Would have been cool if WB made a Top Gun movie starring Hal/Highball without any mention of Green Lantern.
And only in the sequel does Abin Sur appear.

Always happy to see Hal so prominently showcased in the DC intro.

Considering how omnipresent Cyborg is within the DCU, it makes sense. He literally appears more often than even Superman in outside media these days thanks to his prominent roles in Teen Titans Go, Justice League, & Doom Patrol. Meanwhile, it appears Green Lantern and Aquaman have swapped roles within the popular culture. For decades, Aquaman was the butt of jokes. Unfortunately, no it seems to be GL's turn.
Hopefully, that'll change soon. Morrison & Sharp's book is a big part of that. Morrison tends to reach a far wider and more diverse audience than the typical superhero fare.
I wouldn't go that far. With Aquaman it was a thing for decades, with GL it's Reynolds' dumb shenanigans and the Lego Movie. Granted DC isn't doing GL any favors when they allow filmmakers or cartoon showrunners to portray the character that way, but I really don't think it's Aquaman-level bad. There have been tons of bad comic book movies over the years and noone sees, let's say, the Fantastic Four as a laughing stock because of that.
