AC WilsonHOST
So the source material points us to two storylines that execute this flawlessly, although they do it on completely different scales.
AC WilsonHOST
We have Batman: The Killing Joke from 1988, and then we explode outward to the Sinestro Corps War from 2007.
speaker_5HOST
Two very different flavors of fear.
AC WilsonHOST
Very different.
speaker_5HOST
Exactly.
AC WilsonHOST
We need to see that the psychological warfare has a cost.
AC WilsonHOST
But then if we look at the list, we take this deeply intimate idea of weaponizing fear, and we scale it up to a massive microscopic galactic level with Sinestro Corps War.
speaker_5HOST
Talk about an escalation.
RussHOST
Yeah.
RussHOST
[laughs] It's funny, like, you bring up, uh, the Sinestro Corps War, and of course, this is, this is an audio-only podcast, but I wanna show this to Ken.
RussHOST
Uh, my favorite DC Comics villain was also a Sinestro Corps.
KenGUEST
Yeah.
MattHOST
Mm-hmm.
JamesHOST
And then I think if they do a movie, it should be the Sinestro Corps War.
MattHOST
Hmm.
MattHOST
Hmm.
Devin R. BruceHOST
So it's just going to have to happen.
Devin R. BruceHOST
um sucks butts yeah not pretty crappy human um and and and he's he's good at it like i like his illustrations but sometimes i'm just like why does everyone like look sinister like everyone looks sinister even hal looks sinister sometimes anyway it's fine i'm not gonna get into it um jeff johns sees uh Rebirth, The Sinestro Corps War, and Blackest Night as a trilogy, as a trilogy in three parts.
Devin R. BruceHOST
So we've gotten, in publishing history, this is the 2010s, I think.
Devin R. BruceHOST
I think this is all off the dome.
Sean ComerPANELIST
A- and again, this, this comes back to they h- now have places they can go.
Sean ComerPANELIST
You haven't busted your nut with the Sinestro Corps War yet.
Sean ComerPANELIST
You haven't introduced Atrocitus yet, which will help further flesh out Hal's origins if you wanted a good excuse to bring him back.
Sean ComerPANELIST
You haven't explored the other corps.
speaker_1HOST
We are talking about expanding the spectrum.
speaker_0HOST
The Screen Rant list highlights two massive interconnected universe-altering events written by Geoff Johns, Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night.
speaker_1HOST
These are the stories that break the boundaries of the universe wide open and redefine the cosmology of DC.
speaker_0HOST
Let's start with Sinestro Corps War.
speaker_1HOST
As we mentioned, Sinestro was Hal's mentor, a Green Lantern who believed in ruling through fear.
speaker_0HOST
Right.
speaker_0HOST
Wait, there's more?
speaker_1HOST
Yes.
T-Bob HebertGUEST
That's it.
Jose YoungsGUEST
Um, but in terms of like Lantern arcs in general, I love the Sinestro War, where you get like the yellow versus green.
Jose YoungsGUEST
That's a Geoff Johns special right there.
Jose YoungsGUEST
I think that's what really got people in love with the, the Geoff Johns run.
Jose YoungsGUEST
There you go.
T-Bob HebertGUEST
And I own maybe the first Blackest Night trade, but s- again, I kinda hopped off.
T-Bob HebertGUEST
So like Sinestro War and the creation of all the different corps and everything are, that's not, I don't know nearly as much about that.
Jose YoungsGUEST
You can buy the enti- almost the entire Geoff Johns run in one omni now.
Justin HamiltonGUEST
You know, if you want to have Guy Gardner and Jon Stewart up against each other, that's great.
Justin HamiltonGUEST
If you want to bring about the Sinestro Wars, if you want to return to Sheriff Kerry's backstory, if you want to continue Noah fighting against his programming and the way he's being brought up, there's so many interesting places to go.
Justin HamiltonGUEST
And I just feel satisfied.
Adam RichardHOST
Yeah, it was really satisfying.
speaker_0HOST
Readers have shown they'll pay for this kind of storytelling.
speaker_0HOST
The Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night were two of DC's biggest events of their time, and both were driven by villains and their colors.
speaker_0HOST
Solo books followed, including Sinestro, Larflees, and Red Lanterns, and the last of those ran for about 40 issues.
speaker_0HOST
That tells us the interest is real, though the shorter runs tell us it needs the right creative team and a clear promise.
MaggieHOST
Yeah.
MattHOST
Sinestro Corps War.
MattHOST
And then, I mean, the New 52, he was, you know, pretty much s- I don't wanna say he was the architect of it, but I mean, like-
