Green Lantern reboot ideas.

[The Guard]

I gotta completely disagree. GL was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. GL and Catwoman are on the same level for me in terms of enjoyment. IMO Reynolds was one of the worst parts. Reynolds was bad, Lively was bad, Sarsgaard was terrible, Tim Robbins was bad, Angela Basset was bad...and on top of all these bad performances was a horrible script, and terrible art direction

You're welcome to your opinion, but I think this is absurdly hyperbolic. You must not have seen very many bad movies to make that claim.

Lively was more than solid.

Sarsgaard was fantastic. The role was underwritten/underwhelming, but his performance, from an acting standpoint, was fantastic.

And Angela Basset is never bad.

 

[TommyJones1945]

I really liked Reynolds for Hal, I but really wish they do an extensive search for a good up and comer. I'm thinking a young Harrison Ford ( circa Star Wars or Raiders of he Lost Ark). Plus I don't see Sinestro as a traditional villian. I would like to see him portrayed more as anti hero

They would probably do that for Hal. Already did it for WW, Supes & Barry.

 

[Lantern Venom]

I dunno, based on GL: First Flight, i can see Sinestro working as the first villain. Second movie would work too though. I agree, a Sinestro Corps movie has to happen some time

First Flight is the greatest non-comic representation of the Green Lantern Corps ever done, with Emerald Knights being a close second. That template could very well have worked with the live-action movie.

One of best elements was the GLC-as-peacekeepers was put to the forefront. My concern for JLA is all of the members being portrayed as equals, not just window dressing for Superman and Batman.

 

[brainchild81]

Way to trim the fat in that counter-argument O intelligent teacher(its sarcasm, if you don't get it). Its still seems dumb dude. If you think watching two animated movies and one episode makes you an expert on a character with a half a century long history then you're even lamer than I thought.

I could say that I've seen more than just 2 animated films w/Hal in them, but that would distract from another example of your stupidity. I don't need to explain myself any further because I never claimed to be an expert on him, did I? That's some powerful stupid you got going on there. Find an example of me saying that I was an expert on Hal or just ****. As I said before, think before you accuse someone of telling lies. We'd get along much better if you thought more before you posted instead of being so blinded by fanboy rage that you see things that ain't there. Work on that. You're the only Hal supporter I'm having this problem with.

The GL creative team was replaced. Old writers left, and new ones came in when Geoff finished Wrath of the first lantern. The current writer's telling you right in the face, they were no such plans but I guess you can create BS around it to prove your points.

Teams get replaced all the time. There's rarely any controversy. I'd like to hear from the writer who left, not the one who's still working for DC & wants to keep it that way. We should hear that before we make final judgement.

Next time word your stuff better. You really need to learn how to talk when race comes up.

lol Next time just don't be stupid. I don't need to learn anything. Nobody else seemed to get what you got out of it, especially after I spelled it out. Once again, you're the only horse that hasn't crossed the finish line. Aren't you getting tired of that? Your mistake was thinking I'd "imply" something in the 1st place. I don't do that. If I thought a character only appealed to a certain race or anything like that I wouldn't imply it. I'd just come right out & say it. You fail again. Do better.

The sides of his helmet has wings, but they're engraved into it. I don't care if you hate Hal for whatever reason you have, but his costume isn't far off from possible to being adapted.

So they changed Caps look to make him more acceptable to the GA. It happens & I think it's a good idea. Hawkeye always looked alright to me in the comics because I'm a fan, but I don't think his classic look is good for live action. I was ok w/them changing it on film. My main problem w/Hal's look in live action has always been the mask. It's something that even some Hal fans admit isn't optimal. We got fanboys like you who think the mask is too important to the character to omit. Using John is a win for everybody! Hal gets to keep his fanboys happy by keeping the silly mask & people who think the mask looks silly in live action get to see a hero cool enough not to wear it!

