And they axed the live action debut of Harley Quinn in the Arrowverse for it. From the sound of it they also torpedoed Harley's debut on Gotham too, because I seem to recall the producers of that show spent all this year going "wait till you see who we got to play Harley Quinn, you're going to love it, she'll be showing up by the end of the season" and then the season came and went and Harley was nowhere to be found.

I don't recall any of that about Gotham, they were kind of teasing that Barbara might become Harley as I recall.

There were people who only knew John Stewart as GL when the film came out and were puzzled by the film being about Hal Jordan.

For anyone over the age of 30 Hal was the Green Lantern you grew up with which means he's THE Green Lantern in the eyes of most in the decision makers. Then you have the thing where Kyle only really exists as a fallout of Hal, and even John and Guy kind of play off of Hal and the Corp as a whole, and bringing Hal back a decade later and Hal's probably been the most consistently present grand total. John probably did get established with people who watched the cartoon but that's probably a relatively small drop in the bucket, or at least they probably assume it is.

I don't know. I'm not a marketing exec. I just know as much as I probably rather see a John or even Kyle interpretation and would even probably get a kick out of Guy in the right Legends of Tomorrow type of setting its never surprised me in any way that Hal is the first choice and I would be surprised if he got passed over for another GL.

I'm 39 and Kyle Rayner debuted when I was 15.

I mean... that's what I said? I was 14 when he debuted. That means the guy I knew as Green Lantern when I started reading comics and the guy I had little toys of was Hal. Granted, maybe your teen years reading left a bigger impression on you than my childhood years, so "grew up with" was kind of an open ended phrase to go with. My bad. But the point is we both knew Hal as "Green Lantern" and remember Kyle coming along later.

Prior to Kyle the guy I knew as GL was GUY. Guy was in the JLA book, he was the main GL to me. I started reading GL on a monthly basis because of Kyle Rayner being cool and accessible, he's the gL I grew up with.

Yellow ring Guy was a great idea but barely a year later they decided to kill off the Corps to make the new GL special and thus, Guy's ring had to go. Amazingly his book ran two more years after that. They had a good direction for him with the GLC series, making him the Honor Guard Lantern with no assigned sector but they barely did anything with that and then N52 happened and they rewrote his entire history.

What a disappointing piece of poo poo movie, and I even dressed as the movie version of the Spirit for Halloween that year (before seeing the movie) as a low-effort costume. Everyone thought I was Zorro.

Team Arrow is so poor they had to slice up Roy's suit to make Thea's I guess? But yeah, Colton being visibly fatter is probably the reason.

The casting call for Superman on Supergirl really lit a fire under Welling's rear end. He hit the gym and it may not have gotten him that role but he pulled his rear end back together and it paid off with the role on Lucifer and now he's being invited to cons again. If he can keep himself from being a dick he might have a pretty good future in front of him.

I was going to say that Welling hadn't aged gracefully at all; but then I realised that Smallville started nearly 17 years ago - It makes me feel really old. I like him on Lucifer.

He's only 41. AFter his career hid the skids I heard he drank himself down pretty far. He looked like poo poo right when Arrow was starting up.

There was a Green Arrow project in pre production and Justin Hartley was attached at the time. He was pretty lovely over not being a part of the show for a couple years. But I'm sure being on This is Us has made him chill out.

Willa Holland is fun and actually made Thea likable after the 1st season, which was a triumph. Her character kinda just hit a brick wall.

And even she knew it which is probably why she wanted fewer episodes.
