I'm kinda surprised to see them going for such an over the top character. I would think with the success of the Batman movies and the failure of Green Lantern they'd be sticking to more down to Earth characters. It seems weird to me that they'd be going for such a unknown (outside of the superhero fan community) character, when they have so many other well known characters like Flash, Wonder Woman, or Aquaman. I'm not saying it couldn't be good, it just wouldn't be my first choice for a new DC movie IP.
