Common is not John Stewart

YAH!!!!!!

ROGER R. CROSS ALL THE WAY!!!

Yay!

I would love an Alan Scott movie. I hope that they will do a series of GL movies each focusing on a different Lantern, Hal, Guy, John, Kyle, and end the series with Parallax.

I like John he has had one of the most interesting histories of the Lanterns.

They need to have Hal in Justice League first, because he was in the original line up. The only reason they talk about putting John in is because he was in the TV series. That is not a good reason.

I think you go with Hal because he seems to be the most popular and known (fans of old and new = more viewers = more money). But, if the movies go over, you work John in later. I wish they would look to future movieS and not just the typical 3 movie deal. I like John too. I could see Hal is his own movie and John in the JL as someone said.

Thank you westsideDarkKnight.

Kudos to you westsideDarkKnight... many many kudos..

Common is a [frick]ing great actor, this sucks. Shyhook, im not racist, i voted obama all the way, but i think that you are the definition of a [racial slur], regaurdless of the color of your skin. You are an igonorant arogant ass.

Talontd-your funny. By the way, I put up those Kent Farm pics for you.

Exactly! Parallax! Only after a serial of story-arching films of adventures with Hal should we have Stewart pick up the mantle (and the pieces for that matter) of Jordan's "change". I certainly wouldn't introduce him until maybe the second JLA movie and maybe the third or fourth GL movie. He has a role, but like Doomsday and Superman, he should be reserved for a/the grand climax. You know, after all the smaller adventures with Hal...
Dessert only after the main course. Stewart was designed to fill the gap left by Hal/Parallax. Thats just the bottom line. There isn't any room for arguement here. My opinion is right, the dissenters are wrong.

Ok, onto dream-casting for Stewart! How about Michael Jai White?

GL Movie: Common as GL he just doesnt strike me as the hero type. To me making him GL would be as bad as making Nick Cage Superman.I dont think John Stewart is a bad\not great GL and I think if written right he could support or carry his own in a movie. Actually Hal&John have a few similaries, one they both have a military background ,John destroyed a planet and Hal destroyed Coast City,these two events changed the kind of GL that they would become.Hal-Parrallax and John-this second guessing I dont want to lead anymore B-teamer.As for who should be in the JLA movie if SUPERMAN,BATMAN,WONDER WOMAN,AND FLASH ARE IN IT THEN YOU HAVE TO USE HAL JORDAN.The only way to introduce another GL from space sector 2814 would be in the 2nd or 3rd movie.

Airwolf: let me add to what Phinehals has already stated Denzel is a well rounded actor Malcolm X,A Preachers Wife,Mo Better Blues,John Q and the list goes on. Denzel is too old now for any superhero role unless he's playing the retired father. For Steward if that ever happens lets try Tryess,Micheal Jai White,or me LOL. Anyway again like with alot of these comicbook characters there's got to be people looking for a break that would love these roles.People who can actually act and look the part we dont always need big name stars to bring these characters to life.

No im sticking with what I feel would be best for a GL movie, since I am keeping up with the Green lantern corps, and current new series. John is old. Denzel is old. They go well together. Terrance Howard is a good choice too.

@ Blade
I disagree....Denzel is not well rounded...hes one dimensional...lets see him star ina comedy, or a horror, or evil villian master mind? He only chooses roles that fit him, just like keanu reeves...hes no where near marlon brando, johnny depp, or al pacino... he plays the same [frick]ing roles over and over. And its over-kill now...he stars in any other roels beside the ones he already done over and over...i will never see him as WELL ROUNDED. lol He and keanu are in the same ball park :) Nothing agaisnt denzel, just sick of seeing the same shit over and over.

Micheal Jai White is like 42 how is that young? lmfao.
Tyrese Sucks....he should stick with modeling....
2F2f: "You seeee....WE hungaryyyy?" ...you know when actor built images like that...thats the only thing they are going to get, their not taken serious....
....and for "you"...if you want the part....go to california and try to be member of SAG.

My friends say their pretty damn picky on who they accept :) good luck

@westsideDarkKnight, u say any black person that thinks DC isnt raceist is ingnorant, wow, i didnt know u can speak for all of us!! Look, DC main hero's shined in the 50's, before civil rights, back when being black in america wasnt easy, and a hero in our image didnt matter since we were lesser people, it wasnt until the 70's that black heros started to really surface, and the only black hero's for DC that had an actual importance in DC was black bolt and john stewart, as time rolled on they gave wonderwoman a black twin sister by the name of nubia, but decided to get rid of of her, also vixen was suposed to have her own comic in the 80's but it was canceled. The only black character DC had that really shined was static shock, he was created by black artists who felt that black superheros were greatly unrepresented in comics.
what i am saying is in this particular situation im not gonna call it racist because it makes sense to start off with hal and not john, however, that dosnt change that over 90% of DC's characters are made in a white image. and also U wanna talk about DC literature?? thank marvel for that.

@ dellamorte. Rebirth was good, alot better than Sinestro War. Personally I liked Emerald Twilight, or Final Night the best.

@zinext
wow...people are really hung up on race!
So do we blame DC for playing to the larger white audience in America in order to stay in business. Look Americans as a whole are prejudice. And most white audiences do not relate to black characters (unless it's will smith lol) and most black people feel its not black enough unless it's done 100% by black people so they don't support it. (color purple perfect example, during the making of that movie, being directed by Spielberg. Many black people said that Spielberg can't get it right because he's not black and demanded a black director and nearly derailed the movie. Everyone shares blame not just dc.

the original point of my post was to say it made sense to dump John Stewart as GL in a JLA movie, if they are currently in active casting for a GL movie w/Hal Jordan.

I'm sure Common being let go had notheing to do with race. let's talk about what impact this news might have on a GL movie or a future JLA movie.

They should take the IronMan approach.

Have John just be the Buddy, then by the 2nd film, have him become a Green Lantern!

I mean, if you're so worried about trying to get the Black Green Lantern in the movie (for whatever reasons ;) ...do it like Iron Man!

If not...I won't cry about it.

DC isn't exactly known for black superheros anyway... Just make the movie good and people will watch... Black or Not... ;)

So don't worry about it... SupahPhreak!
;D
