Well the CW, or TV in general, is getting ready to hit us with a super serving (no pun intended) of comic book lore this fall. Arrow is going to begin its fourth season, The Flash will be starting its second, Legends of Tomorrow will be premiering as the first team-up show, CBS will be getting its first DC series with Supergirl, and CW Seed will kick off the fall with the animated Vixen series. Wow, that is a lot.

This coming year we are going to get to see many more characters join these worlds but there is one in particular that has been a hot ‘green’ button of discussion. The Green Lantern.

Is he going to appear on the TV shows, and if yes, on what show? Let’s touch the bases.

1. Jon Stewart Theory- Is Jon Diggle really Jon Stewart. I’m sorry but I have to say no. I have mentioned this before and I stick to it now; his new identity will most likely be Guardian.

2. Will Hal Jordan Appear?- Here comes another spoon of negativity. No. I know we heard of Ferris Air. I know they mentioned the pilot who disappeared. Sadly guys I think this was just an Easter Egg. If anything, maybe we will get to meet Carol Ferris. Since Arrow has not been shy at borrowing villains from other heroes, I wouldn’t be all too surprised if the Star Sapphire made an appearance on the Flash (Which is still really cool, right?)

3. Comic-Con Announcement- The new Green Lantern film will be titled Green Lantern Corps. Most likely we are going to be getting quite the team-up of Earth Green Lanterns. Hal Jordan, Jon Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner, and I would even go as far to say Simon Baz. In one afternoon with a clean sweep the DC film universe almost totally eliminated the pool of Green Lanterns to bring to TV (IF all of these are to appear as I think they should.)

4. There Is One Option- There is one Green Lantern that is separated by the others not only by his uniform but by his very origin. Yes, I am talking about the very original Green Lantern, Alan Scott. This is the very first Green Lantern and for those that don’t know, he has nothing to do with the Corps or the Guardians of Oa. His powers were obtained by a meteorite that crashed to earth and function more off the concept of magic than the technical methods of the Corps’ rings.

I was thinking of how difficult it would be to visually bring a Green Lantern to the television universe. There have been great advancements but we have to admit, for a hero so flashy, it would still prove a challenge. Not to mention an expensive one. The thing about Alan is that he didn’t create constructs in his original representation. He was able to fly, shoot energy beams, use telepathy, phase through walls and more. These are things that can easily be brought to the TV and still be totally faithful to the character.

5. Who Would Come With Him- Another unique quality to the Alan Scott Green Lantern is his weakness. Unlike the future incarnations and their yellow issue, Alan Scott’s ring is actually useless against wood. Yes, he can create a shield to protect himself against bullets but if a bat is coming at him, he’s F$#^#. As yellow was to Sinestro wood is to….SOLOMON GRUNDY.

Truth, Solomon Grundy is originally an Alan Scott/Green Lantern villain appearing in All-American Comics #61. Don’t tell me you guys wouldn’t be excited to see the Green Lantern face off against that zombie!

6. Quite the Opportunity- I don’t know how the New 52 interpretation of the character was taken by others but from my point of view- I loved it. I’m totally on board for the retconning and added diversity to the comic world. I hope, should we actually get this character on TV, they give us the gay version. Give us the hero that lost his love and has his engagement ring was transformed into the Green Lantern ring. That is such a powerful scene and would be so epic for the television universe!

With traveling through time coming up and switching between different Earths in the near future, why not have this character appear? Let’s give the original Green Lantern his moment and PLEASE bring Grundy along for the ride!

I would love to see him on The Flash but I think he could be equally exciting on Legends of Tomorrow.
