I know… of all the weaknesses in the world – why wood? The ring had to be charged every 24 hours by touching it to the lantern and this is a trait which continues on to this day and has served as a nagging difficulty for all future Lanterns as the ring has a finite charge and when it’s gone it simply becomes a normal ring and the wearer is vulnerable and powerless.Īlan was also a founding member of the Justice Society of America alongside, amongst others, Jay Garrick who we know as the first Flash. The first big difference here is that this first incarnation of the Green Lantern wasn’t actually a cosmic figure, he was using magic! Alan Scott finds an old railroad lantern and, instructed by the magic flame contained within, is told how to fashion a ring out of the metal which gives him never before seen powers with one huge drawback – the ring’s power was useless against wood. If, however, you DO want to read some of these then I urge you to look into: There have been many huge storylines which cover both time and space but this isn’t the time or place to discuss those, I instead want to focus on the individual Green Lantern’s who have protected Earth rather than the wide-ranging Corps mythos itself. ![]() Johns now serves as a co-runner of the entire DCEU lending his hand to producing, writing and managing the project as a whole in a similar way to Kevin Feige over at Marvel. We don’t need to speak about the 2011 film which caused so much hate and arguably derailed Warner Bros plans for a DC Extended Universe before it even got off the ground but the comics also featured a Rebirth storyline in 2004 (different from the current DC Rebirth) which rejuvenated what was seen by some as a lost, tired character and this was down to Geoff Johns, a certified member of the comic book royal family who then worked the same magic on The Flash in 2009. My love of the Green Lantern(s) is no secret (partly because I think I mention it on every single podcast that we do) and it’s a franchise which has had a bit of a rough time over the last few years.