The burden of proof isn't one me. Do you have any proof DC still cares for the GL movie? Do you have any proof they are looking for someone to blame it on? You really have no idea what you're talking about. They don't care about the movie, and are still using Hal irregardless how many of you use the word toxic pertaining to him. You might care, but no one gives a s***.

lol. Fanboys like you do. Stop being a wuss. You made the claim that they forgot it. That's what we're talking about. Nothing else. All this "do they still care for it" & "are they looking for somebody to blame" crap is just noise, you're trying to change things around from what you started with & it's easy to see. This started when you said that DC had FORGOTTEN about it. Like many things you say, it was stupid as hell. You have 2options. You can own up to it & admit you chose your words poorly or you can prove your stupid claim. Since your actions show you don't have a clue, here's how claims work on forums: You make the claim. You get the evidence to prove it. If I say Spider-Man has flight & invulnerability as part of his powerset, I have to prove he does. I can't ask someone to prove he doesn't. They don't have to prove a damn thing. They didn't make the claim. Got it? Burden of proof IS on you & it's not debatable. It's put up or shut up time, kid. Nobody's falling for your tricks. You're not going to ******** your way out of this one, kid

t: Yes, cus you can hamper the success of the movie. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Man, you say stuff so dumb it hurts. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Where did I say I could hamper anything? Are you being stupid AGAIN? Work on that, kid.

I gotta completely disagree. GL was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. GL and Catwoman are on the same level for me in terms of enjoyment.

You may be going a lil far. GL was horrible, but GL didn't just flat out flush the comics down the toilet like Catwoman did. That wouldn't be so bad if they'd used a good original script. They didn't. Catwoman was so horrible that even Halle Berry w/a revealing costume couldn't keep me interested.

Which was the point.

He was too *****ey to root for tho. Using partner as decoy, costing people jobs because of ego. I was sympathizing w/the former coworkers who wanted to kick his ass. That's a problem.

I specifically mentioned two movies, cus those where the only ones which displayed his character. In the JL movies you're referencing, he did nothing more than taking a backseat to the other league members. Or wait, do you want to tell me watching jl movies like JL: Doom somehow makes eligible enough to say all those inane things you posted? Now you claim not to be an expert on the character yet, you claim he's uniteresting, goofy, unlikeable etc. At least, stand by the BS you talk about. Sheesh.

Teams get replaced all the time. There's rarely any controversy. I'd like to hear from the writer who left, not the one who's still working for DC & wants to keep it that way. We should hear that before we make final judgement.

Until you have any proof Vendetti was lying, then I suggest you just ****. He's stating they were no such plans. Bring proof the writer quit cus DC wanted John dead. Everyone one was replaced. Dang it. How hard-headed are you exactly??????????

lol Next time just don't be stupid. I don't need to learn anything. Nobody else seemed to get what you got out of it, especially after I spelled it out.

The only person here who's "failing" here is they guy who speaks like a six year old when such trivial issues come up. Grow in intelligence, or remain stupid--Your choice.

Nice touch revealing how biased you are. Really explains a lot. You like a mask on a character you like, but on a character you don't like, its stupid and silly. I feel bad for whoever has the trouble of living with someone as hypocritical as you. I really haven't seen anyone saying the mask isn't good. TBH its not even an issue. You are literally the first person I've seen b******* about it. But TBH your lazy input doesn't really matter. DC's given Hal the mask in live action and they'll do it again. They even gave GA and BC their masks, so they have no qualms about it.

Fanboys like you do. Stop being a wuss. You made the claim that they forgot it. That's what we're talking about. Nothing else.

And here I was thinking the internet was running out of people who've lost their nut. You were the first to claim they still gave two cents about the movie. Its all part of your inane ploy to diss Hal as this character who's only associated with failure, and how DC should shun him as a result. I only brought up the movie cus u mentioned it. Its close to 2014, and I could care less about such a movie. Lol. Its so funny, even after the movie DC didn't even consider putting John in the premier spot. Shows you how much John matters in these sorts of things-Not much. If you have proof DC still remember the movie, then bring it. This "I'm stupid blah blah is really just making you look dumb TBH .

Where did I say I could hamper anything? Are you being stupid AGAIN? Work on that, kid.

You said hampering their pockets would teach them lesson if they used the new52 roster--You know, the roster which is most definitely appearing on screen. You are stating by withholding your measly thirteen dollars you are in fact achieving sth and hampering the movie's box office earnings. Probably the lamest thing you've said till date---And that means a lot.

Fail. I NEVER claimed to be an expert on him, genius. Nothing has changed. Any change YOU see is caused by the same stupidity that has caused you to see many things that ain't there. Work on that. I don't find him interesting & I think he looks goofy. I don't see what's so hard for you to grasp about it. I haven't said anything inane, only stuff that you don't agree with & thus your feeble fanboy mind can't process. I already told you to work on that reading comprehension. If there's an adult nearby you can have them read my posts & explain them to you. Notice how you're the only one w/this problem? Think about it, kid

This is speculation on both our parts. Neither one of is is sure what happened. I'll drop it until I feel like digging.

