Is Green Lantern Coming to a Gaming Console Near You?

Look out fans! We see Green Lantern on the horizon – and it’s not because we’ve been watching too much Big Bang Theory. This month, we spotted a trend with some recent DC Comics trademark filings.  Looks like DC will be rolling out a Green Lantern video game.

Some recent recent trademark filings with the USPTO suggest a Green Lantern comeback.  DC Comics has recently filed intent-to-use (pre-launch) applications to protect the trademark GREEN LANTERN in several categories relevant to computer and video games.
