Im my opinion they should Hal Jordan be an already established Lantern. I had a particular story in mind to make this happen.
Hal Jordan was a green Lantern for years and his adventures took place throughout his sector and when he did work on earth it was on low-key missions ordered by the guardians. They felt that humans were not ready to enter the galactic landscape and were still being studied.
Hal became a Legendary Lantern, so much so that the guardians appointed a new human Lantern, one that was nominated by Hal Jordan.
This nominee and eventual Lantern was John Stewart and he too rose through the ranks of the Lanterns.
After years of service Hal Jordan resigns as a Lantern sue to the loss of many of his fellow Lanterns and the Carol Ferris becoming a member of the Star Sapphires
Stewart takes over for Jordan as the Head Lantern of sector 2814. They assign Kyle Rayner to be Stewart's protégé as they are unsure if Stewart alone can cover for Jordan's absence.
While on a mission Stewart and Rayner are following Larfleeze who it appears is attempting to steal a yellow ring of power and on the mission Rayner, Bzzzd and Galius Zed end up dead and a planet destroyed. Stewart is accused of the crime of sacrificing innocent lives to secure his objective and is put on trial.
Kilowog travels to Earth to inform Jordan of Stewart's situation and suggests he attend the trial.
Jordan attends and we see the rest of the story play out.
We see short stories play out through the eyes of different Lanterns. They will each be around 20 - 30 minutes.
I would love to see these events take place Pulp Fiction style and not necessarily in chronological order.
Kilowog on the stand - Explains his training of a young Hal Jordan. Here we see Jordan's exceptional talent and potential as a future Lantern while explaining the significance that Stewart was chosen by Jordan to join the Corp.
Sinestro on the Stand - Sinestro prisoner of Oa is brought on as a character witness. Hal Jordan & John Stewart challenging Sinestro shortly after he obtains the yellow ring. This was one of their Early missions together and will establish that companionship.
Tomar Re's Eulogy at the funerals of Rayner, Zed & Bzzd. Introduces the audience to Re and his feelings on the Lanterns brotherhood.
Jordan Informing his close friends in the Corp that he will be resigning and returning to Earth and their parting words and how the Corp celebrates the career of a legend. Takes place during the intermission of the trial when Jordan meets up with his old companions.
Kanjar Ro takes the stand and acts as a witness to the accused crime. He narrates his account of the story as the audience slowly sees the true happenings and realize that he lying.
This spoils the ending to this version.
What do you guys think? What do you like? What don't yoh? What story do you think would be great to adapt? ,