The only person here who's "failing" here is they guy who speaks like a six year old when such trivial issues come up. Grow in intelligence, or remain stupid--Your choice.

Fail, & a lame one at that. I'll consider changing my post style when smart people don't get me. Confusing somebody like you isn't cause for concern, it appears to be the norm.

You are literally the first person I've seen b******* about it.

More stupidity from you. Hawkeye's mask actually covers up enough to conceal his identity. It's silly looking tho & not best for live action. Hal's is silly looking AND not functional. See the difference? Sadly, you probably won't get it because you're not too bright. (Surprise me, kid! You can do it! )One of the few things Rorschach & I agreed on was Hal's mask not being good for live action. You were probably too busy being dumb to notice. Fail again

And here I was thinking the internet was running out of people who've lost their nut. You were the first to claim they still gave two cents about the movie. Its all part of your inane ploy to diss Hal as this character who's only associated with failure, and how DC should shun him as a result. I only brought up the movie cus u mentioned it. Its close to 2014, and I could care less about such a movie.

But you haven't forgotten it. lol. Please stop the BS, kid. It's just not working. I gave you a way out on this one & you weren't smart enough to take it. So you're just gonna keep trying to dance around it instead of admitting "DC's forgotten it" was a mega stupid thing to say. It won't kill you to admit what everybody already knows, kid. How could they forget a failure of that magnitude? You could have said it was a poor choice of words, but instead you're gonna just keep marching down the same dumbass path. So sad....stupid & sad.

Seriously, does anybody with a working brain(That means you stay out of this, Tommy ) think WB/DC's forgotten about this critical AND financial failure of a movie they spent so much money on?

You said hampering their pockets would teach them lesson if they used the new52 roster--You know, the roster which is most definitely appearing on screen. You are stating by withholding your measly thirteen dollars you are in fact achieving sth and hampering the movie's box office earnings.

lol Ya got zombie brains there, kid. I said

If they go w/the new 52 roster they can count me out. I'd want it to flop.

I don't like the new 52 JL roster. If using it on film hurts their pockets, they might try something else.

You should use the quote function more. It would prevent these dumb lil hiccups you keep having. I'm saying that I'd want it to flop, not that me withholding my money will cause it to. I damn sure wouldn't pay to see a movie that I want to flop now would I?

Nobody else but you is making these foolish mistakes. Please stop being so dumb. At least make some kind of effort, kid. Explaining these things to you is just taking up post space. The other posters don't need the explanations because they're smart enough to understand things & the explanations aren't really helping you because you aren't bright enough to catch on. You need an adult.

No one said you're a genius moron. But for someone to speak evil gospel about a character they have to freakin know him, which clearly you don't. Which makes it all the while daunting how someone can say such. Though your feeble mindlessness does a faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar better job at explaining why someone would do such.

This is speculation on both our parts. Neither one of is is sure what happened. I'll drop it until I feel like digging.

I'm pretty sure in what I said, cus you know....the writer said they were no such plans. I don't know why you don't get it, but its understandable, when putting your thickheadedness into the equation.

Fail, & a lame one at that. I'll consider changing my post style when smart people don't get me. Confusing somebody like you isn't cause for concern, it appears to be the norm.

If you consider people being unable to comprehend what you spout a "norm", then there's sth clearly wrong with you. But hey, your choice.

More stupidity from you. Hawkeye's mask actually covers up enough to conceal his identity. It's silly looking tho & not best for live action. Hal's is silly looking AND not functional.

Hawkeye's mask is silly looking. Even moreso than Hal's. But hey, bring in functionality to reject the claim you're biased. Ehem, it failed. You've done nothing but harp on about how silly it is yet enjoy another mask which looks even sillier. STOP BEING SUCH A HYPOCRITE. Stick by your BS. Even then at least I can create an ounce of respect for you. Its not much, but it'll probably be the highest amount of respect anyone's given you.

But you haven't forgotten it. lol. Please stop the BS, kid. It's just not working. I gave you a way out on this one & you weren't smart enough to take it.

