DCEU Art Shows Green Lantern Costume in Snyder’s Justice League

In a recent reveal that sparked excitement among fans, concept art offering a glimpse into the envisioned Green Lantern costume for Hal Jordan within the now-defunct DC Extended Universe (DCEU) has surfaced. Shared on Instagram by none other than DC concept artist Jerad S. Marantz, these captivating images shed light on the creative process behind the portrayal of the iconic character. Collaborating with esteemed costume designer Michael Wilkinson, Marantz provided a behind-the-scenes peek into the meticulous craftsmanship and artistic vision that went into shaping the superhero’s appearance for the Justice League project.

Reflecting on his involvement in the endeavor, Marantz expressed profound nostalgia, hailing it as one of the most artistically fulfilling ventures of his career. He reminisced about the camaraderie within the team, spanning across both the United States and the United Kingdom, underscoring the collaborative effort that underpinned the creation of these captivating designs. Praising Wilkinson’s expertise and creativity, Marantz highlighted the privilege he felt in contributing to the portrayal of one of his beloved branches of the DC universe.

However, the journey of Green Lantern within the DCEU has been marked by twists and turns, beginning with the 2011 film starring Ryan Reynolds. Initially intended as the cornerstone of a new DC shared universe, the movie faced significant setbacks following its lukewarm reception both critically and commercially. Subsequently, the studio recalibrated its strategy, pivoting to launch the DCEU with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel in 2013.

Despite the initial setback, Warner Bros. unveiled plans in July 2015 for a Green Lantern Corps movie, signaling a resurgence of interest in exploring the rich mythology of the intergalactic peacekeeping force. However, despite the involvement of notable talents like David S. Goyer and Justin Rhodes as writers and producers, alongside luminaries such as Geoff Johns and Jon Berg as executive producers, the project failed to materialize.

While Hal Jordan and John Stewart remained conspicuously absent from the DCEU landscape, Green Lantern Yalan Gur made fleeting appearances in both 2017’s Justice League and 2021’s Zack Snyder’s Justice League, offering tantalizing glimpses of the expansive universe that could have been.

With the official conclusion of the DCEU with the release of 2023’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, a new chapter beckons for DC fans. James Gunn and Peter Safran are set to spearhead a fresh DC Universe (DCU) that promises to explore untapped narratives and characters. Notably, the forthcoming DCU will feature a Lanterns series dedicated to exploring the adventures of Hal Jordan and John Stewart, hinting at a deeper exploration of the Green Lantern mythos.

Moreover, the eagerly anticipated 2025 film Superman: Legacy is set to introduce Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, a fan-favorite Green Lantern known for his brash demeanor and unwavering resolve. As the DCU expands its horizons, fans can anticipate a diverse array of stories and characters, ensuring that the legacy of the Green Lantern Corps continues to shine brightly in the ever-evolving tapestry of the DC universe.
