Hal was/is the greatest of the GLC to go with any other character for this first movie of the GLC would be giving in to the Political correctness that has dictated movies for too long. They can and I am sure will Introduce John as well as Guy and Kyle in sequals (and Oh Yes, there will be sequals!) I watch a movie for entertainment, to escape reality, without underlying socially redeeming messages that take away from the story line. A movie CAN be for sheer enjoyment and i believe that this one WILL be that movie. my 2 cents.

I believe that any definitive Green Lantern film should be Hal. You could always argue that it should be a Guy Gardner movie because Red Headed Heroes are underrepresented in the comic book world. Take out Guy Gardner, Maxima, and any girl Logan made goo goo eyes with and you are running short. A second problem with using John stewart is that he has not been well written since Mosaic. The most dominant version of that character in the last decade is the one from the Justice League. That version mind you is not the one used in the comic books either. They turned an "angry black man" architect into an ex-military type. which do you use? The original? Or the cop-out for the sake of having a black character on the show? Considering the history and background, I believe that it is much easier to tag a test-pilot as being fearless than it an architect,gym teacher or commercial artist. Until Sinestro has an adult love scene with the Shaggy Man make mine Major Spoilers! Excaliburrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But i agree with Rodrigo, John Stewart would have also been a great choice in the green lantern movie, but we all know how hollywood is.....

I mean thats a crappy reason. I would like to see a remake of Steel though always thought he was an underated character in DC.

I mean, they could have Diddy Raving about green lantern. I know I’ve said this before but they’re really missing out on having a black superhero by not using John Stewart.
