DC Comics' highly-anticipated live-action adaptation of its popular Green Lantern comic book is one step closer to becoming a reality with the establishment of a release date. The Emerald Guardian will be soaring into theaters on June 17, 2011, placing it squarely in the heart of the summer movie-going season and directly between the releases of Sony's Spider-Man 4 in May and The First Avenger: Captain America in July.

Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) directs, with Ryan Reynolds (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) starring as the most popular Green Lantern, Hal "Highball" Jordan. There are no other cast announcements at this time. It is rumored that Sinestro, once a Green Lantern like Hal Jordan, will feature as the prominent villain of the movie, but there is no confirmation.

CORRECTION: I originally stated GL debuted between Captain America and Avengers, but I meant to say Spider-Man 4 and Captain America. Avengers has been pushed back to 2012.

@Multi: Okay, I'll check it out. Give me a minute. BTW, I messed up the release dates: Avengers was pushed back to 2012. That still leaves us with 3 CBM's in 3 months, though, which isn't bad.

The Silver Surfer wins. The Silver Surfer has the "power cosmic," which includes Sentry's "power of a million exploding suns" by definition. All of the Sentry's powers can be countered or defeated by the Surfer, including his ability to exist ahead of time, since the Surfer can time travel at will.

The only thing that really holds the Surfer back from becoming an @$$-kicker is his own morality, which Poni threw out the window when posing this debate.

Furthermore, Sentry is just plain unstable. The guy's a split personality who can rarely put more than a couple sentences together.

TWO FLIPPIN YEARS!?!?

It'll take another two years to get WW and/Flash off the ground. I hope you don't misunderstand my appreciation of seeing the DC heroes finally making it to the silver screen, but I don't want to be forty by that point! I mean, yeah, take your time. But...hurry up! LOL

I don't know what's up with the system guys, but I see that nearly every post is doubling up. I'll send a note to IT Nate about it.

It happens when you refresh and the window asks you to retry or cancel. Either way, it adds a new post.

@Multi: Nice.

I used to love the Surfer, but he's so powerful that his stories bore me.

Try to find the Moebius Surfer comics: those are friggin' awesome!
