I think that it there is ever a Green Lantern, I think that it is reasonable to assume that the WB will use the versions that have appeared to most outside of comics because those are the ones that general movie goers will associate with, and that leaves Hal Jordan and John Stewart.
Hal Jordan appeared in a season of the Superfriends and was the Green Lantern in some animated shorts featured on another DC Comics cartoon, though I forget what it was called.
John Stewart was the focal GL in Justice League, so younger audiences are going to think of that character of the Green Lantern, and it also brings an African-American into the public eye as a popular superhero.
Alan Scott never appeared in anything outside of comics as far as I know. Kyle Rayner in a few episodes of Superman and Justice League. And Guy Gardener appeared in a failed live-action Justice League movie. The point is, Hal Jordan and John Stewart are the characters that people outside of comic books will remember, IMO.
