**SPOILER**
A light one, but a spoiler nonetheless. You've been warned.
A couple of people have asked me what the moment in the Green Lantern was that I really enjoyed, and I have hemmed and hawed about telling them, for no real reason, but why night.
Remember, this may be a spoiler (not really, but some people are complete douchebags on these interwebs).
After Hal Jordan makes his public debut as the Green Lantern, rescuing Carol Ferris and then flying off as the mystery man, he returns to Carol's office to actually introduce himself.
He changes his voice (adding a bit of a growl) and is wearing the domino mask and starts talking...(and this is the moment that is different from other superhero films)and Carol asks, "Hal? Hal Jordon?"
Hal is taken aback and asks how she knew.
"I've known you since we were five. I've seen you naked!"
Too often this "great friends" in superhero films never recognize the ease at which someone would see through the mask. When the filmmakers ask for a willing suspension of disbelief on our part regarding things like flying and such, but...when they ask for it on something that doesn't require it, it is a bit of a cheat.
It made me very happy that this film that did a number of things adequately did something unique and well.
