Despite being a comic book fan, I haven't bothered with 2&3, Spiderman, X-3 and Wolverine, Iron Man (even taking into account my Robert Downey jr crush), the other Hulk, the recent Supermans. Because superhero movies not named Watchmen or Dark Knight tend to make me yawn.

One of the new movies on the way is for Green Lantern, whose power is energy manipulation. Gifted his powers in the form of a ring from a dying intergalactic policeman (give me a break, OK, I'm paraphrasing!), he is quite some way from being my favourite superhero. The only time I read him is as part of the Justice League, when he has to compete with everyone else, or in his team up with Green Arrow. Where he's overshadowed by my personal fave, Green Arrow.

Despite all that, I will be going to see it. Why? A fan trailer hit the web a few months back. It mixes together bits of other movies and casts Nathan Fillion as our hero Hal Jordan. The bastards in corporate media filed a claim on it and got it off the internet, which sucks, because it brought tears to my eyes and sent a shiver up my spine when he started to recite the Green Lantern Corps oath. I have to see this movie for real.

"In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power... Green Lantern's light!"
