He could play Kyle Rayner
Too old for Kyle Rayner.
Funny thing is, Rayner was based on Keanu Reaves. Reaves isn't showing his age that badly, but still...

This movie has such potential. I hope they don't blow it.
I imagine a good version of this tv ad will show up online in the next couple of days. For now:

I still wish they would have dropped the face mask part completely - although at least they address it somewhat in the footage.
I just fund those kinds of masks ridiculous disguises in general - Plus there is something definite 'off' about the look of the CG mask.

It's hard to think of a superhero disguise that's not silly and transparent when you see it IRL - that includes the various incarnations of Batman. I just don't buy people who know these folks not recognizing them immediately.
I suppose the Billy Batson/Captain Marvel situation would be the exception.
I thought they should have dropped Hal's mask when they brought him back to serve alongside John Stewart - Stewart had set the precedent at that point.

Was hoping this to be a much better movie, and the hope succeeded! Glad to see the epic feel of it. Gonna blow most Marvel movies outta the game. :thumbsup:
Now, just to be a little cautious - most of what we see in this trailer that's really, really cool takes place in outer space and on Oa (although Parallax attacking Coast City is good too).
According to the producer, about 25 to 30 percent of the film takes place in outer space or on Oa. Which leaves...about two thirds of the movie focusing on Earth, Blake Lively and Hector "I look like I belong in Altered States" Hammond.
Does anything we see in this footage make the stuff from the first trailer involving Earth - Hal and Carol, Hal and Tom, etc - look any better, or did we see any additional character stuff on Earth that looked better? Not really.
So, there's the potential problem.
Of course, only about 25 percent of the original 1978 Superman is particularly great stuff either. Different times, though...

This is true. As neat as the new trailer looks, I can't get too excited for this because we've seen how dorky the Earth stuff is. So unless they do some serious reworking of the scenes from the prior trailer, I'm tempering my interest.
And, to run around to the other side of the net - what we actually saw of the characters in the first trailer was minimal - a line here, a line here. Lively seemed (somewhat contrarily) kind of flat in delivering her two lines - but I've heard nothing about her in general that suggests she's anything other than a competent actor and specifically in this movie has "chemistry" with Reynolds.
So is it a bad trailer because the marketers making it couldn't come up with any better footage out of the rough cut - which is what the ever-negative Internet crowd is always prone to assume - or simply because they made a bad trailer based on dumb choices about the tone they wanted it to project (and, of course, the paucity of effects footage available)?
We'll find out later, of course. As far as I'm concerned, though, Reynolds really nails his part in the new scenes - including reciting that oath, which is a ridiculous challenge - so for now that militates against the assumption that the stuff that some people found cringe-worthy in the first ad ("I know!") really represents the performances throughout the film very accurately.
I just watched the new footage, and I take back everything bad I said before, this actually look pretty good. I don't know much about GL yet, so far all I've seen is First Flight and the first issue of Rebirth, so I don't know a ton about GL. But from that perspective, this looks like a really cool movie, and it makes me much more interested in checking out more GL stuff.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if any Lanterns other than Tomar-Re, Kilogwog, Abin Sur, and Sinestro play a role in the movie?

That looks a lot better than the shitty initial trailer.
