GREEN LANTERN Movie Action Figures Reveal Details About the Department of Extranormal Operations

Special inserts included in Mattel's upcoming line of movie-based action figures offer more hints about the clandestine organization headed by Dr. Amanda Waller (Angela Bassett) and said to have an integral part in the upcoming film.

Green Lantern

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.

That DEO seal is much more clandestine and "illuminati" than the comic version. I like. It makes the organization feel a bit more shady.

Which would be ultra-cool if it was all in one overlapping cinematic universe.
Those cowards...

Great! Just when I finally memorized my Kryptonian alphabet, now I have another one to learn. Can't they just come out with a Rosetta Stone version? lol

Damn! I almost thought that title said 'Abstinence Needed' and not 'Assistance Needed'. Laughing out loud
