1. Green Lantern
The Green Lantern we got was bad enough, but thank your lucky stars it wasn’t as terrible as the version which would have starred Jack Black in what sounds like a movie along the lines of the actor’s worst endeavours.
Written by Robert Smigel, this comic book adaptation took its cues from The Mask and would have been a straight up comedy which transformed fearless test pilot Hal Jordan into a furniture store employee and all round loser and slob called Jud Plato.
It was a wacky and downright stupid sounding endeavour which would have seen Black’s Green Lantern use his ring to create an elf for his friend to have sex with and a condom to trap criminals in. It’s hard to believe that Warner Bros. thought it would be a good idea to take this DC Comics property and transform it into a crude comedy, but for a while, they really did.
