Some heroes are powered by strength. Hal Jordan is powered by will… and maybe just a little bit by his inability to back down from a challenge. I can't wait for a whole new audience to meet him in LANTERNS (and yes, Kyle Chandler was born to wear that ring). Hal made his comic debut on this day in SHOWCASE #22, written by John Broome, with pencils by Gil Kane and inks by Joe Giella.
that’s some fancy way to describe tyranny, old friend. it baffles me to know that all these years in a cell didn’t make you rethink of your old ways...
subjecting them to do my bidding.ᐣ your mind is too little to understand what i tried to do in kougar.
i wished nothing but order for my planet and my people. something that cannot be obtained without sacrifice ... and a true leader.
Description of LANTERNS clip shown at SDCC
John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) standing on a street. Up pulls a black car that’s pumping “Boogie Shoes” by KC and the Sunshine Band. Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) is driving. Hal acknowledges that he’s late, and John says it’s fine. But Hal kind of wants him to be mad and keeps goading him. “Why are you not angry?” Things like that. John keeps calling him “Sir,” and Hal mentions that every time he calls him “Sir” it sounds like “Fuck you.” “No, sir,” says John.
Hal explains that he’s been gone for two weeks off-planet settling some kind of galactic dispute. And, again, he jabs at John. “You know how that is.” John says he doesn’t because they haven’t gone off-world yet. He mentions that the Guardians chose him, and Hal hasn’t even let him try the ring yet. Hal then begrudgingly takes his ring off and sets it on the dashboard. He tells John there’s a taco stand about three miles up the road and to meet him there. He proceeds to jump out of the moving, speeding car, which then flies off a cliff. In the air, we see John grab the ring, put it on, and start to manifest something with it.
Things pick up at the taco stand. Hal is there, signing autographs, taking photos, generally being famous. One woman tells him she misses the suit, and he mentions he wears it on special occasions. Then, finally, John strolls up. “I could have died,” he says. “You wanted training. I’m training you,” Hal replies. Hal then asks him what he made to survive. John, embarrassed, tells him, “Bubble wrap”
