Well that makes sense, but honestly, that's as bad as Johns' fanboy script, imho. Trying to cram 30 years of history into one or two films makes for bad writing, and I've yet to see an action film handle a face heel turn of their main character and have a franchise change hands, basically. All you'd accomplish is making the general audience feel like all the Hal fans did when he went Parallax the first time.
But GL, as an unknown superhero with a moderate-to-good filmmaking team was never going to make 5, 6, 700Million. 200M is pushing it. And if they had handled the property more wisely, they would have done things like relied on acting and storytelling rather than CGI. They would have been forced to limit the use of his ring, like with its charge for instance, making a tighter, tenser more focused story overall. Giving it that huge budget was just bad, bad business.
They should, but the problem is, they don't care.
And that's what is amazing about this thread. A lot of people coming in and thinking 'why can't WB get it together with their superheroes?' as if WB cares or notices.