Wow, someone was so hurt by the John comment they cut it out cus they couldn't face it. There, there, don't feel to sad the people that matter don't give an inkling about him. Maybe after 10 yrs of JL and GL Hal, Guy and Kyle movies, John'll be considered then. DC neither cares nor do they remember it. Its not their first terrible movie, and it probably won't be their last. Unless you have proof, you're doing nothing but try to convince me your brain is filled with nothing but rocks. And ding ding, its working.

lol Ya got zombie brains there, kid. I said

Lol. I srsly won't be surprised if this brainchild guy is actually some kid with a brain disease in a hospital somewhere lol. First off, the movie isn't going to flop over your measly thirteen dollars. Second, surprise surprise, that's what you implied. You said you're withholding your money, then you followed it up by stating it'll somehow hurt their pockets, and then they'll forgo their plans bcus of your money. I'm literally LOLing out loud over this. Man you need help!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

[brainchild81]

lol. You really don't get anything. You obviously didn't get an adult like I asked you to. I'm gonna keep this short. Your stupidity is over 9000 & I don't think I can put a dent in it. Stupidity + fanboy fueled hostility is a bad combo. I can't help you. Maybe another Hal supporter can explain this stuff to you. I imagine they gotta be tired of seeing you make stuff up & look stupid.


1. "No one said you're a genius moron". Seriously, WTF are you even talking about? You're making even less sense than you normally do. "Evil gospel"? I gave my opinions on a fictional character, dude. You act as if I called your mom a ****e. You really need to get a handle on this, kid. I already said I know enough about him. You disagree. That's awesome. Have fun w/that. So now we gotta read volume after volume on a character before we decide they're lame? Nah, buddy. You gotta deal better w/opinions you don't agree with. Grow the hell up dude. This ain't life or death stuff. These are fictional characters, not family members.

2. The writer who is there said it. Does that prove it's true? I think the words of the writer who left would mean more. You probably still won't get it. So very stupid.

3. YOU not understanding me is the norm. People (w/brains) understand me just fine. I only have this problem w/you. What part of that are you not getting, genius?

4. Silly & functional beats just silly. Rorsh already said Hal's mask in a movie is kinda dumb &doesn't conceal his identy. Doesn't matter though because they nixed it for Hawkeye. I'm not clinging onto Hawkeye's mask & I'm glad they nixed it. You're the fanboy ******* Hal's mask like it's a must-have thing. Hawkeye's been modified for GA consumption and featured in two very successful live action movies now. Hal and his silly mask? Hell to the no! Big time failure. Get that lame crap outta here. Ain't nobody got time for that Seriously tho, Hal's mask was even expensive because CGI ain't cheap. That just adds to the money lost on that crap. It's okay tho, WB/DC's forgotten about all that money

5. Your comment was irrelevant to the convo. I've already agreed w/Rorsh, Scar P & others that DC don't care too much about John. I'm not really sure what the point of your comment was. Were you trying to be funny? The fact that nobody laughed says a lot Really pathetic attempt kid. Focus more energy into understanding what you read. No offense, but jokes and insults should be dead last on your priorities list. You're not good at them. Was the comment supposed to draw attention away from your insanely stupid comment about DC forgetting about the GL film? Fail. Do better. I'm rooting for you

6. "First off, the movie isn't going to flop over your measly thirteen dollars." 1st off, I know this. That's why I said "I'm saying that I'd want it to flop, not that me withholding my money will cause it to". How did you not get that? You freaking quoted me on it. You sound very stupid, son. That's enough. I tried to help you & I've spelled many things out for ya. You're determined to be stupid(and experienced at it). I leave you in the hands of the Hal supporters. Somebody please help this poor kid.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Oh my god. Take this to a pm or something. This is annoying. Everyone stop arguing about such stupid ****. You guys both look like idiots. Obviously I have my opinion on who is more illogical and idiotic, but you guys are both being those things. Stop wasting your time arguing. You're not getting anywhere, you guys have gone at it for too long with absolutely no progress.

I gave up trying to argue with brainchild a while ago. His opinion isn't one i can agree with, but i can't argue with the validity of his opinions because they're....opinions.

both of you are trying to play it cool and act like you guys aren't getting to each other, but it's pretty clear you're both fired up. and both of you are insulting one another's intelligence, but i assure you, as an outsider looking at this situation, you both look equally dumb here. It's hard to not look dumb when you're passionately arguing about fictional superheroes

Tommy- i feel for you. it's frustrating arguing about a character that you know well and care about with someone who is admittedly not well educated on the character. But because of this, his opinions are going to be very different from your own. until he has learned as much about the character/watched/read as much about the character, it's best not to discuss it with him. You guys aren't on the same level here. A casual fan of an animated series arguing with a hardcore comics fan just doesn't work. Let him live blissfully in ignorance, because you know how great a character Hal is. Be satisfied that you can get so much out of the character, but don't be disappointed when someone else can't get the same thing out of him when they don't care enough to venture out and read/watch stuff about him.

