A teaser trailer was shown at the open­ing of the Green Lantern SDCC panel, most of us were not lucky enough to be there and see Ryan Reynolds in action. And whilst the WB aren’t likely to release this video any time soon, a descrip­tion is the best we can hope for.

From SHH:

It’s essen­tially a teaser which starts off with a glow­ing green ball and an alien voiceover that says:

“Wel­come inhab­i­tants of sec­tor 2814. The Guardians have cho­sen you as can­di­dates for enlist­ment but before you can be recruited, you must be tested. The light you see before you is con­trolled by your will. Focus on the light. If you will it, it will be. Now, focus.”

That ball of green light con­tin­ues to pulse and get larger and larger before it blasts the screen with a wave of green light.

We then hear Reynolds’ voiceover say­ing the Green Lantern oath and a quick mon­tage of footage cut together that went by very fast, includ­ing a close-up of Reynolds as Hal Jor­dan, his hand hold­ing the ring, we see him in street clothes being pulled upwards and see a later scene in which he’s tak­ing on crim­i­nals by using the ring to form a giant fist that throws a round­house punch knock­ing out a bunch of guys. We get a very brief glimpse of Hec­tor Ham­mond and Tomar Re. (We pre­sume that the voiceover was Abin Sur, but we’re not sure.)

After the oath is done, we hear the orig­i­nal alien voiceover say­ing, “The choice has been made.”

The light we saw ear­lier starts form­ing into the GL emblem and then we see the logo is “Await Fur­ther Con­tact Sum­mer 2011.” (Hope­fully, they’ll show it again so we can catch more since it went by very fast.)

Speak­ing to MTV, Nolan answered ques­tions about Bat­man 3, specif­i­cally, is a July 2012 pre­mière and March 2011 film­ing on the cards?

Nolan answered,

“Yes and no, I sup­pose, would be the answer. We know we would be aim­ing for 2012, and that’s been talked about, but we’re just work­ing on the script really. My brother’s been hard at work on it for quite some time, based on a story that myself and David Goyer have written.”

Warner Bros. have released a video of SDCC Green Lantern high­lights, includ­ing Ryan Reynolds say­ing the Green Lantern oath.

Mar­vel have two more sur­prises for their fans, post-Avengers panel, on the shop floor are two new props — Cap­tain America’s shield and the Infin­ity Gaunt­let from Thor, which can be used in com­bi­na­tion with the Inifin­ity gems to gain com­plete con­trol of the universe.

The appear­ance of the gaunt­let throws up some ques­tions and pre­dic­tions for the Thor and Avengers movie plots. The gaunt­let was cre­ated by Thanos,

From Wiki:

Thanos mounts the six Infin­ity Gems, (col­lected in the The Thanos Quest lim­ited series), on his left glove to form the Infin­ity Gaunt­let, the focus of the title of the series. Each Gem grants its bearer com­plete mas­tery over one aspect of the uni­verse: Time, Space, Mind, Soul, Real­ity, and Power.

/Film more impor­tantly point out that, in the comics, Loki tries to attain the power of the gaunt­let, by steal­ing the infin­ity gems. He also seeks the Cos­mic Cube, which has been ref­er­enced in the Cap­tain Amer­ica footage; which would be a nice movie crossover prior to The Avengers. This ulti­mate power and cross-film vil­lain makes a very strong case for Loki being The Avengers main vil­lain. Thanos remains a strong pos­si­bil­ity, as he too sought the cos­mic cube.

Yet more news from SDCC, the offi­cial Green Lantern logo has been unveiled:

At the end of the Thor panel at SDCC, Kevin Feige dimmed the stage and a large ‘A’ appeared on screen, with the voice-over of Samuel L. Jack­son as Nick Fury explain­ing the for­ma­tion of the world’s biggest super hero team. Then Jack­son came on stage and intro­duced the cast, one by one.

The pic­ture, from left to right: Robert Downey Jr. (Iron man), Clark Gregg (Agent Coul­son), Scar­lett Johans­son (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Cap­tain Amer­ica), Samuel L. Jack­son (Nick Fury), Jeremy Ren­ner (Hawk­eye), Mark Ruf­falo (Bruce Ban­ner), direc­tor Joss Whe­don and pro­ducer Kevin Feige.

At this year’s SDCC Joss Whe­don, whilst on stage with J.J.Abrams, offi­cially con­firmed that he will be helm­ing the Avengers movie adap­ta­tion, set for release in 2012. The movie is still in the out­line phase and in the process of rework­ing the story.

“The thing I love about it is how com­pletely counter-intuitive it is. These peo­ple should not be in the same room, much less the same team. The very def­i­n­i­tion of family.”

In other news, Nathan Fil­lion will NOT be play­ing Ant Man in the adap­ta­tion, Whe­don jok­ingly announced Fil­lion would be play­ing the role, but that Ant Man wouldn’t be in the film. All very confusing.

More solidly, Whe­don has con­firmed that Jeremy Ren­ner will be tak­ing on the role of Hawkeye.
