The Official Facebook page for the game is now up. There isn't much there at the moment, but I'm sure that will change in the next month or so.
Even though there is next to no information on how the game will actually play, I am looking forawrd to this.
I think it could work, even if the gameplay is as simple as this, it will be enjoyable.
By the end of Justice League Heroes you could play as John, Kyle and Hal, so it was almost like playing a Green Lantern game anyway!
I have previously posted this on arkhamcity.co.uk:

3rd Jan:
This game was announced a while back, but here are some of the first real details:Here is some cool information that Warner Bros. released about the video game that will accompany the release of The Green Lantern. Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters is planned as a multi-platform game set for release on June 1st. Ryan Reynolds' voice and likeness will be used for the game, but at this time it is not known if the other stars of the film will be in the game.Here is what Warner Bros. said about the games storyline:"An android race, originally created by the Guardians of the Universe to serve as the first interstellar police force. The Manhunters became more obsessed with administering punishment than serving justice, forcing the Guardians to dissolve their ranks. The few Manhunters that survived fled into exile and the Guardians founded a new elite police force called the Green Lantern Corps and armed its members with specially crafted power rings. Now the Manhunters are back and out for revenge, readying their forces for a war against the Guardians and the Green Lantern Corps. Faced with destruction, the Corps is looking to you as the newest recruit, gifted but cocky test pilot Hal Jordon, to protect peace and preserve justice."Here is what you will need to do to combat the Green Lanterns' mortal enemies:
Master the Ring: Wield the Green Lantern Power Ring to create a spectacular range of “hard-light” constructs including a gatling gun, giant fists, and much more, all of which can be linked together to form an endless number of combinations.
Stand Together: Join forces with a friend to play as Hal Jordan or Sinestro to battle the Manhunters, with the ability to drop in or out at will.Take Flight: Dodge, blast, and destroy legions of enemies as you soar across the universe in battles of intergalactic foes."
Also, very excited about the CG animated series that starts in November. Bruce Timm, creator of the Emmy award winning Batman the Animated series is involved. It's going to be good. The test footage is entertaining - how often is test footage entertaining?!?They have said that it will focus on Hal, but there may be opportunities for Kyle and the other Earth-based Lanterns to show up as well later down the line. The main villians? Atrocious and the Red Lanterns.
