I know this is really far off and just speculation, but I think it's a cool idea.
I'd hate for Hal Jordan to be shelved because some idiots forced Ryan Reynolds to make a crappy movie with a horrible script.
It would be cool if they could get him back and get Idris Elba for Stewart.
I'm not a fan of Guy Gardner for some reason.

Yeah, I think the Green Lantern movie with Ryan Reynolds is not considered to be canon for the DCCU. Not sure if Ryan would bother doing that anyway...he seems to be having more fun with the Deadpool character at the moment.

I don't think anyone held a gun to Reynolds head.
The movie was awful and was tangentially responsible for the death of young justice.
It's going to taint any green lantern movie coming to the big screen for a long time. It needs a reboot, not a sequel.

It was responsible for the death of young justice? Damn. And here I thought it was just a crappy movie. Now it's an abomination.
I work at a toy store, it's true, they're selling terribly, have all along, sadly.
Yeah, I'd like a little clarification on that. My understanding was a lot of what contributed to Young Justice getting the axe was low toy and other merch sales. Apparently the "cartoons as toy commercials" description was pretty apt as far as where Cartoon Network's expectations were for the show.It was responsible for the death of young justice? Damn.

The story as it was told to me:
DC (possibly more than marvel) links a lot of projects to toy sales. While low toy sales was bad for the series, don't get me wrong, there was a lot of hope that the green lantern movie profits- that apparently the entire company sees money from- would buffet the poor toy sales and there would be at least one more season. As we all know, the movie was awful, and despite attempts by people working on the show to distance themselves from the movie(toy sales were bad but they weren't as awful as the movie sales were) they all got flushed down the same toilet.
I'm not surprised.

I liked the Green Lantern movie, and I was entertained by it. I thought that the cast was fine as well as the acting. The story could have been better, but it wasn't so bad that the movie was horrible. I've never understood the criticism, and probably never will. I purchased the Blu-ray, and it sits in a place of honor with my other superhero films.

Well it doesn't help that the YJ toys sucked....
Not much posability, and looked poorly made. But hey they got rid of YJ and we got Teeny titans!
My GL is John Stewart, so I'd like to see him and/or Guy get a shot at the big screen. (Or David Ramsey get a ring on Arrow. :-)
yea?

Nay (sorry, Jordan or nothing. Diggle is his own thing.)

I love teen titans go. I enjoy the lampooning of earlier DC animated stuff, some of the jokes are really subtle.
That said, it has gone on about a season and a half too long now. Although I did enjoy the panels at Comic Con.
Loved the recent 4th wall episode.

That reads more as "failed to save it" than "killed it."
It certainly kill the GL CG cartoon which was actually pretty damn good. As I understand it stores got burned on the Movie GL toys that most of them refused to even stock the cartoon GL toys.
Cartoon that can't even get the toys into the store, Big ol' Axe
I think they should ignore everything that happened after Geoff Johns started writing.
does that include the other lantern corps?
I think they should ignore everything that happened after Geoff Johns started writing.does that include the other lantern corps?For me, yeah.
I haven't followed it closely, but it all seemed needlessly complicated. And a weird thing to pull out after something like 40 years of their just being Green lanterns.
I like the other corps, but they do need help in being fleshed out better. I really like the red lantern corps far more than I probably should, as well as the star sapphire corps. I enjoyed the religious take of the blue corps, too.
Johns needs strong handlers and good editing.

I liked the movie, but they made enough changed to annoy GL fans, not enough to make the Oans approachable, and Parallax was too much a force of nature instead of a real enemy.
I also hated that the Oans were the one that created the yellow ring for Sinestro.
As for the casting, I though it was great. Sinestro and Hal were spot on. It's the script that was awful.
It should have been Hal fining the ring and learning to be a hero on earth, and the entire GL corps should not have happened until a sequel.
I loved the GL cartoon series. It's one of the gems of the DCAU from my perspective.

I also liked the movie and was entertained by it, just hated the whole paralax thing. I was okay with the Hal being trained by the corps. It happened it the comics (pre-GJ). I think it was several years before they did that, but I didn't start reading until the late 1980's so I could be wrong. I am just remembering what was said in character in the comics.
(Which by the way keeps getting retroactively changed all the time.)
I have seen (much) worse than the GL movie. Having said that, it could have been better.

I agree with that assessment...they just crammed far far too much into the first movie.
Given that the DC rumors are for a movie with all 3 of the major lanterns....I am a bit nervous they are going to go ahead and repeat the same mistake again with whatever is the next movie

If so...
WOOOHOOOOO!!!

Favorite scene of the Green Lantern Animated Series.
Guy Gardner: Hal, you don't have the Earth GL job any more, you've been replaced.
Hal Jordan: By Who?
Guy Gardner: John Stewart.
Hal Jordan: The fake news guy?!

I chuckled when I heard it because it meant all the Lanterns, except Kyle, were made mention of.
Kyle gets no love. :(He still has the superpower to inspire levels of rage normally only seen among supporters of certain presidential candidates.
i...I feel so...red...
I remember Kyle came in right as I was NOT reading GL anymore back in the 90s right? I sort of missed that entire arc.
Shouldn't that be 4?
Hal Jordan
John Stewart
Guy Gardner
Kyle Rayner
May have been 4...I think the rumor was in the io9 morning spoilers from sometime this summer. Definitely remember John Stewart as one of them, and I think Hal Jordan.
Kyle gets no love. :(
You think he'd get more sympathy after what Major Force did to his girlfriend...
Isn't there another beyond those what many think though...pretty certain there is another...
Leia...NOOOO...
It's Guy Gardner! The resident bad boy GL!
Except...that Guy Gardner is an off again on again GL...and now is an RL (Red Lantern...right?)
So in that light, if they have three GL's, I would expect they'd included Kyle before Guy.

What's the record for number of rings worn? Because Guy's done Green, Yellow and now, apparently, Red.Isn't there another beyond those what many think though...pretty certain there is another...

Hal's ran the full spectrum, y'know, since he's GJ's pet.
