It was obvious but I can't believe we're seriously going to get Hal Jordan (and John Stewart) as the movie lantern. Every character listed there is a better choice.
Jessica Cruz is a DC breakout hero waiting to happen if they give her the right push.

Thats a weird choice for the main characters. I would have at least expected them to go with John as the main character, with the rest of those as his supporting cast. Not even Kyle lol? I bet they do the thing where Hal, John, and Kyle have all gone missing and they are spending the whole season trying to track them down. Just seems like a weird choice to not go with at least one of the main 3 that even non comic readers might recognize.
And what is the showrunner known for? Looks like he is the genius behind Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

Kyles construct would increase the CGI budget too much.Life as a Kyle Rayner fan.
Guy is a good mentor figure for Simon and Jessica. The off-kilter salt-of-the-earth dude showing the rookies the ropes.
Bet he dies sometime in the first five episodes.
All the good lanterns, save Kyle. I like it.
Sadly, this means the eventual movie will definitely have Hal and John boring us all to tears.
Let's hope she's a breakout character for this show.

Agreed. The only thing stopping Jessica from being a big female hero is that she's a Green Lantern, and thus is never going to be pushed ahead of Hal or John.
Let's hope she's a breakout character for this show.

Do they even have the budget for that? How much is HBO likely to drop on something like this?
GL's biggest problem is Marvel movies existed at that point, and people were starting to expect a little more.
Funny that Hal and John are alike in that the most interesting thing either of them ever did was cause massive amounts of death (Parallax and Xanshi), only for everyone to bascially treat it like "whoopsie" later.
John always managed to marry out of his league, boy might be color struck

Life as a Kyle Rayner fan.
Indeed.
But try being a Kyle Rayner fan who loves Conner Hawke, Wally West, Dick Grayson and Donna Troy as well....
(To be honest: Kyle has the problem that he was created for the spotlight and as a leading man built on the history of the franchise. Therefore his chance for a media spotlight was gone the moment Hal returned- Evem before he was no easy sell - I stil lament that we did not get Morrison's mangnficent seven for the Justice League cartoon, especially since I love "architect"-John and find "marine"-John insufferable)
Oh, I'm with you. Seems like all of us DC fans who enjoyed their run from the mid-90s to the mid-00s have been completely left behind by their push into TV and cinema.
Ha yeah, when you compare to marvel movies, it was just another DC fail for the time.
That dude has an incredible agent. ALVH was fine pulpy nonsense, but this is an impressive career move.
Can you blame him? He got blamed for Green Lantern's issues that happened after his version, and Green Arrow and the Canaries is like his only failed pilot. The word Green attracts failure.
Sounds like he was attached to The Flash movie for awhile. He probably made some connections while there and had a great pitch for this show.
Also sounds like they are specifically trying to build the show around the new GLs, rather than relying on the big 3. I mean, I get it. I like Alan Scott and Jessica Cruz a lot. Just would have liked to see John or Kyle have some sort of role. Hopefully im right, and they are searching for at least one of them and find them for Season 2.
Pitch Cruz and Baz a little bit to me please, I know a bit about them and I'm glad the shows using them.
GL as a DC property has never been my fave but it's still amazing nonetheless.
The sector Earth is in would seem to be especially crime-ridden as opposed to say, Kilowogg's, so off-world stuff would need to feature prominently.
