It’s not about Hal specifically, it was Williamson taking questions about Infinite Frontier as a whole.

Williamson wrote Hal well in the GL/Flash team-up early in his run so I wouldn't mind Hal written by him again, but given his comments about not wanting to spoil stuff for his co-workers, that doesn't appear to be the case. I still have some hopes that King could write him in the future, especially since he tends to kind of tease some of his future work in his current books and Hal is the Lantern he's been using in his Strange Adventures run. In all likelihood the realistic chances of that are probably slim to none, but I really wouldn't mind it.

I think that after last issue of Future State GL it was given that something big is going to happen with GLs and Hal will play a role?
Yeah he's a huge hit or miss, but I think he can do well with this character. I doubt Hal would be the kind of guy King would try to "deconstruct" somehow, especially after a run like TGL. I'm really curious to see him writing Hal Jordan because I genuinely have no idea what to expect of him. He did great on the Darkseid War GL special but that was still a one shot. If he did a Hal maxi-series it would be a totally different ballgame.
I think no one wants to ruin the ending of Morrison/Sharp's The Green Lantern. Whatever it is they've cooked up, DC is showing a surprising degree of restraint in allowing their story to conclude before barreling onto the next creative team.
I'm more than happy to wait and see how The Green Lantern leaves Hal before finding out who's picking up the baton next.
I would love King to write Hal because he clearly has a knack for the character. Ofc it all depends on whether we're getting the King of Darkseid War or Heroes in Crisis. But didn't HiC also suffer from editorial mandates etc or am I misremembering? I wouldn't mind a psychological Hal story but it all depends on the execution (I mean you could argue Darkseid War also gave us a glimpse into Hal's psychological makeup). The problem with HiC is not that it has therapy for the heroes or whatever - that's an interesting premise. It's just that the execution is terrible and makes little sense.
This is a pretty good summation of all the various elements that contributed to the 2011 Green Lantern film's failure.
