@k4tzm4n:That theory is awesome... Never would have considered that. That would be really great. It makes more sense, considering what is being shown in that screenshot as well.

You got everything I spotted, though I wouldn't have thought Sinestro would be in it- too similar to Hal in terms of gameplay. So possibly an alternate costume? Maybe? Hawk-girl though is a great inclusion.
People keep saying that but it doesn't have to be.
Sure they both will inevitably be similar in terms of their powers aesthetics but the rings can take any shape right. One characters could constructs have him going more for long range while the other would have constructs that have more close range feel to them.
Saying that they will be too similar gameplay-wise even though we've seen nothing of Hal Jordan fighting much less any possible other Lantern in the game is the same concept as saying Ermac and Kenshi plays too similar just cause they're both telekinetic,
I see your point,though when there's only so many spaces within a give roster, they need to justify every spot. Yes, we need a GL villain in there somewhere, and I would love if Sinestro was in it (for some power ring vs power ring action)..but at the most fundamental level, they would play similar- even if its just that both use rings and create constructs. If they can legitimately make the two characters power sets different then fine. But NetherRealm have already stated that they want vastly different types of characters in there. Doesn't completely eliminate the possibility that Sinestro/other Lanterns could make an appearance though, for the reasons you've stated.
Sorry if I come off as to condescending (not sure if that's the right word) but I just felt the need to express my disagreement with the claims of similarity when little to no footage has been shown. Again I don't know if I'm sounding a bit douche with the way I'm typing just to be clear I'm not but although NR said they want vastly different characters it could very well be in terms of personality (I mean they already have Nightwing and Batman). Give Sinestro constructs that look alien in design while Hal has more human design you get that aesthetic difference, close combat non-specials could be just as vastly different. My argument is that on a fundamental level they all play similar considering NR already has broken them down to character types (agile, power, etc.).
You give them vastly differing constructs you already create a big difference in specials, you create differing close combat styles their regular attacks would be vastly different, personality wise and place in plot I think Sinestro could make a strong case at being a "vastly different character" from Hal.
