Collider recently had an exclusive interview with WB Chairman Alan Horn in which he let this little tidbit go
I then say Green Lantern? “Also on the board. On the runway. Hasn’t taken off yet, but we’re close.”
I finally ask what he thinks the next Superhero property might be from Warner Bros. He says “I think Green Lantern is probably the best guess but I can’t promise it at this moment.”
And Justice League? “Not yet.”
I'm equal parts excited and nervous for this. If the movie does get made I'm afraid that ole GL wont be one of those superheros that is easily adaptable to the screen, his origin story is sound and really the things that great movies are made of I'm more worried about seeing him in action. Green Lantern is my faviorite of the JLA, but I just dont know how you can bring his action scenes out in today's hyper real superhero world without looking cheesey. Superman's laser vision and freeze breath were made for the silver screen, but GL uses his ring to make all manner of objects, like how the T1000 used himself in Terminator 2. So how are people going to react when the villian...whoever they use...is grabbed by a giant glowing green hand, or hit with a green glowing sledge hammer? Maybe I'm missing some stuff but I just think GL is more of a comic book only type entry. Also the question arises of which Lantern to use, Hal Jordan is the obvious choice, but Kyle Ranner has a pretty cool story as well in my opinon. What are your thoughts?
