- Did the Big Bang Theory
spoil Green Lantern
in Justice League?
Is it safe to say that Justice
League just got Bazinga'd?
Oh that fucking show.
DC's upcoming Justice League movie
has been forced to leap
over higher hurdles
than most average superhero flicks.
Massive re-shoots, director switch-ups
and Henry Cavill's facial hair
have been just a few of the obstacles
threatening to destroy
Warner's temple film
before it's November 17th release date.
But despite all that,
Justice League has managed
to stay on course and vanquish
all of it's enemies until now.
Wonder Woman, Batman,
Superman and the rest
of the JLA may have finally
met the two villians
that will take them down for
good, Leonard and Sheldon.
Or as you probably better know them,
those Bazingos from the
show that your mom loves.
- Do you really need the
honorary Justice League
of America membership card?
- Yes, the Big Bang Theory
has spent an entire decade
cynically leeching off of nerd culture
in what we can only assume is
a prolonged attempt to
destroy it once and for all
and now they've launched
their most devious plot yet.
The show, which like Justice League,
is also produced by Warner Brothers,
recently announced a sweepstakes,
or as they cleverly re-branded it,
a Geekstakes, tie in with the film.
Now the contest requires
you to spin a wheel
to find out which member of
the Justice League you are,
or something like that
because honestly, who cares?
The ultimate prize is that you
get to go see Justice League.
The wheel features the
logos for all of the heroes
from the film, including,
and this might be a spoiler
for those who missed the
title of this episode
so turn away now if you
don't want to hear it.
Turn away now, the Green Lantern.
- I know right?
- That's right, the appearance
of the Green Lantern Corps
in Justice League, which until now DC
has been extremely secretive about,
may have just been confirmed
by a Big Bang Theory
contest thingy, no!
Curse you Leonard, curse you Sheldon,
you have Bazinga'd us again.
Uhh, how do you keep doing this to us?
Ga, I can't even act it
seriously, it's so stupid.
- Bazinga.
- But in all seriousness,
there have been rumors
of a Green Lantern or two popping up
in Justice League for some time now.
The last few trailers
even hinted at it a bit,
opening up with a
monologue from Steppenwolf,
mentioning the fact that
there are no lanterns
here to protect the earth.
Plus, we know Warners is developing
a Green Lantern Corps film
and it makes sense that
they'd want to start
laying the groundwork for
that in Justice League
so yeah, it was a pretty safe bet
that they'd show up.
It's just kind of hilarious
that this was the way
that we all found out for sure.
This wasn't even a contest tie in with
the currently airing 11th
season of The Big Bang Theory,
which that sentence
alone blows my damn mind.
11 seasons of this?
This was actually a contest tie in
with syndicated reruns
of The Big Bang Theory.
Something tells us there's a low level
Warner Brothers marketing exec somewhere
who just got themselves in
a little bit of hot water.
But regardless of how we found out,
Green Lanterns are most
likely going to be in
Justice League, so how would
they fit into the plot?
Well our theory is that
a more alien lantern,
like maybe Abin Sur, will
show up late in the game
to offer a little off world
assistance to the League.
And sure, it may seem
a little shoe-horned in
but don't forget, that's
exactly how Wonder Woman
made her first appearance in the DCEU.
Sur will eventually
get killed and the ring
will be up for grabs and
we'll see it find it's way
to Hal Jordan, John Stewart
or some other human lantern,
most likely in a post-credit scene.
But what do you Bazinga's think?
- Bazinga.
- Did The Big Bang Theory just Bazinga
a Green Lantern cameo for us?
- Bazinga.
- And more importantly,
has The Big Bang Theory
spoiled life for everyone
who's ever Bazinga'd it?
- Bazinga.
- And honestly, how hard do you Bazinga?
- Bazinga.
- Let's Bazinga.
