You can count on them to do something WELL KNOWN with a well known franchise. Green Lantern? If you know anything at all about him, then you know Sinestro and Legion. I have no doubt one or the other will be the villain over some complete unknowns like you are suggesting.

Sinestro is GL’s nemesis.

And the XMen villain is SINISTER. Not the same guy. Not even the same comic book universe.

Although the idea of Ryan Reynolds playing the Green Lantern still has to grow on me a bit more. Heck, I’m still having a bit of a problem with him as Deadpool even, I suppose it can work. He is a funny guy and so is Deadpool, he just doesn’t seem much else like Deadpool. I mean it could definitely be worse. However I don’t want him to come off as comical as the Green Lantern.

The 3 writers they got seems like they can all bring a wide spectrum of good story telling to the script. I just love how one of them wrote Heroes episodes and they all seem to have some good work under their belts. Not to mention the awesome director. Casino Royal is one of the best action movies EVER!

Can’t wait to see who they do confirm who the main villain is going to be.

Batman and Green Lantern have always been my fav DC heroes and besides Superman, my 3rd fav, that’s pretty much it. And they were all 3 awesome in the JLA cartoon series that came on a few years back. I loved the Teen Titans TV series as well. So far this movie is shaping up to be a good thing.

I don’t know if it’ll get up there with the new Batman movies, in terms of awesomeness, but it just might get pretty close, just in a different way?

On the flip side…

Let’s say the new character doesn’t buy the farm. The character would get some interest…and…bingo–! Guess who shows up in the comics? Yep, you guessed it. That character. Why? Because he’s now fair game. Heck, he (she?) could be even killed off AND resurrected in a comic or character related novel. Marvel has done it before in the past, why can’t DC?

As for the GL adversary, Sinestro or Legion? No matter. Either one will be just fine. Heck, Star Sapphire or The Controllers would even do. Just as long as it’s not like Supeyman and has to face off against evil mastermind Lex Luthor for the thousandth time.

Speaking of which, I wouldn’t mind a Supey nod at all. Supey does not have to show up, but there could be a small tip of the hat like Superman Returns did Batman. (a brief onscreen but unspoken mention of Gotham City)

Here’s how I might do it…it’s been said up and down it’s all rumor. Film comes out. Closing credits, Green Lantern flies over the earth. He gives a light frown as a small figure in blue tights and a red cape lightly waves to him some distance away.

I mean, the Corps will be in this movie right? So theyll have 5 green lanterns (or 4?) so heres my lineup (well, what i think would be cool…prolly wont happen)

Hal Jordan- Mark Whalberg
Kyle Rayner- Ryan Reynolds
Jon Stewart- Tyreese Gibson
Gardner whatshisface- Chris Pine
Kilwog like Rodney mentioned
And that guy thta looks like a Lizard

Does anyone know the Lizards name? I forgot..but there was a lizard…

Most people know nothing about Hal Jordan or his villains, they dont know who Sinestro is

I can assure you a very low percentage of people knew who the Iron Monger, Silver Surfer or Toad were before those movies came out…and im sure most dont care and forgot who Toad or Pyro are

Appart from people that read the comics

Im agreeing it was Blackest though, or Darkest, both are correct

Show me where your very direct and absolute “top 5″ ranking has any other qualities than “made up list in my own head”?

So what else was I supposed to compare it to? If its among the “top 5 books coming out of Marvel right now” would strongly suggest its at the top of their sales list.
