Great points. Agreed with everything. If they decide to go for a bigger name for Hal, I say get Chris Pine. He was practically already Hal in Star Trek. Harrington is a great choice though.

I agree with most of your point!
They should base the reboot on Secret Origins, cut Atrocitus. Dont use the diary perspective. Emphasis on Sinestro and Hals relationship. Bastardize the Guardians from blue little men to something more aweinspiring and alien. Also add some real foundation between Hal and Carol; Secret Origins. Weta Digital! The constructs needs to be less absurd, more realistic like beams et al. But the plane construct when Hal saves Sinestro neeeeds to be there!
No William Hand. Make the event happen one year before MoS, so Hal would not be on earth while this happen. Music needs to be more classical like Star Wars, less guitar. Tomar-Re and Kilowog needs to look even more alien. The suits needs to be perfect. I firmly believe the white gloves can be included, make the energy light them up basically. Fight scene at the bar with John Stewart. Jessicas death needs to be there too.
They need also to make the iconic passing the torch of Abin Sur more based on source material. Its one of the most well known scenes in comicbook mythology for a reason.
The scene where Sinestro says:Hal miserably attempts to fight Sinestro, with Sinestro waving away his constructs, saying they are "laced with anger. And although the Guardians believe fear creates cracks in our willpower- anger will distort [our willpower]. Anger will make it unfocused. [And a] Green Lantern needs to be focused." needs to be there, as it hints to different spectrums. Also the scene where Hal flies without his ring and crashes into Sinestro; the "yoda" scene as I call it, it is awesome and must be in it. And make Hal leave earth, as mentioned before: This would make his relationship with Carol more distant when he returns as well so you have tension.
Perhaps a hint to a dark crusader in Gotham or a scarlett speedster in Central city?
And while I enjoyed Mark Strong, a reboot needs to be complete.

The general audience does not care for any Green Lantern apart from Hal Jordan

You don't know how wrong this statement is.

Sorry but you lost this. IGN did an article about Green Lantern in the DCCU and fans has spoken:



IGN has one of the bigger comic book/video game/geek sites online and they spoke. IGN's audience is larger than this site.

The audience for JL: TAS was between 8-12. Those kids are now 20-24. The paying audience in films nowadays is 18-24 which means most of the target audience is familiar and grew up with John Stewart.

8 million comic book total counting all the companies are sold a month nowadays in a world of 8 billion.

Fact is before the Green Lantern film, John had millions of fans while Hal had hundreds of thousands.

Also you still have no valid counterpoint, just gifs.

Thanks for this battle of the wits Khan

nice article Khan

and let's be real. Hal Jordan is the protagonist of DC's main GL title in the comics and he has been for years. It's just not realistic that they'd put a secondary character like John Stewart in a movie at this point.

Yea John over Hal is crazy. Almost like having Cyborg a JL member and not J'onn.

;P

Found this:



and also this should be the Green Lantern:



;P

"Let's giddy up and blow up a death star!"

lol.

@MAC: As always with this sort of thing, take them with a grain of salt. As far as Green Lantern goes, I would like to see more of the Corps but I don't want Hal with John with Kyle, so on and so on. You know where I'm getting at there. If they go with Hal, take a more Incredible Hulk approach but with the obvious differences. If they go with John Stewart, ignore Hal cause that wasn't part of this new shared universe. Forget he existed. You see where I'm trying to get at?

Everyone knows I am the biggest contender for a sequel to Green Lantern. I loved Reynolds. I loved Strong. Hell I actually didn't mind some of the Parralax battles.

However, as much as I hate to admit it, maybe a reboot is the way to go. I only say that, however, because I also want Reynolds as Deadpool before Fox scraps the whole project.

I actually am going to be posting an article I finished last week about 10 things Justice League needs, hope you check it out Kahn I think you would like it.

hal jordan,bring back mark strong,more like star wars & set 80% of movie in space.

should be a good reboot.

Trust me, I have a plan for John. Sinestro isn't the villain.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Nice article mate!

No to John Stewart but as a second Lantern ok!

@Levitikuz - whats happening man? Once again we agree. The fact is Hal jordan ain´t all that great a character. I´m sorry guys he isn´t Hans Solo. That magic can´t be caught again and to be honest I´m a bit fed up with full of themselves wise cracking asshole superheroes. jon provides a different direction that could focus on will more, him being a badass soldier. Besides who cares about reboot GL anyway. I say stick to the interesting characters, The Flash, Shazaam, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter. They have meaty stories you can do a lot with. And characters that are made up of more than silly one-liners. The Flash is just a billion times cooler and worthier of a movie than GL. As Lev said comic audiences respond to different things than GA. WB needs to stop using comic sales to justify making films. thats 8 million people out off 7.5 billion, invariably drooling over Geoff John hardon for some lame character he decided to give a few witty lines cause he knew comic nerds think thats oh so cool when they´re 14. Turns out it gets quite boring by the time we grow up and have seen it a billon times. The same tired tried and tested formula. Something new please Iron Man and Hans Solo already exist.

I like your points and agree with most of 'em except for replacing Ryan Reynolds. I understand everything that you said, but I don't know I kinda like Ryan Reynolds as Hal. He needs to redeem himself in the CBM and Comic Book community. Let's face it he has had a LOT of bad CBMs. Buti f they Cast Jensen Ackles as Hal, I'd be cool about it...
