Green Lanterns Arrive
After all those rumours, it turns out that no, Hal Jordan and John Stewart didn’t turn up in Justice League. Instead, what we got was a couple of nondescript Green Lanterns in the flashback to Steppenwolf’s prior attempt to invade the Earth. Their inclusion is a neat way of setting up the (potentially) upcoming Green Lanterns Corps, but there could have been a much more meatier role for the GLs if this original post-credits sequence had remained.
According to a source on the production, the first post-credits sequence was much different in Snyder’s cut. In place of the Flash/Superman race, the scene involved Bruce Wayne investigating a disturbance. It turned out to be two alien Green Lanterns – namely, Tomar-Re and Kilowog – and while we don’t know anymore about what would have happened, we can imagine that it would have teased the arrival of a human Green Lantern.
While the race sequence directed by Whedon was very fun and loveable, it’s a lot more disposable than this original Green Lantern-based teaser. It’s possible that the scene was ditched before any CGI was added to it, but assuming that it’s even in good enough shape to be released, let’s hope it surfaces on the fabled Justice League Director’s Cut.
