I agree with ya Claude. I thought both NIcolson’s and Ledger’s Jokers were great in their own way, not one was better than the other. I mainly remember Nicolson’s Joker for killing people and the victims dying with a smile on thier face. etc. I dont know much about Guy Gardner Green Lantern. Mostly i just know Hal Jordan and John Stewart and little about Kyle Rayner.

chrisj, I for one didn’t think Heath topped Jack- rather he was inspired by him- it showed in Heath’s portrayal. As for the Green Lantern movie, i only hope it isnt consumed in CGI and loses out on good script. Personally, i find Guy Gardner a more interesting character than Hal Jordan ( who’s just another truth, justice and all that stuff kinda guy). Hope Guy has a major role in the movie.

I heard heard it would only be Clark Kent appearing in Green Lantern film as a cameo. Question i have is if its Brandon Routh’s Superman universe that the GL film will be tied with. It might aswell, i hate long waits.

@Phil…the studios DID roll the dice and came up with Watchmen. Look how that turned out.

Nathan Fillion is still my choice. I finally saw an episode of Castle and he was great. Kept saying to my GF that he would be perfect as the GL. She was like “WHO?” LOL.

I’d like to think Adam Baldwin would be a good choice as Hal Jordan since after hearing him voice Hal Jordan in a cameo on JLU. But no matter who they choose they will be forgottin. No-one thought anyone could top Jack Nicolson’s Joker but fans and critics said otherwise so it wouldnt surprise me if people forget Heath Ledger’s joker 10 or 20 years from now. Outta the names mentioned for the role though id say Bradley Cooper would be my first choice. i cant see Brian Austin Green but ive seen enough movies where this or that person or a unknown surprise ya.

I agree with the fact that Bradley Cooper would fit the role nicely. I’m a big GL fan from back in the day.

Wait for it…I’m sure that they will “leak” the news soon enough that the role of Green Lantern has been has been decided upon and cast.

I’m sure Seth Rogan will do an admirable job!

Eh? Wrong Movie? My bad…right color, wrong rumor.

Bradley Cooper is in next summer’s A-Team, so I don’t think it will be him. I’m gutted though, he is my first choice. Chris Pine would be god for Kyle Rayner but not Hal Jordan.

I wonder if Superman is still in the movie? That’s the part I’m looking forward to the most.

@jj
I think bradley has worked with green screen before or at least with a good amount of cg… Check out the midnight meat train… Its pretty cool.

I don’t know, I tend to judge people by their merit, not by a circumstance. I happened to think he did a good job in TDK, but if I thought he was bad in it, I would say it regardless of if he’s alive or dead. Hey, I’m giving my opinion on the performance, not the person right?

I mean, if I was an actor, and did an absolutely horrible job in a movie, then killed myself, should everyone praise me and give me an oscar or only speak nicely of my performance just because I’m dead? I don’t think so, I think people should be allowed to say exactly what they think without criticism.

Uh-oh….sounds like he’s bracing someone for an unorthodox choice….

Yeah, it seems hard and even disrespectful to criticize a dead actor on their last (or next-to-last) role, but this is the kind of world that people would still do it regardless.

I think Heath Ledger did such a great job of impressing everybody, though…

I always wonder, would people be so confident to use Heath Ledger as an example of perfect casting if he hadn’t died? I’m not challenging it, he was very good, but typically no matter how good an actor is, there will always be some critics that thought that it could have been better, it was just ok, or some might actually think that person did a bad job. So typically people aren’t so confident to use anyone in particular as an example to prove their point like they have been recently with Heath Ledger, like they know nobody would dare disagree with them or something. It’s kind of weird, and annoying, lol.

Damn it, why don’t they roll the dice for once and adapt that “epic piece of comic book cinema?” After all, that’s what we want! Heh.

Bradley Cooper? The guy from The Hangover? I thought that movie was awesome, too, but I’m not about to fantasy-cast its actors into superhero movies. Has Cooper ever worked with green screen before? Action scenes requiring a stunt double? I suppose there was a little of that in The Hangover, but not much. Still, I’d rather someone with relevant experience get cast.

David Boreanez I think would be a great Hal Jordon..
