In a more recent article, Johns says he can't say which GL will be joining the team, so that has likely changed--or else why would he go back on what he said?
The studio hasn't confirmed Jena Malone's role, but an extra on set has.
And Carrie Kelly was never Robin in the New52, only the Dark Knight Returns, so....?
Also, Aquaman isn't Polynesian in the New52, Flash doesn't have jet black hair, Batman isn't in his 40s, etc.
Also, the rumored Suicide Squad roster doesn't match up with the New 52 either...
Oh, and Shazam won't be a part of the DCCU--it has a universe unto itself.
Hal isn't guaranteed and you know it.
Many notable sites are rallying behind John, and numerous high profile actors have expressed interest in the role and support for the character--including Chadwick Boseman, Idris Elba, Dennis Haysbert, and Dwayne Johnson.
You can keep pretending Hal's selection is a fact, but the evidence contradicts that.
Again, its probably going to be Hal.
Plus, you do know that Ezra Miller can probably just dye his hair, right? But, even so, Barry Allen in the TV universe has brown hair. Plus, all of this is superficial characteristics. Do you think that Aquaman, even though he's Polynesian in appearance, won't be Arthur Curry? Or that Batman, cuz he's older, won't be Bruce Wayne? Uh...obviously not.
Furthermore, that ScreenRant article you cited literally says nothing about Shazam being in its own universe. Its still being produced by Warner Brothers. What it says is that he's not "a Justice League character," which is probably just them saying that he's not going to be a founding member. Well, that's fine. Neither is he in the New 52. It also just says that it'll have a different tone to it. Nice way to jump to conclusions with no evidence, but hey, I guess that's what you've been doing from the start.
Anyway, a bunch of other websites have also rallied behind the idea of Hal Jordan returning and have noted several actors, among them Chris Pine, Nathan Fillion, Bradley Cooper, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, etc. Also, Dwayne Johnson has already confirmed that he's playing Black Adam in Shazam, which is more likely than not in the same universe as the rest of these movies. So, he's definitely not gonna be John Stewart.
You can keep pretending like Hal's not a possibility, but the evidence supports his inclusion in the DCCU. Ignoring that evidence and jumping to conclusions based on minimal evidence is hurting your point more than helping it.
