Take this with a giant, no scratch that, massive mountain of salt. News on any DC Entertainment movie is hard to come by, but apparently Cosmic Book News have a source within the company that has details on the Green Lantern movie sequel script and even casting replacement. And no its not Blake Lively.
The “Wrath of the First Lantern” story line kicks off in February’s Green Lantern issue 17 and continues in Red Lanterns, Green Lantern Corps and Green Lantern: New Guardians. The arc centers on this old, powerful and bizarre force and his role in the fates of Hal Jordan, Sinestro, John Stewart, Guy Gardner and the newest member of the Green Lantern Corps, Simon Baz.
“I don’t want to say he’s a villain or a hero,” Johns says of the First Lantern, who was introduced in DC Comics’ recent Green Lantern Annual. “He’s just a being who’s targeting our main lanterns, our guys, to see if there’s a way that maybe the universe could improve if they made different choices in their lives.
Aya’s come up with a great plan to make the Interceptor’s trip home faster…until she accidentally breaks outer space! While the ship is undergoing repairs, Hal decides to go on an adventure. After flying to a nearby planet, he discovers the Hammer Tribe and decides to join them in their fight against the Lizardriders. But will he be the secret weapon the tribe is looking for?

DC Comics is expanding its digital storefront, putting all its monthly titles – from Batman to Superman – on sale at iTunes, Amazon’s Kindle store and Barnes & Noble’s Nook shop.
The move announced Wednesday appears to make DC Entertainment the first major comics publisher to make its titles available through online stores the same day they’re on sale in comic shops. It also expands its digital offerings beyond the top industry digital purveyor, Comixology.
Hank Kanalz, DC Entertainment senior vice president for digital, said the decision shows the importance of digital downloads to the company, which relaunched its universe last year under the so-called “New 52” banner.
“We’ve proven over the last two years that going digital has added to our business in general and going wider is the way to go,” he said.
The decision to go with devices by Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Barnes & Noble Inc. reflected the fact that users of those gadgets have extensive libraries of digital files – movies, books, TV shows and, now, comics – and don’t necessarily tend to jump from one device to another.
