The DC Cinematic Universe(DCCU) is sizing up nicely, since San Diego Comic Con(SDCC) we’ve been given a look behind the curtain at what Warner Bros. and DC have planned for their properties. Between the serious and intense Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice trailer to the insane, ensemble piece Suicide Squad, there is something different going on at Warner Bros/DC. Now there were some rumours ahead of SDCC that we’d see more of the Justice League cast, Aquaman(Jason Momoa), Flash(Ezra Miller) as well as including a sneak peek at our new Green Lantern. Now we got some news, Green Lantern’s movie will be called Green Lantern Corps, meaning that the rumours of multiple GL’s is true. This is where the main body of my article comes in, who should be the cast of Green Lantern Corps? More importantly which GL’s should be our supposed three leads? Here are my nominations.

Simon Baz: The New Guy!

Introduced in the new continuity, New 52. Simon Baz is of Middle-Eastern American descent and well, he’s pretty cool. With his unique design, well written introduction issue and his seemingly unique abilities Simon gives an opportunity for Warner Bros/DC to expand their multi-cultured cast/roster. I know you might think he’ll feel like more of a token instead of a character but he is honestly, in my opinion, one of the most interesting characters I’ve read in DC in awhile. Dubbed ‘The Miracle Worker’ Simon has done some incredible things in his short tenure as a GL. Not only that, since he is so new, he has none of the baggage of every other GL.

Kyle Rayner: The OP guy!

Anyone who knows me knows that I love Kyle, he is awesome. He’s an artist, has the best imagination of most of the human Green Lanterns(looking at you Hal with your boxing glove construct). Plus he is has in my opinion one of the best character evolutions in comic history, only really being trumped by Dick Grayson. Also his evolution as a character and a Green Lantern allows the general audience to be introduced to the rest of the emotional spectrum of Lanterns, after all he becomes the ultimate Lantern, the White Lantern. Along the way we would be introduced to every Lantern type, the Red Lanterns, the Blue Lanterns, and the Black Lanterns if they go that far down the rabbit hole.

Sinestro: Yeah, that guy!

I know, I know. “But Graham Sinestro is the greatest villain in the Green Lantern comics”. I disagree, well okay actually I don’t. He’s the best villain they’ve had in awhile(though the Third Army were freaky as hell). However, he is also one of the most interesting and nuanced characters in all of DC history. Is he truly a villain? He did what he thought he must, for the greater good. Plus when he was made a GL again in the New 52 he gave us some of the most interesting and well characterised stories in the New 52. He’s conflicted, he’s tough, he’s smart. He’s a great character and his journey from good guy, to bad guy to anti-hero is the stuff legends are made of. He can also allow the general audience to see the beginning of the expansion of the Green Lantern universe as he started the Sinestro Corps, which started off a chain reaction that led to the Sinestro Corps War and laid the foundation of Blackest Night. Sinestro as a character allows for some serious storytelling, and that is what Warner Bros/DC need to beat Marvel.

What do you guys think though? Have I made a terrible decision by going with these characters, have you got other choices in your noggins? If you do, let us know here. Leave your thoughts, comments and rants below.
