Agreed, no big name stars as JL members, that is why I don't want Ryan Gosling as Flash.
There's no reason why the Movie couldn't have the big 7. The Justice League cartoon managed to introduce 7 characters, giving us a reason for their formation, a little backstory on the threat that was endangering earth and wrapped it all up in 60 minutes. Why wouldn't a Movie, that will at least last 2 hours, be able to accomplish the same?
Why do people think Green Lantern would suddenly be succesful if he's a black guy over a new white guy?
John's more often than not a boring, depressing character. I'd rather they use Alan Scott before John.

Because it's an extreme departure from the Ryan Reynolds version.
I'm a fan of Hal Jordan first and in the perfect world, I'd want a rebooted Hal in this movie.
But I think it's just easier for Warners to appeal to the diversity mandate and reinvent Green Lantern drastically, cutting all ties to the RR film, by going with John Stewart.
Someone else mentioned earlier that they could bring in another Black character instead, like Cyborg. It's certainly possible... but the fans wouldn't be too happy.
Nobody thinks he can "suddenly" be more successful. It's just that anything but Hal Jordan (whom whether u get Reynolds or another actor they're going to want that look and humor attached) is going to be better received.
John Stewart adds up. He was the plan originally. They went with a different plan and it backfired. Now they should go back to that original JLA black Green Lantern plan. It's a different character, it's an evolution, you dont HAVE to make him so serious all the time. The man can have a bit of humor but just don't make it his calling card.
One thing i dont want is for them to model everything after the Avengers lineup. Hal Jordan as the Tony Stark, Aquaman as the Thor of the group, WW as the Black Widow, Superman as the Captain America, Martian Manhunter in the smaller Nick Fury or Hawkeye role, etc.
You need to have diversity but you dont NEED to have a complete Stark like character. It oozes out of Reynolds, and i just dont want it near JLA.
One thing to keep in mind is that Green Arrow will have a TV series that, if it's good in the ratings, will be several seasons in if there is a JL movie. Whether this would make it more likely or less likely that Ollie would be in a JL movie is up for debate.
Also, I think we should stop worrying about having characters in or not in based on whether they match up with people in the Avengers. Remember, this JL movie is still at least three years away, if it is made at all. By then, the Avengers hype will have died down a bit, and the fact is that you could have 4/7ths of the team be people who stupid moviegoers would think are "Avenger rip-offs" but it wouldn't matter so along as the other three are Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
Except there WILL be an Avengers sequel in about 3 YEARS... So the argument about the hype having died down means nothing. Wtf are you talking about? Green Arrow and Hawkeye have the exact same powers. Theyre both really good with a bow. Avengers beat DC to the punch and now DC would seem like a ripoff. You seriously don't realize that? Okay dude..It's obvious. Don't include GA in JL.
