Why I Want Ryan Reynolds In The JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE


Say what you will about Ryan Reynolds’s GREEN LANTERN movie (The CGI was abysmal, Hal Jordan was a pussy, What the fawk was up with the giant green race-car?) but if push comes to shove and Warner Bros finally produces a live action JUSTICE LEAGUE movie, he’s the guy I want with the emerald ring.

Why? It’s simple, really. Ever other member of the JL is a moody prick. Wonder Woman’s a privileged princess, Superman’s a whiny Sun God, and Batman… well, do I even have to explain Batman?

Reynolds’s take on Hal Jordan would provide the much needed comic relief that the Justice League desperately need. And many apologies to our brilliant Flash fans out there (especially our very own scribe Justin who recently wrote this brilliant piece on the Scarlet Speedster), but Wally/Barry’s version of humor is CORNY! Although, if the powers that be decide to adapt the more serious “I’m totally worried about destroying the universe with my powers” iteration of the character, then he’d certainly be another Debbie Downer to add to our list of moody Justice League members.

All praise aside, when asked about the prospect of the JL movie, Ryan Reynolds was a bit clueless. Hopeful, but absolutely clueless.

Here’s what he said:

“I don’t even know if the the studio’s going to make that…but it would certainly be a challenge. If they do, I hope it’s great. We saw how well Joss Whedon did it with The Avengers, so we’ll see.”

So far Ryan Reynolds is 0-4 in the comic book movie world, failing to inspire audiences or critics with starring roles in Blade Trinity, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Green Lantern, and most recently R.I.P.D. (although I’m definitely seeing that last one to get my Men in Black fix… they’re basically the same thing).
