Justice League has brought in the Green Lantern Corps in the DCEU. However, we couldn’t figure out which one of the Lanterns was seen in the film. However, an attentive fan now seems to have found the answer.
A Reddit user StrandingDeath identified the Green Lantern as Yalan Gur. The poster draws a comparison between Gur’s comic appearance and the movie’s character, and the evidence is quite conclusive.
Yalan Gur debuted in 1991’s Green Lantern #19. Gur was the protector of Space Sector 2814 about two thousand years back. The Guardians of the Universe removed Yellow Impurity from his ring, thus removing its weakness. The comic showed that power got to the character’s head. Humans killed him when the Guardians created his vulnerability to wooden weapons.
His fate in the movie is different than the comics. The film shows him dying during the battle with Steppenwolf during the movie’s “History Lesson” segment. His ring takes off after he died. While his ring’s present location is not known, we might find that out in the Green Lantern Corps movie.
The Green Lantern Corps film is scheduled to release in 2020. Justice League is presently playing in theaters and the film stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ciarán Hinds as Steppenwolf, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, J.K Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.
