Eckhart Eyeing Green Lantern?

[Kevin Smith]

Oh, and Barry was 24 when he got his powers and became Flash, Hal was 26 when he got the ring and became GL.

Thanks kevin i thought it was early/mid 20s. Now i dont see anything wrong with mid/late 20s for the characters for the first film and it should be that if its an origin story.

Well that's all fine and dandy for Hal but I think that's a little young for Barry, being a forensic scientist and all. Probably a pretty seasoned one at that.

It reminds me more of Kyle than Hal but I definitely dig it (it pretty much IS Kyle Rayner). Especially the logo. That is just genius.

 

[The Guard]

Meh. Not hard to figure out who they want to be Carol Ferris, is it?

Hal should be at least in his early 30's.

He'll have to be old enough to convincingly train to be an air force pilot, stay there for a while then sent a year or more as a test pilot for Ferris Air.

Am I the only one or do those drawings look like David Boreanaz and Carla Gugino? Who I think actually would be awesome in the respective roles.

Who is it, Guard?

I didn't recognise her.

Exactly what I was thinking and totally agree.

Looks a lot like Jennifer Connelly to me. At least it did the other day. Hal looks like they took David Boreanaz's basic features.

Green Lantern is a bit of a strech but I wouldn't mind seeing Eckhart recycled as Aquaman. He was my Aquaman casting choice long before he got his Harvey Dent role. Eckhart's role in the Nolan-verse is over so appearing again in the new and improved, everything and everybody is related WB superhero universe is possible.

On a similar note regarding Green Lantern and recycled actors, how about..

It's not fair for Brandon to get the short end of the stick because of Singer's poor ideas. If Brandon won't be back as Supes he at least deserves consideration for GL. He's as asset to the studio not a liability.

One of the first things I thought when I saw Routh was that he looked more like Kyle Rayner than Superman. Whether or not WB would let him anywhere near a GL film is debatable.

 

[Crook]

It's not debatable. It makes absolutely no sense to cast him as GL when he already played Superman. That's just moronic, and the same goes for the notion of Eckhart playing this role.

But what happens when Bale as Batman meets Eckhart as Aquaman? It'd be wierd to see those two together again, with one of them playing a differnt character.

And you said "Eckhart's role in the Nolan-verse is over", but then like you said, WB is going for a single film continuity, so technically it's all the same universe. Eckhart would be playing two characters in the same continuity, the DCFU.

Actually Carol Ferris is modeled on Carla Gugino. There's proof going around here somewhere; someone found the exact picture they used. There's no mistaking it, simply by looking at the hair. The only thing is the picture they took had Carla wearing sunglasses, so the eyes might not necessarily be drawn after hers.

If Bale doesn't want to do a Batman movie with Robin in it, what makes you think he would want to be Batman in a JLA movie?

 

[Savage]

I think partnering with other adult heroes is a little different than tagging along with a kid sidekick.

Besides, wasn't he all for the "World's Finest" movie?

You're basing your opinion solely on zealous fanboyism, thinking one character is taking over another character's persona and not as an actor being used to play another role in a similar genre (ie if an actor plays a police officer in one movie, he can play another police officer in a different movie, right?)

Another thing to consider is that the Singer/Donner storyline is now officially done and gone and until determined to be otherwise, the Nolan-verse is an entity into and of itself so there will be no overlapping.

Really? You're gonna compare playing iconic superhero roles to police officers in film? Very weak argument.

I couldn't care less. There are plenty of other actors out there who have the chops and looks to play the role. Why in the world would you want to re-use an actor who has played one of the most famous batvillains in the most popular comic book film to date?

They probably don't. And thank god it won't happen, because the idea is so ludicrous I can't believe I'm even discussing it. This'll stay as one of the fanboy wishes that never come to fruition.
