@serrure: You also posted a rather sarcastic remark that didn't really add much, and gave out misleading information. And now you're reverting to ad hominem like it's relevant.
Hulk has tanked a blast from Galactus, as well as Magneto, Thing, and Silver Surfer himself. Unless he was actively trying to kill Bill, it's not a very impressive feat As Galan's history will tell us. John on the otherhand has blocked several blasts from Starbreaker, who has oneshotted Superman with the power of a supernova very casually.
I know this happened, but would you mind sharing the scans?
There’s been speculation among fans that the character John Diggle from the TV show Arrow is really John Stewart, aka the Green Lantern. Arrow showrunner Marc Guggenheim put an end to that speculation in a new interview with MTV:
“Basically, John Diggle is now a character in the comics… John Diggle is John Diggle. We’re not being coy and saying John Diggle is someone else, i.e. John Stewart. DC has other plans for that character.”
The “other plans” that Guggenheim is referring to is almost certainly Zack Snyder’s Justice League Part One, which will be released in November 2017. Based on his comments it sounds like Snyder will be using John Stewart, rather than Hal Jordan, as Green Lantern.
There’s still a lot of time before Warner Bros/DC Comics gets to its 2019 Green Lantern reboot movie, but in 2017 the Justice League movie will hit theaters and will supposedly feature the Green Lantern, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and other heroes.
There have been rumblings over which Green Lantern will be featured in the new DC movie universe; whether it’s going to be Hal Jordan or John Stewart. And some fans ofArrow have made parallels between the character John Diggle and Stewart.
Many rumors peg a big secret revealing that Diggle is actually Stewart in the DC television universe is in the works, especially after David Ramsey, the actor who plays Diggle, spoke about the possibility of Diggle being John Stewart, simply stating to comicbook.com“anything can happen.”
However, that’s not entirely true after Arrow Executive Producer, Marc Guggenheim spoke toMTV News about the show and debunking the rumors of Diggle’s “true” identity.
“I spoke to [writer] Geoff Johns at DC after that interview went viral. Basically, John Diggle is now a character in the comics… John Diggle is John Diggle. We’re not being coy and saying John Diggle is someone else, i.e. John Stewart. DC has other plans for that character.”
The last part of Guggenheim’s statement is key. He pretty much states that the larger DC Cinematic Universe will include John Stewart in its movies in some capacity. Whether that be as Green Lantern or a civilian, it’s still too early to know but there have been rumblings about John Stewart making his big screen debut over Hal Jordan after the flop Ryan Reynolds’ Green Lantern film was.
Tyrese Gibson has even hinted at a meeting with Warner Bros. about the role and has begun lobbying for the part. Again, the Justice League movie is a relatively long ways away from releasing in theaters but more news about the cinematic universe will come after Batman vs Superman debuts in 2016.
