I'm not sure why Green Lantern gets such a bad wrap. It was a good movie, and Ryan Reynolds did very well as the character. What made it "flop" was the money spent making it 3d. Prior to the last few years, movies did fine without it (Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight). Had they not spent so much time making it attempt to compete with 3D masterpieces such as Avatar and Sanctum, it would have been more of a success.

Plus one key factor no one ever includes in The Dark Knight success was the untimely death of Heath Ledger. Had Heath not died, that movie would not have sold as much as it did.

You think Reynolds really wants to do another Green Lantern? He's probably going to do all he can to try to distance himself from it if he's allowed to. He may have had a bad 2011, but he's off to a good start in 2012. Why would he want to take another chance with DC, especially when they continue to show craptacular judgment like giving one of the people most responsible for the mess that was GL the opportunity to write Wonder Woman.

No need to reboot or recast just use the John Stewart Green Lantern and then no worries plain and simple.

Harry Potter made $2.39b in North America, it made $7.7b worldwide, it's a nitpick maybe, but that's a massive difference.

Whedon accomplished for Marvel???…somebody given Whedon way too much credit for the Avengers success…this is a long orchestrated play by Marvel for years…not one person deserves credit for what Marvel has done

In my opinion in order to "nail it" the studios and the writers just need to take a leaf out of Nolans book and stay loyal to the source material, use the comics to create a brilliant story, stay away from original stories, and take key story arcs from a few comics to create a great story. Example, The dark knight = the long halloween, batman begins = year one, The dark knight rises = The dark knight returns / No mans land. All brilliant comics in themselves.

Studios really have no idea and every word said further proves it. Green Lantern is not just a B character but a fairly unpopular one and his powers and story are hard to put in a film the same realm as the marvel ones. For the most part the difference is real simpe – marvel used good characters that had good stories in every single movie they did. Batman is a good character but for the most part DC comics characters that could have a movie focus aren't up to marvels standards and particularly the ones thy are choosing. It's insane. WB think they an just pick out any character and just make a movie. It's dumb. An as if they isn't get it the first time they think that just doing a new lantern movie and starting over will be ok – NOT THAT MANY PROPLE CARE FOR GREEN LANTERN!!!
