Live Blogging The Green Lantern, Sucker Punch and Harry Potter Panels

Welcome to Saturday! After a great first two days of panels, we enter the weekend with a truly incredible line-up including the much anticipated Marvel panel, Let Me In, and Paul, but before all that begins, we kick it all off with the stacked presentation from Warner Bros. which includes our first look at Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch and Martin Campbell’s The Green Lantern as well as even more footage from the upcoming Harry Potter films.

Green Lantern Panel

11:54 Green Lantern up first! Let’s light it up! Geoff Johns takes the stage to introduce the footage.

11:58 Short but absolutely awesome. We don’t see the suit in the trailer but the powers are there for sure. Big green fist, Hector Hammond screaming, all very quick shots. Quite short compared to the other footage we've seen here at the Con, but then again the movie isn't done yet. Here are the details: The trailer opens with a ball of green light that a voice over says feeds on a person’s will to glow, speaking directly to the audience. The ball gets brighter and brighter before getting to a quick montage that shows Reynolds running towards the crash of the spaceship, scientists performing an autopsy on the dead Abin Sur, and Peter Saarsgaard screaming (with a mutated head). Reynolds is then getting beaten up by a gang when we see the ring on his finger begin to glow. He picks himself up, and swings wildly at the air, but a giant fist emerges and blows everyone away. No comedy here but plenty of badass.

11:59 Greg Berlanti, Donald DeLine, Martin Campbell, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds take the stage

12:00 Reynolds says that the character can throw a punch, tell a joke and kiss a girl.

12:03 Sarsgaard describes his character's head as a 60 hat size

12:04 The director confirms that there is some humor in the film, largely thanks to Reynold's presence.

12:06 Campbell says that the costume isn't finished and does have black in it (but no white gloves). The idea behind it is to show something like human musculature.

12:08 Kilowog will be featured in the film!

12:11 There's still three weeks of shooting left to go in Louisiana.

12:13 Sarsgaard describes Hammond as "the kid who licked the battery"

12:16 Is this the start of a shared DC Universe? Johns says "maybe," but he can't talk about it here.

12:17 Sinestro gets a chance to "kick ass" while training Hal Jordan as a member of the Green Lantern Corp
