What? It's been a highly popular franchise for 60 years. What with these type of comments where people pretend popular things must be unpopular? They're more popular than several Marvel characters that have had hit movies.

You've clearly never read a Green Lantern comic, then.

Because it features some of the best cosmic storytelling in superhero comics.

And your opinion is blatantly wrong considering the Green Lantern comics are among DC's bestsellers, so clearly tons of people give a shit about them.

y'all keep coming here telling me about comic books... bruh, i don't care about comic books. the majority of people needed to watch this series for it to be a success don't care about comic books. it's a dying medium. young people don't care, and old people who grew up reading comic books are too old to still care.

So the only films and shows that should be made are ones that the public specifically asks for?

So we shouldn’t have breaking bad, The original Star Wars, iron man, the original Adam West Batman, Batman 89, etc.

lol bruh, don't take my comment so seriously. it's more me making fun of green lantern than trying to dictate what is made. there's a tv series about batman's butler for christ sake. lol. i don't really care what they make, i'll probably watch it if i have the time to anyways.

I agree with you but I’ve been proven wrong before. When ant-man was announced I was thinking they were jumping the shark and it would be soooooooo dumb. But nope it’s awesome. But DC looks for ways to fail. Having a guy with a magic ring and not provide a budget for magic ring to do things sounds eye-bleeding bad. Also, they will probably get some god awful actors like they did for the arrow show who have an emotional range of an old shoe saying dialog written by Mexican novela writer.
