Green Lantern 's official plot has been unveiled by Warner Bros.

Having chatted with those shadowy investor blokes who put their bajillions into promising movie projects (and then have their names chucked onto the end credits), Warner Bros discussed their ideas for movie version of The Flash, Wonder Woman and… Green Lantern.

They then revealed the full plot synopsis for the movie, giving away in great detail the entire story and curtailing much of the internet speculation.

Take a look below if you dare…

In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers.

But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.

Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity.

With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax… he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

Green Lantern is currently shooting with Martin Campbell at the helm and Ryan Reynolds as the titular hero. It will be released in June 2011.
