Yeah, it showcases a lot of CGI. I almost thought it was a trailer to a forthcoming video game, when I saw the intro parts. We shouldn't be too hard on the director yet. Remember, Thor is going to have a lot a CGI as well...

Beyond Hal Jordan [played by Ryan Reynolds in the forthcoming GL 2011 movie] There are actually several characters in the DC Comics universe that hold the moniker of Green Lantern. There was the black guy named John Stewart, from the Justice League animated series. And there have been a few others like him in the comic storylines. Perhaps those characters can be included in a future movie sequel... we'll just have to wait and see.
