I do agree with you on the comedy with these super hero movies. They make them try to be everything. Serious, funny, stupid, smart, etc etc all in one. I guess to please all the movies viewers? I want a serious super hero movie with a serious main character with blood and guts. There's been enough kid safe movies made. I want to walk out of the theater saying, "THAT MOTHAFUCKIN MOVIE KICKED ASS" and not, "Another fucking Fantastic Kiddie Four movie."

If they are gonna do a story heavy on CGI, they could have used Kyle Rayner. Kyle was the replacement for Hal after the Emerald Twilight story arc, when Hal was "Possessed" by the creature Parrallax. Kyle was an artist, his suit was very similar to the movie suit and he was a bit more on the funny side. I would have rather seen Guy Gardner or even the rumor of Common playing John Stewart, that would have been pretty bad ass. Hal was a test pilot from the 60's and 70's era, brave, soft spoken and very smart. This movie makes him look like a doofus douche. They have the script, the storyboards and the look and feel that they should have used...the books. If they are gonna try to pull in a younger audience, then use the younger Lantern, dont shit on an icon, like they did in Batman and Robin and Fantastic Four. Green Lantern was very much focused on adults when it was released, with the relationship of Hal and Sinestro and Sinestro's fall from grace and then his turn to being a "Bad Guy". I think DC is trying to reel in a younger audience and in doing so, losing why the characters are beloved. I hope Nolan and Snyder turn the trend around with the new Superman and maybe Preacher will be good. If Superman is good...maybe Kingdom Come will be green lit.
