Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim, who wrote the screenplay from this film, would go on to create the tv show Arrow which would be the first series in the Arrowverse. Having got off the ground, the DCEU is planned to feature a Continuity Reboot of the Green Lantern series with Green Lantern Corps (starring Hal Jordan, John Stewart and other prominent Green Lanterns), with possible appearances from the characters prior to that.

decided to retool Man of Steel into the actual launchpad for what would become the DC Extended Universe, ultimately with greater success. The film was intended to launch the DC Comics counterpart to the Marvel Cinematic Universe like Iron Man did, but ultimately this was not realized due to the film's poor financial returns. As Parallax sets its sights on Earth, Hal is forced to harness the power of the ring and save his planet. Contrasting him, a bitter and resentful childhood friend Hector Hammond ( Peter Sarsgaard) is infected with a part of Parallax, giving him unstable psychic powers and leading him to give in to his fears. Hal is the first human chosen to be a Lantern, which earns him few friends, and he struggles with a lot of personal issues regarding what is considered to be the 'fearless' Green Lantern ideal. When respected Corps member Abin Sur ( Temuera Morrison) is fatally injured, his ring leads him to Earth, and chooses a replacement: a brash test pilot named Hal Jordan ( Ryan Reynolds). The Green Lanterns are an intergalactic peacekeeping force, whose members are given a ring that 'turns thought into reality.' The greatest danger to the corps is Parallax ( Clancy Brown), who represents fear and the yellow energy. A superhero film and the first live-action film adaptation of DC Comics' Green Lantern, released in June 2011.