A way to keep everyone happy is to have Hal as the lead in a GL solo movie after they've introduced Idris Elba as Green Lantern in Justice League.

Daniel Alter, a producer who keeps tweeting information about BvS, tweeted something about Elba as Green Lantern. Maybe he's heard something?

Also, theres a rumor that Elba was considered for Luthor, but was passed over because of his obligations to Thor. I hope this isn't true, he should definitely be John Stewart

 

[brainchild81]

lol. WTF Rorsh?! Where were you all this time? You could've stopped this a while ago. I understand you don't wanna look like you're choosing sides (especially not mine ) , but hearing that he's outta line about some of this stuff from a Hal supporter would have probably gave him something to think about. Assuming that somebody is watching this from the outside & thinks we look like idiots, that person will also see that one of the idiots accused the other one of telling lies for no reason. That's really not cool & only serves to exacerbate things. When he's not doing that he's putting words in the other one's mouth, also exacerbating things. One of the idiots is getting so mad about insults to a fictional character that he's personally insulting the one making them. You honestly can't deny these things because you've been watching. lol This all might translate to "HE STARTED IT!!!!!" but well, he did.

This idea that people have to have encyclopedic knowledge of Hal before they say something bad about him is a dangerous one.

I honestly don't like wasting post space, so I'll just ignore him until he says something worthwhile. My apologies to anybody who had to see these pointless exchanges.

I don't think the JS in GL & then Hal AGAIN in solo movies idea will make everyone happy.

I think that if John is a hit, the logical outcome is that audiences will want more JS, not more Hal.

I kinda want to see some buddy cop stuff w/John & Guy using Idris & that ******* guy from Pacific Rim. He's perfect for guy.

 

[Rorschach2012]

okay

I've been saying that i wouldn't mind seeing Stewart in JL, with Hal and John as the leads for solo GL. That sounds good to me

I don't care about Guy. He's okay.. I'd rather see Hal and John together as the leads than a John/Guy movie, which i think is incredibly unlikely anyways.

edit: thinking about it more, a John/Guy movie actually sounds like a good idea. That's pretty much what the comic Green Lantern Corps is about. If John and Guy were the leads for a solo movie, I'd still feel robbed if Hal wasn't involved at all. Maybe he could be a villain for one of the John/Guy movies?

In the first John/Guy movie, the Guardians and other GL corps could reference how Hal went missing during a mysterious mission. It'd be too late before the guardians reveal that he was tracking a lead on the yellow energy, and he ends up infected by Parallax. Infected Hal could be the villain for a second movie.

In a third hypothetical movie, Hal would become part of the corps again after being separated from Parallax. I think the villain for a third movie would have to be huge...maybe Nekron

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

How bout Hal, John, Guy, Kilowogg, Ch'p, Katma Tui, etc.

Like Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty, Chekhov, Uhura, etc.

Aka why not embrace the corps aspect like Star Trek with Starfleet.

My ideal team for this model would be

I agree. Introduce one GL in JL (my choice is John) and then have John hook up with the Green Lantern Corp in the solo movie.

Oh my god. Take this to a pm or something. This is annoying. Everyone stop arguing about such stupid ****. You guys both look like idiots. Obviously I have my opinion on who is more illogical and idiotic, but you guys are both being those things. Stop wasting your time arguing. You're not getting anywhere, you guys have gone at it for too long with absolutely no progress.

I gave up trying to argue with brainchild a while ago. His opinion isn't one i can agree with, but i can't argue with the validity of his opinions because they're....opinions.

both of you are trying to play it cool and act like you guys aren't getting to each other, but it's pretty clear you're both fired up. and both of you are insulting one another's intelligence, but i assure you, as an outsider looking at this situation, you both look equally dumb here. It's hard to not look dumb when you're passionately arguing about fictional superheroes

Tommy- i feel for you. it's frustrating arguing about a character that you know well and care about with someone who is admittedly not well educated on the character. But because of this, his opinions are going to be very different from your own. until he has learned as much about the character/watched/read as much about the character, it's best not to discuss it with him. You guys aren't on the same level here. A casual fan of an animated series arguing with a hardcore comics fan just doesn't work. Let him live blissfully in ignorance, because you know how great a character Hal is. Be satisfied that you can get so much out of the character, but don't be disappointed when someone else can't get the same thing out of him when they don't care enough to venture out and read/watch stuff about him.

