Brightest Day Or Blackest Night?? DAWSON’S CREEK Vet Greg Berlanti To Write And Direct DC Comics' GREEN LANTERN!!

I am – Hercules!!

Greg Berlanti, who wrote and directed the 2000 gay romantic dramedy “Broken Hearts Club” before he went on to oversee the TV ventures “Dawson’s Creek,” “Jack & Bobby” and “Brothers & Sisters,” will write and direct a big-screen adaptation of the DC Comics superhero saga “Green Lantern.”

The Variety story on the matter mentions silver age Green Lantern Hal Jordan, who in the comics is a test pilot chosen by an ancient alien race to protect Sector 2814 of the Milky Way.

To aid his effort, Hal is given a "power ring" that allows him to do darn near anything.

George Miller’s “Justice League” movie only features latter-day Lantern John Stewart.

Read all of Variety’s story on the matter here.
