"FIRST FLIGHT" DIRECTOR LAUREN MONTGOMERY ON CREATING GL DISTINCTIONS

One of the challenges facing Green Lantern: First Flight director Lauren Montgomery was a means of really drawing distinctions between the different members of the Green Lantern Corps, each of which utilizes a power ring and the power of their minds. "Each one has a different personality," she says, "and the rings are ruled by their will. It's up to them to decide how they're going to use it in each situation, and I'm sure they have training and they know the basic ideas of what to do in this situation, but Hal Jordan is kind of the guy who improvises the most. So we tried to use that to distinguish him from the rest of the Green Lantern Corps in that he is the most imaginative and creative, and that's what makes him stand out. Of course each of the Green Lanterns can use it in their own way. Sinestro uses it in a very unitarian way -- any shape he needs to get the job done. Whereas Hal will go and make some big, elaborate construct just to do the tiniest of things. It's just part of his personality. So we wanted to distinguish their personalities with that."
