A new Green Lantern movie.

Just kidding Puffy. I really enjoy your movie threads. I get more info from you than I do IMDB.

Yeah. I'm hoping that if the League movie is a hit, we'll eventually see -all- of DC's top tier heroes on the big screen.

On a slight tangent, I just started reading Rucka's Wonder Woman run and I can't understand how a WW picture hasn't manifested yet.

And Whedon was wrong about her not having any good villains.

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

Diana doesn't lack good villains so much as she lacks villains one can sum up briefly.

The Joker: Evil clown. Lex Luthor: Evil genius. Circe: An ancient Greek sorceress who one might vaguely remember from reading The Odyssey back in school. [Smile]

And don't even get me started on Egg Fu...

I'm hoping new WW series writer Gail Simone brings back the Queen of Fables. She'd make an excellent recurring villain.

Seriously? A GL movie? I've been wanting this movie since I was 6.

It's hard for me to think about Green Lantern without remembering Garth Ennis' take on him in Hitman.

(<reading GL's mind> "What does that ring of yours do? That... That... That... Jeez, is there anything that ring doesn't do?! Yes... It doesn't make you any smarter.")

I highly doubt it'll be Kyle in the movie. With Dooley gone, DC dropped the whole "No More Corps, not even Alan Scott can use the name!" thing as quickly as possible.

Tell me this isn't the one that they were going to do with Jack Black.

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

Jack Black was approached about the possibility of doing many films with WB, among them Green Lantern...but online rumors jumped the gun in considering that project greenlit. No pun.

I don't think I'd envision Black as the Green Lantern. Mebbe as the Blue Beetle. [Smile]
