1) EVERYBODY Is Forgetting About That Horrible Green Lantern Movie
In 2011, Warner Bros. released Green Lantern, a superhero movie with a cast of known names, including Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Angela Bassett and Tim Robbins. It told the story of test pilot Hal Jordan and how he becomes the first human member of the Green Lantern Corps.
The film was made on a $200 million budget and barely made back its costs with a disappointing $220 million gross at the box office. It was universally panned by critics for a poor script, overuse of special effects and deviations from the comic book canon for the character. As was expected, Warner Bros. cancelled plans for a sequel and are instead using Man of Steel as the true start of their extended universe.
So, it looks like everyone has wiped Reynolds’ Green Lantern film from their mind, thus giving the actor another chance to get things right.
