With the Guardians of the Galaxy opening this week Marvel have expanded their superhero franchise into a galaxy far, far away. Warner Bros. had the opportunity to pioneer this superhero setting a few years ago when they made Green Lantern and failed, miserably, by not being adventurous enough and lumbering Earth with the majority of the setting for the film.

Green Lantern is essentially a space cop with superhero trappings and is a rather unique franchise. Whilst I am not a huge fan, I appreciate that this is one of the jewels in the DC crown and that it deserves to be done right.

So, this month, I am going to pitch how I would go about dealing with the cinematic future of the Green Lantern franchise.