A way to keep everyone happy is to have Hal as the lead in a GL solo movie after they've introduced Idris Elba as Green Lantern in Justice League.

Daniel Alter, a producer who keeps tweeting information about BvS, tweeted something about Elba as Green Lantern. Maybe he's heard something?

Also, theres a rumor that Elba was considered for Luthor, but was passed over because of his obligations to Thor. I hope this isn't true, he should definitely be John Stewart

Fine. I was getting bored of it, and its not like I was getting any with the guy.

Glad to see you'd want John to be in the JL movie. But the question is why? Because he was on a TV show that ended six years ago. Because of that one interpretation we just kick Hal out of the mix even though he's been around for much longer, is still around, and was actually the league founder. I've no qualms about him appearing in a sequel or GL movie, but him being the JL founder/member while Hal is still around and still premier green lantern is where I can't stand it.

Am I the only one who skips pasts arguements between two individuals using multiple qoutes?

None taken. It's probably a wise policy. I wish I'd skipped that **** myself

How bout Hal, John, Guy, Kilowogg, Ch'p, Katma Tui, etc.

Like Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty, Chekhov, Uhura, etc.

Aka why not embrace the corps aspect like Star Trek with Starfleet.

My only question is why the hell hasn't WB/DC hired you yet?! That last film was too busy trying to make one dude look good and in doing so they made the rest of the GLC look like punk *****es. I'm all for a film that really focuses on the corps aspect

My argument is that it'll be easier for GAs to warm up the Green Lantern (and the Justice League movie) if it's not Hal Jordan, the guy from that movie they saw as a complete failure. It's not impossible with Hal, but definitely a steeper uphill battle.

If GAs begin to like Green Lantern in JL with John, they're more likely to go to the solo film (assuming we ever get one).

Regarding the founding members thing; movies change things all the time. Avengers had different members after all.

But don't fret, WB will probably go with Hal for the JL movie (assuming they even have GL in there).

I also see the WB going with Hal and casting a black actor as Cyborg or Martian Manhunter.

I say keep Hal and move the next movie into outerspace. The problem I had with the first movie is that it felt bipolar. I wanted to be a character piece on Earth and a space epic at the same time. All it added up to was short changed characters on Earth and in space. Green Lantern to most of the GA that known of him think he is a space cop so why they for a lack of a better word "grounded" Green Lantern is beyond me. I also feel it had too much of what I call the "Marvel humor". Now Iron Man is my second favorite comic and I liked Phase 1 films so I am not a Marvel hater. I just feel that Phase 2 and Avengers has had too much humor. Humor is good but not in the face of a threat and definitely not when people die. Hey, hundreds died lets go get Shawarma! would be an example. Green Lantern I thought also stepped into this territory.

That's the thing. There's absolutely zero uphill battle taking place. No one in the GA cares or gives two sh*** about the movie. Too most of them it was just a bad superhero flick with Ryan as the star. No one's going to pin anything on Hal Jordan if he gets cast for in the JL movie or tell themselves they'll miss out on a movie starring Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and the like. Not to mention the fact that the audience doesn't really care about the money problems(unless they have money invested in DC so I don't see any more reason why'd the money problems would be a factor.

There's really no reason why Hal(or John) can't be likeable. All you need's a good writer, and almost any character can be interesting.

You got me here. While movies do change stuff, in this specific case, there's no need. Unlike the JL/JLU case, Hal's alive, while also starring as the main green lantern and a founding member of DC's newest incarnation. Its only natural, it transitions to the big screen.

They should just make Justice League Hal black.

Then no one will be happy, but they'll all have to make up hilarious reasons instead of telling the truth.

Or he could be the new hybrid character John "Baz" Jordan, a gay muslim who works two jobs as architect and pilot. He could also have Kyle's crab mask, Guy's 90s bowl cut, and Alan's purple cape.

And general audiences still won't give a fig about a green guy with a magic ring.
