G'nort - Yes. Hal Jordan - No. Actually I changed my mind.
G’nort – Yes. Hal Jordan – No.

I love Jack Black, but if he wants to do a movie like that, just make it an original character...

But reinvent any of the main GLs as a "bumbling idiot"? That's a big NO-NO. Or he could do the his comedy first and raise interest in the property.

I don't have much of a problem with the idea as long as we get a serious GL movie done first without him as the lead character and Jack doesn't use any of the serious GL names or their stories. He could do G'Nort or, even better, a completely new GL he could play as a "bumbling idiot" to his heart's content. I like Jack but he’s an idiot if he doesn’t see why we’re upset.

I love Black's films and his overall personality, but at some point, enough's enough. Hands off GL. ““Too many people were mad at the idea of me being the Green Lantern. … You know how it goes with comic-book people.”
