User blog comment:TheSonofNeptune/Green Lantern coming to Arrow/Flash Universe?/@comment-30384903-20150224053408

OMG I feel so stupid and I swear I have a point so bear with me. When I first clicked in and saw 'Marc Guggenheim'... I was like, this name is familiar, but surely it isn't the same guy... It turns out it is. This guy wrote the shortly-lived and then-bashed-a-lot-by-fans Young X-Men (a title I actually quite enjoyed) and Wolverine v3 #42-48 (Civil War tie-in; the arc is the only one besides 'Enemy of the State'/'Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.' I personally find enjoyable reading from volume 3.)

Obviously he wrote alota other stuff, but because he is one of the few writers with multiple stories I like, I memorized his name and followed him on twitter, and it was then I noticed some of the cast also fallow him; I was like, well, duh, he most likely also writes for DC. THIS IS WHY I FEEL DUMB. I had no idea he actually contributes to the show! So thanks for putting it in there, I guess? I probably wouldn't have clicked around to figure it out on my own. To know that it is a writer I've already taken a liking to being involved in the show is really comforting.

Anyways, sorry I was super excited to share my belated discovery. Back to the topic, I personally don't find the interview hinting anything. It just said 'there's a way to do it' but not like 'oh, some of us really want to do it and I'm sure we'll find a way'; it sounded like it could have been any character, and not specifically Green Lantern, just that said character was the one example he named. For me, it feels vague and it doesn't really tell us anything, but hopefully I'm wrong and this is actually him hinting they do want to bring the character into this universe.

Besides the poll, yeah, heck yeah I want to see Hal Jordan (yup, a very specific Green Lantern) in this universe. I don't read DC comics, and I don't watch DC cartoons, but I have sorta a bad habbit of liking adaptation sticking to source material. I'd look up fan reaction and I saw quite a few saying that Hal is most likely not an option, and that CW replaced the Flash's friendly pal from Green Lantern to Green Arrow. Some insist on saying Diggle would become CW's version of John Stewart... I'm just like... no, NO, please keep Diggle as Diggle, just Diggle.

So yeah, I'm kind of torn to be honest, if it's not Hal, I don't think I care whether or not a Green Lantern appears on the show.

(BTW, I'm kinda surprised no one commented so far.)
