OMG! Do you know what this means, my fellow loyal Green Lantern fans!? Abin Sir, the 'Uncle Ben' of the Green Lantern mythology has been cast aside in favor of - wait for it - an accident. Instead of having his well-known mentor handpick him to be an officer of the Green Lantern Corps. because of his forthright honesty and fearlessness, Hall Jordan will instead find the ring by accident on a lifeless asteroid.
And, instead of being a test pilot in the great American tradition of record-setting test-pilot, Brigadier General and all around American Hero, Chuck Yeager, Hal will simply be a scientist and astronaut.
I can't tell you how disappointed I am that Abin Sir - the Godfather of the Green Lantern Corps. and Hal's recruitment officer - has been so violently excised from the Green Lantern mythology in preparation for Hal's revamped cinematic debut. This tragic development takes away all of Hal's substantive reasoning for wanting to be a superhero in the first place. Now he's a typical, dorky, hipster science-nerd looking for cool adventures among the stars.
D.C., how could you do this to us? I can't begin to articulate just how disappointed I am.
RIP Abin Sir. :-(

DC is ashamed of the Green Lantern movie. This has everything to do with trying to distance the character and story as far from the movie as possible. Which is a shame, because the movie wasn't awful, it just wasn't particularly inspired. Yes, this is the only conclusion I could draw. So shameful. SaveSave |

The Earth One series as a whole has made plenty of deviations from the mainstream comics. This isn't any different. Hell, we have a female Lex Luthor and Two-Face in the other Earth One books.

It's not meant to replace the main continuity. They're essentially just Elseworld stories. |

I don't get why comics fans complain so much when they change things in the movies but have no problem when the comics change themselves so radically all the time.

don't sell astronauts short...
wasn't it by chance in his old origin too? he just happened to be the one to find the dying alien. or was there some design behind it that i've forgotten?

Abin Sir didn't find anybody - he was too bodyhurt from the crash. The Ring found and chose Jordan as he was closer than Guy Gardener or Clark Kent. SaveSave |
