Either way movie looks cool, so i'll check it out. I'm also glad that WB is continuing the mural on the spines.

The best thing to ever happen to the Character of John Stewart was the Justice League Cartoon. He fit in perfectly with the dynamics of that show and the show itself came at a time where Hal Jordan had a) Not been a Green Lantern for almost a decade and b) Was acting as the Spectre and so it didn't make a lot of sense to include him it. Guy Gardner hadn't been a GL for a number of years as well at that point if I remember correctly and so that left Kyle and John to take on the role. Kyle's personality would have been too similar to the Flashes in that series and so having Stewart in there was perfect.
I don't mind John Stewart as a GL for movies like this, but he will always need a plentiful cast of associates to make the film fun/interesting.
Hal/Kyle/Guy can carry a movie on their own without other mainstays of the DCU being included, John by himself cannot as what makes him most interesting as a character is his introspection and military background as opposed to the other GL's personalities, something that doesn't translate to the screen as easily...
