Justice Leaguefinally bring Green Lantern to the DCEU - but how exactly does it set up the Corps ? The original marketing forJustice Leagueproudly declared"Unite the Seven!“However , the roll call of the squad in the movie shoot a line only six of the World ’s Greatest Superheroes : Batman ( Ben Affleck ) , Wonder Woman ( Gal Gadot ) , Aquaman ( Jason Momoa ) , The Flash ( Ezra Miller ) , Cyborg ( Ray Fisher ) and Superman ( Henry Cavill ) . Someone ’s missing , a prominent DC Comics superhero typically regarded as a heart and soul Justice League fellow member .
As it rick out , Green Lantern does make an coming into court inJustice Leagueafter all , but it ’s not Hal Jordan , the most illustrious Emerald Gladiator and a establish member of the League in the strip . That ’s veracious - in the DC Extended Universe , the Justice League is now formally formed without the aid of Hal Jordan or any Green Lantern . In fact , there is no Green Lantern on Earth in the modern day epoch of the DCEU . TheJustice Leaguetrailer contained a line of dialogue from the movie ’s villain Steppenwolf ( Ciarán Hinds ) that is n’t in the final slice of the movie about Earth having"no protectors , no Lantern … “But Earth did have a Green Lantern to protect it long ago .
Five thousand years ago , Steppenwolf launched his first attempted conquest of Earth . The fearsome being know as the final stage of Worlds seek to use the Unity of three Mother Boxes to transform our Earth into another version of his homeworld Apokolips . To beat back this intrusion , an alliance to maintain the Earth was formed between the Amazons ( Wonder Woman ’s people ) , the Atlanteans ( Aquaman ’s the great unwashed ) , all of the tribes of Man , the Greek Gods and a Green Lantern . They fought the Parademons of Apokolips led by Steppenwolf in a brutal battle and win .
The Green Lantern who fought for Earth was a caped Emerald Gladiator who used his Power Ring to make a gargantuan hammer to swat Parademons to shreds . However , Steppenwolf soon kill the Lantern with his struggle axe . Upon the Lantern ’s death , his Power Ring straightaway flew off his finger past Steppenwolf to look for its next wearer .
From the abbreviated glance of the Green Lantern in the " history lesson " Wonder Woman told Batman , the Lantern seems to resemble one from DC Comics lore : Yalan Gur . In the cartoon strip , Gur was the Green Lantern of Space Sector 2814 ( where Earth is site ) about two thousand year ago . Yalan Gur was considered one of the peachy Lanterns of his clock time by the Guardians of the Universe . The Guardians removed the dross in Gur ’s Power Ring that made it vulnerable to the color yellow , allowing him to become more powerful , but the powerfulness corrupted Gur and he set out remaking the creation in Sector 2814 to resemble his desire . The Guardians then punish Gur by depowering his Ring , making it vulnerable to wood , which led to Yur ’s death . Yalan Gur ’s life DOE attach with his Power Battery and ended up being part of the Starheart , which gave Alan Scott , the Golden Age Green Lantern his power .
It is n’t clean from his few seconds of screen time whether the Lantern inJustice Leagueis actually Yalan Gur or another character from the same airstream . Indeed , it ’s potential his mien is meant as a cool Easter egg and a vociferation out to the hard-core Green Lantern sports fan in the audience . However , we do know for certain there has been no Green Lantern around to protect the Earth since 2013 .
Only Superman fought to save the Earth from General Zod ’s Kryptonian invasion , a violent event that would otherwise demand the intervention of a Green Lantern . likewise , the absence of a Green Lantern and the death of Superman were key reasons why the Mother Boxes awakened after five millennium and summoned Steppenwolf back to Earth to fill out his conquest . Each space sector is actually imply to have two Green Lanterns assigned to it , yet no Green Lantern link up the Justice League in fighting Steppenwolf .
The whereabouts of the Green Lanterns in the DCEU is a huge question fans want answered . There is aGreen Lantern Corpsfeature film debate , rumored to be a ' brother pig ' movie that will be about Hal Jordan teamed with another Lantern ( presumably John Stewart ) , which was announced by DC Films for a potential 2020 release . If that movie does happen , fans will hopefully finally get the response to what pass off to the Green Lanterns and why they seem to have vacate Earth .
Green Lantern is also at the top of the list of superheroes who fan desire to see connect the League inJustice League 2 . regrettably , how much longer we ’ll have to wait to see the Green Lantern we sleep with and honey strike his emerald light in the DCEU is anyone ’s guess .
