Also, anyone else think The Rock should play Darkseid?

If it were up to me, Rock would play everyone.

I wouldn't be wholly against The Rock as John Stewart but...

1. Hal Jordan should be in any kind of formative JLA, not John Stewart. John Stewart was only the GL in the JLA cartoon because they admitted to needing to fulfill the black quotient to satisfy making it PC... and they've already fulfilled the black quotient on this movie with the recent announcement about Cyborg.

2. While I don't love the movie, I don't see the need to throw Ryan Reynolds and that GL movie out with the bathwater in the Man of Steel/SvB/JLA movieverse. The "damage" was minimal. Let's see him try it again in the ensemble thing going on now.

3. The Rock already nixed the John Stewart rumors here.

The Rock as Darkseid? He could do it... but that'd be a little too distracting to me. They could do far worse, though.

Yeah, I had a feeling it's been disconfirmed. Just couldn't find a link, so thanks for that Andrew. I still think it's totally possible, but after what was said about the criteria of the character he's playing, I doubt it. The guy is already a behemoth of a man, so with the right makeup and CGI, I think he'd make a good Darkseid.

....there should be no black quotient....there can be 3 black characters on the team if they wanted. I mean theres no white quotient.

Cyborg and John can be on the same team.

I like John better to be honest...but only if Wally is the Flash ^_^(nah I'd accept Barry too) .....then again I think the JLA cartoon had the best team XDD They just seemed to work so well together.

Don't be naive... Hollywood isn't altruistic. The JLA is traditionally a white team (in the sense of skin tone... obviously, the only actual human on it is Batman). That Cyborg has already been cast leads me to believe that either Green Lantern will, in fact, be Hal Jordan in the movie or there will be no Green Lantern in the movie.

Otherwise Cyborg wouldn't be there at all.

Unless they're trying to use the New 52 roster as it is/has been for the last year or so, with no Green Lantern, and Cyborg is on the team. Hal hasn't been in the JL book for the last year plus, and Baz (also not white) is on JLA, not JL.

I'm not naive. I said there shouldn't have to be only one black person, I didn't say they were going to put more in.

either way DC thinking there only has to be one black person is crazy stupid especially when they can put more in. (or any POC for that matter)

Looks like a cross between 89 and a tumbler, god damn it Snyder, stop teasing us like this...

That's kind of exactly what I was hoping for. The functionality and practicality of the Tumbler with a lot of the aesthetics of the 89 Batmobile.

Looks awesome. IMO it looks like a Batmobile, unlike the Tumbler

[Turo602]

I'm loving the dick-like shape of the classic batmobile. LMFAO! XD

Now thats not a fair tease!

From the small look of it, defiantly has some tumbler inspiration but the make of the 89 batmobile. Which is all cool in my book.

People are all afraid of being secretly racist and feel they must make at least one character non-white in their movies, or else they'll all be accused of being racist.

That's why Johnny Storm is black in the new FF movie, for no reason. And oh yeah his sister's gonna be white. So try and figure that one out.

Though honestly I've always liked John Stewart's attitude more than Hal Jordan's. If I had a choice for which GL to be in the JLA movie, I'd go with John.

I think there could be black and white siblings. Although usually mixed race kids are at least darker skinned. If Sue Storm is still "bright white" it won't work.

Adoption, Half Brother/Sister with a different mom or dad. It's really not that hard for a black dude to have a white sister.

Hal Jordan doesn't really have a personality, but he needs to be the first GL.

Kyle Rayner would actually be my pick as most entertaining and good GL, though.

Yes, I know, but what are the odds that the two would both be smart enough to become astronauts? Intelligence is partly hereditary, and it's just sort of unlikely and really pushing your suspension of disbelief if they end up going with the traditional origin story where the brother-sister team go on the same space mission.

I guess they'll end up changing their origins, though - I imagine they'll want to radically change up their film, anyway.

Yeah, everyone knows blacks aren't smart enough to go to space.

They were both educated very well? Again. Not that crazy. Maybe Sue's birth parents were smart or whatever. Doesn't matter because the two of them could easily be raised in a very smart house. Bingo bango.

What are the chances of a space mission turning into superhero powers while we're at it?
