Nothing against Cyborg but he really belongs with the Titans and should never be replacing Manhunter. But at the same time I want Hal Jordan even though I like Stewart he is not THE Lantern and obviously DC needs some diversity somewhere so let's hope we at least will get Jordan for the sacrifice of Manhunter. I would love for Stewart to possibly be introduced in the GL movie and get a lot of spotlight in a Green Lantern Corps movie depending on the success of the reboot.

I wouldn't say corny personally but there is something very unwatchable when it comes to DC heroes besides the more street level ones. They hold too much power at times. Superman is that power, Wonder Woman is a god (basically), Green Lantern travels through space and can created anything from his mind. Flash is more relateable but he has to be reduced to a flash that is new, else actually using his powers flash is beyond comprehension.

Davedevil in 2003 was writen by Bendis, nothing could hurt that book with noir Bendis writing it. What happened to that writer? Wish he was still around.

Don't know, but outside one of his jobs, I never liked Frank Miller's take on Daredevil. He made him way too serious.

Flash is kind of a god too. He can travel through time. DC superheroes are overpowered as fuck, I agree with that.

Poor Kyle Rayner and Guy Gardner get no respect. :P

I think even putting John Stewart in the JL now or in any film publication people would have questioned why it wasn't Hal. I don't really know but did people question him in Justice League cartoon?

The comics they're based on are great, especially Suicide Squad. If they take them seriously and not din things down for the masses like Green Lantern, things should go well.

 
Go watch one Of the animated movies.  i recommend son of batman, flashpoint, or assault on arkham.  When you come back, i expect you to edit that post.

Flashpoint Paradox is probably one of my favourite superhero movies, ever.

I actually don't even mind Gardner and Rayner is great I could see him perhaps taking the torch from Jordan long term wise if things work. I'm sure people questioned Stewart at first but it worked and they had no other black characters for the cartoon. The movies are a different story it's the main stage and already have another black character in Cyborg. I mean, like I said I'd love to see Green Lantern grow as a solo franchise alongside JL and possibly get to the corps and red lanterns. Such a shame the 2011 movie was a complete flop because GL has so much potential in its universe and very well should have been what Iron Man became for DC.

Any of these movies can work. DC needs to find the writers that can win both sides of the userbase. They need to hit the right balance of changes/keeping source material, so they don't piss off comic fans.  That's the sole problem. People thought Guardian of the Galaxy was gonna bomb. What happend.

If they based it on the original Gaurdians people wouldn't have had a clue what was going on.

"What do you mean they are from the 31st Centry and the main guy has Captain America's shield? That makes no sense."

I think it worked because they were mostly unknown and people seeing it and saying to their friends 'This is great go see it.' helped. It's the same for Suicide Squad, it could work because no one knows them. The others are all general public characters (and gods) so unless the story is done right it's hard to do it, even the First cap isn't great and out of the X-men films only really 2 maybe 3 are actually any good.
