Er....Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern?

h/t to Oliver Willis.

Um. Didn't I not that long ago say something along the lines of not minding the mighty Marvel machine finding another Deadpool role for Reynolds, only with more talking? Why not bridge the gap and be a hero in both Marvel & DC fandoms?

Hal Jordan Green Lantern is cooler--to me. It's a meatier role, I think. But that's just me.

And I just really like the idea of Ryan Reynolds in tights.

Wait. Did I blog that out loud?

(Actually, I would have wanted David Boreanaz, who voiced Hal Jordan in the animated "New Frontier" feature, to have been considered. He might have filled the bill a little closer--but oh well. Hollywood never ever does ask me who to cast for things.)

So Ryan Reynolds in tights it is.

I'll find a way to like it.
