CW Looking to Add New Arrowverse Series in 2020

Superman or Batman Beyond.
A Green Lantern series would be awesome as well but that be too expensive.
 
Not really interested in seeing a GL teamed with the local PD solving the murder of the week.

That's not even remotely close to what I proposed.I

What I proposed is giving your central Green Lantern a new problem to deal with week-to-week while building in a larger meta-arc.

It's "storytelling 101" and doesn't need a massive budget to pull off and make compelling .

And where would these problems happen?
 
They hinted that Hal maybe already a GL on Earth-1. Would be fun to see what’s he up to. All they need to do is adapt Johns’ run and they’ve got a winner.
 
If we did get a Green Lantern show I guarantee you it won't live up to expectations of the fans. It will either be too down to earth or not as epic as people hope.

Green Lantern will be stuck in Coast City while his former flame Carol Ferris investigates the weird happenings occurring in the city

Hal Jordan will be injured in the premiere and he won't have full use of his powers till season 2(Budget saver)

Different aliens descend on the town(Maybe tie in something with Supergirl being involved)

Green Lantern does a few constructs like a Hammer or giant bat.
 
They could always do Volume 3 of Green Lantern with Kyle Rayner. That was set mainly on Earth.
 
^Who said anything about Hal Jordan? I'm just following this train of thought because last season established that Diggle is John Stewart's doppelganger and I think it'd be cool to see that realized. And the Arrowverse has made a habit of giving us things that we never thought were possible on TV. Is it likely? Of course not, not while they're developing a GL Corps movie. But it's fun to imagine.
 
I don't really see where the different planets and aliens would be that much of a problem, Star Trek managed to do hundreds of different planets and aliens on a TV budget.
I doubt it would happen, but they could always go the puppetry/prosthetic route and use Jim Henson's Creature Shop. They managed to do some absolutely incredible aliens on a fairly regular basis on Farscape, and I could see that kind of aesthetic working pretty well for a GL series.
 
There’s no point if it isn’t Hal. I don’t want one of his minions.
What about a Wonder Woman themed show? They haven’t touched her yet.

You seem to disregard the rumors that another big screen GL film may be on its way. If that happens (and all a film budget will provide for a fully-realized GL adaptation), its highly unlikely there would be a pared down GL on TV.

I think that would require shooting in England.

And the Arrowverse team has pulled off some effective CG aliens, like Dominators and White Martians.

The still-in-development GLC movie is irrelevant when it comes to the possibility of a Green Lantern television series.
 
I'm thinking Mr Miracle, and Big Barda, so I'm looking up very-very tall actresses with the google.

Chyna is dead, who did play She-Hulk in the Avengers Porn parody, but right near the top of the list I found, for tallest yank actresses is Kaitlin Jenner at 6'2".

Is she still cool?

The big-girl list also mentions Kristen Johnston, who all but practically played Big Barda on 3rd Rock from the Sun 25 years ago meshing suburban domesticity with talk of blood curdling mega death, perfectly.

You're kidding yourself if you think the movie side is not going to mine all that the GL concept has to offer to be the first "cosmic" chapter of the DCEU, while somehow, the TV side would develop some very un-GL-like series where's he's largely earthbound. As noted yesterday, that worked as a targeted type of story (e.g. GL and GA's early 70s "discovery" of America plots through the lens of Adams and O'Neil), but it was purposely short-lived, and even in the middle of that, GL (and GA) had adventures on Oa. As noted by others, no one is too interested in what would be an upending of what GL represents to (among other things) steer clear of GL's natural action/environment for a production company which cannot handle that.
