This is the fact that mostly all the great Super Heroes were created during the 30's to 60's when American society was totally engulfed and blinded by racism and a side effect of this was that all the major Super heroes were white. Green Lantern has always been one of my favorite Super Heroes because of the fact that any one can become a GL and it's not restricted to one ethnicity and when John Stewart came along I could finally present a case to my non Caucasian friends who always told me there were no black Super Heroes in the Comic book world and if you did find one it was always more a comical and idiotic spin on a character than the traditional "Save the Universe" roll of the White Super Heroes. This is why I hope that Warner Brothers do decide to go with the John Stewart Green Lantern character and cast Will Smith as GL cause it's time for minorities to have there Serious Save the Universe Super Heroes as well. I think that would make an awesome movie. For years as a huge comic book fan I have had one guilty feeling about the major Super Hero titles that have been created.

Green Lantern's story and origin are just to good not too. Green Lantern has the potential to be better than any Super Hero movie made to date including Batman!

(Like an exec saying “Find me a 24 year old David Boreanaz” kind of thing.)" Funny you should say that, since what the execs should be saying is "Find me a young Paul Newman" since that is who the original creators based Hal Jordan on. Carol Ferris was based on the young Liz Taylor. - http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b178/GuitchoYojimbo/Green%20Lantern/HalJordan-CarolFerris-NewmanTaylor.jpg “Maybe like the article suggests that those two are more of a “template” to work off of.

It has to be Hal Jordan. Yes, there are other Lanterns all with their own following (Jon Stewart, Guy Gardner, Kyle Rainer, Alan Scott, hell... even G'Nort.), but when i think og GL i think of Jordan. 2. I in NO WAY dislike David B., but i can honestly say that he had never even entered my mind to play the role. And, once i did hear it, i was VERY underwhelmed and kinda hope its not true. 3. While i hated the whole Justice League strategy (aka TEEN Titans) of going extremely young with actors, i think they are both too old for the roles. David would be 40+ when the shooting starts and Carla would be 38+. That's not to say that their age shoul dbe the only factor, but it is something to consider. (Hell, i would accept a 90 year old star if it made for a great film.) So while this news in no way devastates or offends me, i gotta think that this isnt gonna happen this way. Maybe like the article suggests that those two are more of a "template" to work off of. (Like an exec saying "Find me a 24 year old David Boreanaz" kind of thing.) Overall i just hope it gets made. My two faves being GL and Flash and they have both been absent. I have been a GL fan for over 20 years.

But does he really want his way to the big screen paved as a comic book character? Well, other actors have done well with those types of roles. I hope its a good script, and hope he gets the part.
