Trivia:

Near the beginning, the thug that tries to mug Jimmy Olsen's camera is clearly modeled after Guy Gardner, another Earth Green Lantern in the comics who's attitude borders on that of an anti-hero.

Quotes:

Guardian #1:We are grateful for your help, but there is much work for you on your home planet, Green Lantern of sector 2-8-1-4.
The Green Lantern aka Kyle Rayner:No offense, but you guys can't be serious. There must be someone better suited for the job, like him.
[indicates Superman]
Guardian #1:The ring has chosen you, Kyle Rayner.
The Green Lantern aka Kyle Rayner:But I'm just an artist. I doodle in the margins of notepads, I daydream about color and form, and monster trucks. I live half my life in a fantasy world.
Superman:You sound perfect.
