So, Ryan Reynolds is Green Lantern?

Well, at least it's not Justin Timberlake (I swear, that name must've been released just so that whoever was chosen, fans could be content he wouldn't be bringing sexy back). Admittedly I'm not a Green Lantern fan, but Bradley Cooper struck me as better-suited to the character than Mr. Quip. Still, Martin Campbell can do no wrong in my book.

Still, Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan and not Wally West? It's like I've slipped into some bizarro parallel universe. What's next, will I find that in the A-Team, Hannibal Smith was played by Mr. T? That critics loved the Watchmen movie's portrayal of Ozymandias, but think Rorschach was hideously miscast? That fandom loathes a male character for coming in-between the perfect love and trust of a heterosexual couple?

(So now I'm dream-casting Michael Rosenbaum as the Flash. I know, I know, he's Lex Luthor, but let him grow his hair out and you'd never recognize him. Plus, he owned that role on JLU and THIS.)

I don't think Ryan Reynolds is going to be happy until he's played every comic book character ever. He's probably behind the all the bad press Christian Bale's been getting lately.

Maybe he could dye his hair to play Wally... I just really want to see a sequel where VanWilder!Flash has to deal with Impulse. Is that too much to ask?

For frak's sake, Ryan is totally Wally. If he's in GL at all, he's Kyle, if anyone. Hal was, what, in his thirties when he got the ring?

Also, wasn't there a John Singleton Luke Cage movie in the works?
