Pump your fists for the new Green Lantern theatrical poster

Despite my initial misgivings, I've slowly turned to the side of being somewhat optimistic about Green Lantern, although I still expect it to be my least favorite of the big superhero flicks coming our way this year. Even with all the production difficulties, like Warner Brothers kicking in a few extra greenbacks to get the visual effects up to snuff in time for release, I'm going to remain positive. In the last few weeks we've seen a concerted effort to amp up the marketing for the Ryan Reynolds-starring comic book flick, kicked off by a solid trailer that showed off just how star-spanning the story would be. Today we get a new poster, which shows Hal Jordan(Reynolds), Sinestro(Mark Strong), Kilowog(voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan), and a handful of other Corps members showing off their power rings. Pretty sweet.

PLOT
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.

Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
