantern
battery is glowing is because the starheart has recognized its next user that
means that the show is just teasing that we're going to find out who this next Green
Lantern is going to be I have a lot of theories about that because of the way
that they're selecting the new members of the modern-day Justice Society but
the whole idea here is that this battery is actually made from the starheart an
experimental weapon developed by the Owens that then came to Planet Earth as
a meteorite was found in ancient China someone fashioned a lantern battery
around it than the original green lantern that you saw during episode one
they teased him here but we haven't actually seen him walk past the camera
yet Alan Scott found this Lantern battery in because the starheart is
this sentience it told him how to fashion his own Green
Lantern ring from the battery and then that's how he became a Green Lantern so
whereas modern-day Green Lantern's have to go back to OA to the main power
battery to recharge their rings Alan Scott uses this Lantern battery to
recharge himself cool Easter Egg from the Justice League Snyder cut - this is
actually kind of tying things to the movies so if you remember the Green
Lantern from the big Darkseid war flashback that's yeah Langer he was the
Green Lantern of Earth's sector about 2,000 years ago when he died his body
was so powerful that he was taken back to OA and his body became part of the
starheart so his body is part of what powers this Lantern battery here on the
TV show Geoff Johns did tease that they are going to do a version of green lantern
on the show just like they're doing new versions of all these characters like
the new hour man the new star girl all the other new characters but here's the
thing in a lot of cases the new members of the Justice Society they're taking up
the mantle of these old heroes or sometimes their children sometimes
they're not their children but in the case of Alan Scott Green Lantern he does
have biological children that are part of previous TV Justice Society stories
one of them is obsidian he was a boy the other one was Jade a girl obsidian
was featured on legends of tomorrow during season two he was actually played
by Lance Henriksen so it was a much older version of the character most of
the bigger Jade comic book stories were during the Kyle Rayner Green Lantern era
when he became the main version of Green Lantern
but the whole concept with this Justice Society TV show is that a lot of the
Justice Society members had secret families with children who they didn't
tell their secrets to so you have a lot of kids growing up not knowing that
their parents were famous superheroes most of these Justice Society artifacts
they stole from the Hall of Justice are either alive or they have magical
properties so they can sense when their next user is nearby like our man's
hourglass starts glowing when it comes near his son so that's why the Green
Lantern battery is glowing it senses that the next Green Lantern is somewhere
nearby and it's probably early prediction going to be Jade we haven't
seen her on the TV show as far as we know she could just be a background
character the way Geoff Johns talks about it it sounds like he has bigger
green lantern plans on the TV show for next season but they haven't been
renewed for season two yet all they've really said about the HBO Green Lantern
series is that it's not going to be connected to a lot of the air over stuff
it'll be more connected to what's going on in the future DC movies it'll be
super big-budget they'll be doing a version of Hal Jordan Jon Stewart in
Sinestro and it'll cover a couple of different time periods early prediction
that's just because they want to do how Jordan's backstory they want to do
sinestro's backstory which obviously takes place way further in the past from
how Jordan's backstory but they also want to do Jon Stewart's origin story
which takes place a long time after Hal Jordans origin story they didn't say how
many episodes is going to be but because they're spending so much money on it I'm
assuming it'll only be six to eight episodes per season but it does sound
like it will run for multiple seasons it's not going to be just a single
miniseries they haven't said much about what's going on with the Green Lantern
Corps movie right now but they're still making it it sounds like most of their
attention though has shifted to this HBO Green Lantern series temporarily the
Justice League Snyder cut does have a version of how Jordan in it he was being
played by this actor Sam Benjamin we don't know exactly what was happening
with his character he wasn't a huge part of the movie but it sounds like we'll
see him again during the Justice League Snyder cut
next year hopefully they'll find a way to work him into the trailer then you
have all the arrowverse Green Lantern stuff that they teased in the arrow
finale and crisis on Infinite Earths Diggle got a Green Lantern ring he
actually showed the behind the scenes for this it was just a glowing green
light in a box DC said that they had very specific rules that would allow
them to use this green interns seen in this finale scene Diggle
is busy moving his family to Metropolis where Superman lives they're doing the
Superman TV show next year so even if Diggle isn't going to be a main character
on the new Superman TV show it sounds like they'll handle all the follow-up
Diggle Green Lanterns stuff on the Superman TV show which makes sense I
mean it's one of the biggest ticket items that you have in the DC Universe
we haven't done a lot of Green Lantern stuff in there so far why wouldn't you
do it on your biggest new show in this trailer footage you also probably notice
as they're trying to form their new version of the Justice Society they're
fighting Sportsmaster his wife tigress but you don't see Artemis anywhere there
is a version of Artemis that's a member of this high school the play give her an
origin story sometime later this season or in season two most of you know those
characters from Young Justice because Artemis was such a big character
during that series especially during Young Justice season three just sitting
there waiting for Wally West to appear out of the speedforce
I know those of you that are big Young Justice fans they are making Young
Justice season 4 though pry be an announcement about that at the big DC
fandom Comic Con later this summer as for the big doctor fate seen that
everyone's asking about everyone saw the scene of the janitor he tells the new
doctor midnite beware there are dragons in the water which sounds like a very
dr. fate thing to say but he's just this senile looking old janitor that sounds
like he's talking crazy obviously we know that's not true this is a comic
book show he's speaking in riddles for a reason when he says there are dragons in
the water is a reference to the in Justice Society who are running a
brainwashing program in Blue Valley called Project new America is their very
insidious plan to slowly take over America if you remember the way they
used dr. fate on the Smallville TV show way back in the day you saw that when he
wasn't wearing the helmet he was actually kind of senile and he didn't
really become doctor fate get his wits about him until he put the helmet back
on infused with the spirit of Naboo he's never won don't whisper too loudly
don't show me what could be or not be
felis everything
so my guess is is that this old man is just a plant from the Justice Society
here to keep an eye on the injustice society most of them who are hiding in
plain sight is members of the faculty in the school the helmet of fate is still
back at the Hall of Justice so I'm guessing we probably won't see a ton of
doctor faith stuff either till towards the end of the season or maybe not till
season two but they'll probably pay off that Easter Egg sometime before the end
of the season but everyone let me know in the comments what do you want them to
do with a new version of green lantern that they just teased they're
introducing on the show and what do you want them to do with the doctor fake
character there are also rumors that they're going to do it just a society movie
based on the version of the team that they're doing inside the blackout a
movie but we'll see how that winds up going we haven't even seen the Black
Adam movie yet everyone click here for my new Justice League Snyder cut trailer
