Van Jensen's run on GLC was good. That was a good book I enjoyed reading. And speaking Van Jensen, he said this recently on twitter:

It's really sad that DC won't hire him again and write a John Stewart book. He would be at the top of the list for me if someone was hired to write a John Stewart solo book. You can tell that he's very fond of the John Stewart character and really invest heavily into the character, unlike most DC writers who wrote John in the past. So it's not surprising that John Stewart is his favorite DC Comics character.
As I said earlier, I'm hoping that those guys leave. I'm tired of them and they seem to be an issue when it comes to black existing characters. I have literally zero respect for Geoff Johns and Dan Didio.
Very true. I feel I lost a lot of money looking for a great John Stewart reading experience. I did not complete the Van Jensen run, due to the constant crossovers. But he was clearly the last good writer for John Stewart (and look how long ago that was).
I'm gonna skip on the Moasaic run due to the writer.
Understandable on all accounts.
A John fan can skip all the Kyle era and Geoff Johns era and not miss anything, and it's probably better that they do, because the portrayal of the character is really bad. Back to back that's like 20 years worth of comics o__O
Goes to show how unimportant John Stewart really is in the grand scheme of Green Lantern.
I like Jensen's stuff and had a lot of fun with it as it was coming out, but I find I have little interest in revisiting it lately, because of all the crossovers and knowing now that it really doesn't go anywhere special. I actually try to read Lost Army sometimes, but I give up because, again, I know it literally won't finish and the story is kind of boring. Too much aimless wandering around without any well defined antagonist.

Current rumor is that JJ Abrams will be rebooting both Superman and Green Lantern, and that these films, along with Suicide Squad, will be set in the same universe as Matt Reeves's The Batman. Earliest we would hear about any of this actually being true would be SDCC. If he had to pick between the two, I imagine he'd go with Superman, as it's a bigger brand and different from his previous film work. Still, imagining a GL hanging out with Pattinson Batman had me thinking of who'd be a good fit for the role. Someone whose name could help get the film financed and enhance its probability of success. The most obvious answer seems to be Michael B. Jordan-- International name recognition, an interest in geek properties, and about the same age and height as Pattinson.
Helps that Killmonger is dead (unless he shows up in the ancestral plane in BP2). My top choice would still be Trevante Rhodes but I’d be ok with MBJ. Plus they can still keep Gadot’s WW since Patty Jenkins said that WW84 is gonna be sort of a stand alone adventure. It’s should be really easy to have her alongside the new Superman and Batman.

I'm past all the rumors at this point. They're not even worth considering and speculating on for me. I'm basically looking at Green Lantern as nothing is being done with it until I see actual official casting. Even announcements from WB don't mean anything is actually being done with it. Movie was supposed to come out in 2020. Yeah, right. And I remember when people thought 2020 was way too long a wait. Now, it's nearly here.
