SPOILERS: The Identity Of JUSTICE LEAGUE's Biggest Surprise Character Cameo Has Been Revealed
Justice League's flashback sequence featured a lot of surprising cameos and now one fan has seemingly worked out the identity of that member of the [SPOILER] we see flying around in the movie...
Justice League finally confirmed that the Green Lantern Corps exists in the DC Films Universe but the character's cameo during the movie's flashback to Steppenwolf's first attack on Earth was so quick that it was impossible to figure out his or her identity. As you can see below, though, one fan has seemingly figured out who the character was (before the villain took him out) and it's a pretty great Easter Egg!
It seems this member of the Green Lantern Corps was Yalan Gur, and he first appeared in 1991's Green Lantern #19. It was revealed there that he protected Space Sector 2814 over two thousand years ago but power corrupted him and he was killed by humans when the Guardians of Oa made him vulnerable to wood (the Green Lantern comics were seriously odd before Geoff Johns took over the series).
Of course, his fate in the source material is much different as he's skewered by Steppenwolf's axe and his ring quickly flies off to find a new host. Last year, Zack Snyder indicated that he'd been talking to Johns about obscure members of the Corps and one of them showing up in Justice League has been probably the movie's worst kept secret for a while now. What do you guys think of this reveal?
