I don't want to sound racist, but isn't Green Lantern Afro-Superhero-ican?

I have better facial hair than Harry Knowles, FWIW.

[RockyBalboa]

In some he is and in some he's not.

[Babs]

I'm so there. Sorry, Bruce.

Interesting. Wasn't the Star Trek guy signed on for Green Lantern? I wonder what happened there...

[Commando]

No, you're thinking Thor.

You are thinking of the Brown Hornet!

Bump, hoping to get input from our newest member. I would assume you know more than most of us here. Welcome.

White dude Green Lantern is Hal Jordan, test pilot. Black dude Green Lantern is John Stewart, architect and former sharpshooter. He took over for Jordan when Jordan was incapacitated for time. Now they both serve as active Green Lanterns.

Here's the thing--I think Ryan Reynolds is a great choice to play the cocky, likeable Hal Jordan, so I'm looking forward to the film on that basis. But at the same time, I've read those comic books since I was a kid and if this movie is terrible, I'll be crushed. Hopefully they take the same tack as IRON MAN and just concentrate on good casting and a strong script first. Worry about the special effects after.

And before it's asked: yes, I can recite the Green Lantern Oath if necessary.

how do you feel about Ryan Reynolds potentially occupying two spots in the Marvel universe?

Nice, thanks. I grew to like GL watching Justice League with my boys in the last couple of years. My oldest likes Green Arrow, weak.

Green Lantern is actually published by DC. But I know that there's a possibility of him spinning his Deadpool character from WOLVERINE into a movie. I don't really see a lot of promise in that one.

[Commando]

oh my bad... I was thinking GL was part of the Avengers for some reason. Guess he's League of Justice.
