Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice confirms what everyone already thought. There will be a Justice League Movie and shared cinematic universe. With that in mind, DC is most likely going to introduce Green Lantern and Flash. This could be difficult though, because The Flash is getting his own television series and Ryan Reynold’s Green Lantern film is still fresh in people’s mind in a bad way. I think a way DC could navigate through this obstacle is by introducing a different Green Lantern and a different Flash: John Stewart and Wally West. I understand that there are other Green Lanterns and Flashes to choose from, but I think these two might be DC’s best option to bring their iconic characters to the big screen. Bart Allen is The Flash in the upcoming series, and I think some casual movie fans might be confused as to why there are two of the same characters living separate lives. Especially considering a show like Agents of SHEILD is able to stay in the same continuity as its film counterparts. With Green Lantern, I think John Stewart is the second most popular GL to Hal Jordan(I’ve had many friends ask me why GL isn’t black in Mortal Kombat vs DC and Injustice) due to his presence in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, so he could be a viable option while differentiating this iteration with Ryan Reynold’s. Some have argued that John Stewart is a boring character, but I think if the screenwriters characterize him similarly to the way Bruce Timm and Dwayne McDuffie did in the animated series, he’d be great. My casting recommendation for the two characters would be Chiwetel Ejiofor and Chris Pine.
