Hitfix’s article and video features an interview with Erik Davis who is a managing editor for Fandango and Movies.com and while he mentions that there was a lot of art shown that featured the character.  I reached out to Davis, asking him if he could tell which Green Lantern was shown, hoping to at least see if the art might indicated which character would take point in the Justice League prior to the 2020 Green Lantern Corps film.  Davis’ response indicated that either he doesn’t know the characters enough to discern who is who – but more importantly that the art shown may not have been as much concept art from the film as art from the comics.
