FIRST LOOK
Check This Out: 'Green Lantern' Movie's Power Battery Revealed

If you're a hardcore Green Lantern fan, we've got quite a treat for you today. The SpikeTV Scream Awards ceremony was held last night, and the event included a bit of Green Lantern marketing with Ryan Reynolds standing in front of a gigantic version of a Power Battery (see photos here). The Daily BLAM! (via SHH) also got a shot of the actual Power Battery from the Green Lantern universe that shows up and will be used in the movie and it's a big reveal for those who already know what exactly this is. Now if you don't know what it is, we'll explain beneath the photo. But for everyone else, take a better look at this glowing green prop piece.
This right here is the actual, physical "lantern" object that makes up the Green Lantern name. In comic book mythology, this "lantern" stores smaller amounts of the cosmic energy that can recharge the Power Ring that Hal Jordan (Reynolds) wears and gives him power to fight enemies and be a superhero. The cosmic energy comes mainly from the planet Oa, where the Central Power Battery is located. That may seem confusing, but you'll definitely understand everything by the time Green Lantern hits theaters on June 17th next summer. We know the first trailer is set to debut in front of Harry Potter 7 this November, so stay tuned for updates!

Looks pretty damn cool. Although calling it a lantern might be more appropriate, no? I'm no GL supernerd, i just thought that's what they were called...But honestly i could be totally wrong i mean you can't call everything in Green Lantern a Lantern, right? They better sell this as a night light!

Hahaha yep, I'm wrong it is a Power Battery, what a lame name.

Maybe it's just me but I'm not really digging the whole "bio/organic" look everything in the movie has right now. It's giving me flashbacks to the Spawn movie. I dunno, I guess I just thought that an advanced civilization like the Oans would have cleaner lines and more of a high-tech look. I get that they're aliens and all, but do they really have to bash the audience over the head with it?

Nice.. but I don't think I totally get it's purpose.. even after reading the description. So Reynolds will be carrying this thing around with him throughout the movie?

He doesn't carry the lantern around with him. He charges his ring from it, and he has 24 hours of power till the next charge, or least that's the way it is in the comics.

NoelLantern said: He charges his ring from it, and he has 24 hours of power till the next charge. Thanks for the info pal; now I'll simply wait until the 24th hour and the beat the living snot out of him and his little buddy Kato too! Heh, heh, heh!

Yellow is not Green Lantern, fear is his weakness, yellow is the energy color of fear. a Green lantern can train to overcome this.

A power battery is something you pick up in a videogame.

This really gives you a sense of the kinds of textures they are going for and the feel the special effects will have on the movie. This is the first time i like what they are doing and i get the "big special effects movie" thing ive heard so much about... Awesome...

Looks like a wristwatch, why didn't they make it look like the drawing pictured beside it? Jings.

You guys don't know anything...Yellow IS a weakness! Anyway trailer please!

@I am: More precisely, yellow WAS Green Lantern's weakness. It used to be that his beams bounced off of anything colored yellow. That was done away with about 15 years ago.

geez....I certainly hope he isnt going to stand in front of the battery and actually recite that lame ass mumbo jumbo from the comic books in order for the ring to charge up...
