The Green Lantern is finally starring in a video game, Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters

With the Green Lantern film in production for a June 2011 release, Warner Bros. Interactive is working hard to get a game out for the movie’s release. The game will be titled Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters which “gives players the chance to experience the world of the Green Lantern Mythology in an interactive way, going beyond the events of the film and comic books” according to Samantha Ryan, Senior VP of Production and Development with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

This will actually be the first time DC Comic’s Green Lantern has starred in a video game or movie. Very little is known about the game for now other than that it will “take place across the deepest parts of the Universe to restore intergalactic order by wielding the ultimate weapon: the Green Lantern power ring.”

With the movie tentatively set to be released on June 17^th 2011, I would bet that the Rise of the Manhunters will most likely be released in June 2011 as well. It will be available across the board on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and Nintendo DS.
