Bah. I'll believe it when it goes into production. We keep hearing so many things about comic book movies, and so little of it actually comes to pass.

Hmm. That theory doesn't hold water as the number one movie right now is a big budget action flick about a comic book character. you may have heard of it , its called Spiderman 2
Look if a movie is good, and promoted well, it will succeed. If its bad it will fail. I cannot see Jack Black as GL. He would make a great comedic super hero, but dont ruin a icon like GL. JB could be a sidekick like Arthur in the Tick maybe. He just doesnt have the serious super hero look.

Oh, and Guy Gardner didn't ruin the GL image already?RaceBannon42 said:
Damn, I wish VB didn't bring him up. I was trying to forget him.
Spider-man 2 had a buget of 200+ million, add another 50 for ads, a very good director, good script and Spider-Man, yes it made a lot of money but White Chicks, Dodgeball, Anchorman have been hits making money, CoR, King Arthur, Day After, are off the charts and lost money. I think if I was going to gamble I would like the odds on the comedy side, small investment greater return.RaceBannon42 said:Hmm.

I'm blaming Ron Marz!
So, they're trying to do a DC version of The Mask?

Guy Gardner played a pivotal part in what can arguably be considered the best Green Lantern story of all time: The assault on the Qwardian Moon, where a ringless Hal Jordan is saved by his friend, Tomar-Re, and eventually returns to the corps. Once a Green Lantern, always a Green Lantern.Viking Bastard said:
And also, Guy was the first GL to have a unique costume, something that became commonplace since.
