The Rock in talks for a DC Character (Green Lantern or Lobo?) Denzel = Stewart?

Last edited Thu Jan 9, 2014, 05:53 PM - Edit history (1)

Seems they might consider adding him to the roster of the Superman vs. Batman movie.

I feel like the studio is forcing it to take up so much that it would be a clusterf of a movie.

I hope not.

He seems like a pretty cool guy, with his humor and talent, but seriously, they have got to put a cap on this movie they are trying to make.

I feel like they are making it so bloated that it is a set up for disaster.

Also, as for the Green Lantern, I kinda liked the prior movie and lay the problem directly at the script. They should not have used Parallax immediately, and amorphous blobs as villains don't work.

This is me, mostly reacting to the thought that they want to put Green Lantern in there.

I want to say, enough...
Adding Batman and Wonder Woman is more than enough.

to rival the Avengers hype. I don't know that they can do it.

Rock as Green Lantern doesn't do it for me.

He could be something else, but still, they really should simplify on this movie, otherwise it would just get bloated.
