May 6 2009This Guy Might Be Green Lantern
Might Hangover star Bradley Cooper, seen here with a monkey, play Hal Jordan, keeper of the Green Lantern jewelry and portable light source? So says HitFix:
Bradley Cooper is now one of the guys most likely to don the suit and slip on the power ring as The Green Lantern for director Martin Campbell.Let's be clear: they have not hired him yet. But the process is far enough along that this is more than just a meeting or some spot on a wish list.
Well, not my first choice for a Wet Hot American Summer cast member to play a DC superhero (I would first cast Paul Rudd as Blue Beetle and the talent show kid as Dr. Fate), but it works. I'll take that.

You are hilarious. A Dr Fate and Wet Hot American reference in one sentence, brilliant.

just sayin.

Chris Pine better choice, the journo from Alias, bad choice. That is all.

I agree with #3. Pure Gardner.

Dogless, please don't start a 'Chris Pine-was-in-Star Trek-so-he-should-be-in-everything' craze
wasn't GL a black guy in the Justice Leauge cartoons?

There are many green lanterns.
@6 You're thinking of GL John Stewart (not from the Daily Show).

I think anyone who posts that mybrute shit should be Guy Gardner. They're pretty douchey.

As much as I'd love Paul Rudd and Nathan Fillian to play every male lead in every movie in Hollywood, I can live with this. When Pieface inevitably is transformed into a monkey, we know this is a Green Lantern who has the acting chops to work alongside a chimp, just like Clint Eastwood. Gold Star WB, Gold Star.

Which one in the photo is Bradley Cooper?

No it should be Christian Bale! Christian Bale should be in everything comic book related because he is classy and Welsh. Christian Bale was in Batman and proves he has the best acting "chops". I would want to see Green Lantern played by Christian Bale. Christian Bale is serious but also has a sexy body. Wolverine would have been good if they would have cast Christian Bale as wolverine, and also as deadpool. They need to remake the Godfather movies starring Christian Bale, or at least use CGI to insert Christian Bale into every scene.
Christian Bale.

Hey Elmo! Chris Pine was mentioned as a possible GL in a previous story on this very site. It's even listed under "Related Stories". You might want to read the post before you go calling out other posters, a**hat.
And "wasn't GL a black guy in the Justice Leauge (sic) cartoons?" Really? Wow.

Green Lantern = SuperHare
Green Lantern is the poor man's Superman
Green Lantern better not be played by a black man, it will set race relations back 20 years.
"Please Mr. Green Lantern don't shine your green light on me!! I have a fungus and it will glow under that light!! Everyone will know!! I'll never skip school again!!"

Okay, how about this. Jon Stewart (from the Daily Show) IN BLACK FACE playing John Stewart.

Josh Lucas from Stealth much better choice.
