Green Lantern Banner

Since my days running BlueTights.net, I’ve feverishly campaigned for a Green Lantern film adaptation. Behind Superman, Hal Jordan is by far my favorite superhero. In fact, if you catch me on the right day, he will often beat-out Superman on that list. So it goes without saying that when I heard that Warner Brothers was [...]
