So.

A GREEN LANTERN movie is being made.

With Jack Black.

As Kyle Rayner.

To be done "as a zany comedy is the style of THE MASK."

*sharp, slow intake of breath"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!

What. The FUCK. Strangely, the last time they tried to do a GL movie it was gonna be with Eddie Murphy. What the FUCK, MAN! Marvel is giving us some of the best superhero movies of all time, and what do we get from DC? Catwoman and now this shite!

A petition against this travesty has been set up here http://www.petitiononline.com/GLantern/petition.html for all the good it'll do.

God. What the FUCK is Warner Brothers doing?!

*resists urge to beat head against the wall* DC and WB are really pissing me off. You said it exactly right. Marvel gives us Spiderman and DC gives us "Catwoman". The whole thing sucks!

Umm...oh, God. Damn. What a terrible, terrible idea. Wow.

Go back a few years...

...when DC had the first two "Batman" movies and Marvel had planned direct-to-video releases for "Captain America" and "The Punisher" (the first attempt).

Marvel got wise and realized they needed quality people (directors, screenwriters, and actors who understand the material) to turn out good films instead of relying on the strength of the comic book (and its fans). Now DC has lost sight of this fact. And so the wheel turns...

Maybe the wheel will turn back in the future...

It's moments like this when i remember why i was once such a committed Marvel Zombie.

Atleast they haven't fucked up Green Arrow yet. Who am i kidding, They'll never make a green arrow movie, ever.
