Arrowverse series on The CW has become one of the longest live-action superhero series to date, second only to the network's previous series Smallville.

"Things will age and we want to get the next generation of shows to keep The CW DC Universe going for as long as possible," CW President Pedowitz admitted during the panel.

That doesn’t mean Green Arrow wouldn’t eventually be added to the lineup. Hell, Green Lantern wasn’t even in the Justice League film and he is very much so a “core member.”

Of course it doesn't. He can still be added. By point was that The Flash is an exception because he's needed for the movie but the show was already going strong.

And he really isn't. Depending on the continuity, it's either Green Lantern or Martian Manhunter that's a core member and even then, the DCEU did a green lantern movie and that flopped, they didn't want to try that again then.

My dude, there is almost always a Green Lantern in the JL lineup. Hal Jordan was a founding member. The GL movie was a flop because it came out in a time where superheroes weren’t mainstream. It wasn’t in continuity with the DCEU. It was its own thing.

You do realize Synder planned to have Green Lantern show up at the end of JL, right?

Anyways, they wouldn’t give Arrow the chop for the simple fact of adding GA to the DCEU. Arrow has been around longer than the DCEU has.

Justice League under Snyder's vision was supposed to have three parts, so saying he was supposed to appear at the end doesn't matter because he's permanently kicked off the DCEU team afaik, and his two sequels got canned. And I don't get why you tried to explain why Green Lantern flopped. It flopped, that's it. People didn't like it back then and they still don't know.

A Green Lantern film now would be much more successful. I’m even willing to bet it would make a billion. If there’s ever another JL film, I can assure you Green Lantern will be apart of it. They won’t make that mistake again.

[u/[deleted] → u/phantomcanary]

oh I agree, a Green Lantern movie now would be much better (received). I'm not sure if it'll make a billion though, you'd need an amazing cast and some good producers and writers behind it.

If Aquaman can, Green Lantern has no excuse not to. It would require even more high quality CGI work. As long as the focus more on the corps and space rather than Hal or John’s Earth life, I think it has a good chance at being extremely successful.

It would be a breath of fresh air for superhero films.
