Three People I'd Rather See Play Green Lantern
Don't get me wrong.
I like Ryan Reynolds, in the vague, look how lovely the geek has managed to make his body kind of way.
But he's the last guy I'd pick to play Green Lantern. I think he'd make an excellent Flash, motor-mouthed, and well-bodied enough to pull off the lycra speedster suit.
So in hopes of jinxing the development, here are my suggestions for when the movie falls apart.
3. Eric Dane
Unlike some other actors (ahem Christian Bale stupidest Batman voice ever cough{Seriously dude swallow your spit}), Eric Dane has an amazing super-heroesque voice, wry enough to pull it off.

Drawbacks to casting: McSteamy doesn't have really the same appeal now that Grey's Anatomy's moment in the sun is all but over. Plus, Mr. Dane has let himself go a wee bit now that he's survived prostate cancer. I've seen hollywood trainers work wonders in the past, so that shouldn't be too much of a deterrent.
2. Henry Simmons (Even his name seems Green Lantern-esque to me
Pluses: He's got the voice, he's got the body, and Oh My Heaven is he ever pretty. I would swoon to see him play my favorite Green Lantern
Minuses: Oh My Heaven is he ever pretty, this was the only "rugged" picture I could find on the internet, and at well over six feet it Hollywood would be hard pressed to cast the rest of the Justice League so that they all didn't look like hobbits in comparison.
3. Roger Cross
Advantages: This John Stewart would be soooo black and sooo bad ass. I had just the opposite reaction to this guy, I had a hard time finding a pic online that shows how pretty this one can be. He's got a voice, and he's got acting chops.
He's who I was thinking of all along when I started this post.
