Spiderman sucked and they bumped that pretty quick, what's the deal with Green Lantern?

There's Marvel, and then There's DC. Maybe they believe green lantern matters to anybody?

Who said they were not? This version exists in a different universe than the one from 2011. They are not going to do an origin story (at least for Hal Jordan) because we already know that.

He's not on the roster with Robotguy, Captain Americess, Grumpy, and Mr.Fast.
What gives?

They areit's called the Green Lantern Corps.
To be fair Spiderman is an easier concept to pitch than space police with powers coming from a ring which depends on the individual's will power, while simple it can quickly garner an eye roll.

Still a reboot, now while the film will be in 2020 (if it happens of course) doesn't mean he/they can't get rebooted within another film. They rebooted Spiderman in CW, they softly rebooted Hulk in avengers, if they wanted to they could reboot GL in JL, will it work? maybe, mabye not.

I'd like it if they did that.
Even if the movie sucks. The DC universe could benefit from some HJ.

It's going to be Hal and John.

I'd like to put forth my prediction now: Green Latrine Crap is gonna suck pig nuts.
You're welcome.

Good question. I guess because they spent so much money on the 2011 film and it did so poorly (worse reviews than SS or BVS) at the end, they didn't want to revisit it?
Whatever you are, be a good one.

It lost money and was panned by critics and rejected by fans and audiences.

I'd have accepted a reboot a few years later. Like what Marvel did with Incredible Hulk. Rewrite the plot in the opening credits.
Whatever you are, be a good one.

Please never reference the incredible hulk.
yeah I suppose, but again personally GL's origin is a more fantastical concept than the hulk's, so I'm not certain if it can get summerized in a montage sequence. However I wonder if they'll just say f- it, and throw audiences in without any background, origin, power exposition.

Nah, they'll use trading card stats like in Suicide Squad.
Whatever you are, be a good one.

On a similar note, you know what's odd? Creed did the same thing during the first act or so, not bad, but out of place and a bit jarring.
