    Eh... yeah. Maybe in this day and age it really is best to be careful what you wish for.

    Wait, when did Tom King work on him?

      Omega Men, and then one single panel in Heroes in Crisis, in which Kyle's whole dialogue was "Madre de dios!"

          John Diggle's step father is a general who has the surname Stewart. Paired with the line from 90's Flash in Elseworlds, this indicates that Dig is the Arrowverse John Stewart, which is why it is likely that David Ramsey (the actor) will be a GL in the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, even if just as another Earth's version of him.

          Moving forward from that with a GL series based on said character from whatever Earth isn't far fetched, but as has been pointed out already, may be financially difficult given the limitations of a CW budget. Not impossible, of course, just difficult. Were it to happen, I'd fear a commonality of laser blasts to befall the ring's usage to make it all cheaper, as that wouldn't cost anymore than the constant use of CG arrows in Arrow. That being said, they could also use practical props for constructs and simply tint them green in post, so it may not be entirely impractical.

          I would support it, but them I'm that fangirl who supports all of the CW DC superhero shows, so that's not necessarily saying much.
          Do good. Be well. Make happy.

            Every episode of Flash is CGI-heavy. The use of a GL ring would be no different than Barry (and other speedsters) constantly using the speed force.

              Just the idea of seeing that on TV.....

                A GL on tv is totally possible - remember how totally simple John's constructs were (when he made them) in animation? They're energy light constructs - they can look like anything, really. The expensive thing would be GL affecting real world things, but when you think about how "Supergirl" cheats things or has her less powerful than she is in the comics, you can imagine how they'd get away with it for a GL show. I personally wouldn't look forward to a less-then stellar GL show, but if it were written really well, I could get over tv-looking SFX.

                  I really wouldn't want this. I don't particularly like TV (don't even have cable in my rooms) and have even less interest in anything CW, but would feel compelled to watch if it were a real GL show (no matter which lantern).

                      It'll probably have nothing to do with the HBO series, although I get the impression that it probably isn't being made anyway, since it would be a redundant show now.

                        Shame because i would think hbo would be a better fit for them. if not gl maybe do a small 8 episode series of the phantom stranger. I dont mean to get off topic but i feel dc has a great opportunity to really go through there catalogue and bring out some fresh new character's as you can see someone like myself who isnt well versed in everything in comic books like you guys i like the weird odd characters with of course the batman wonder woman super man. I researched the phantom stranger and find him really facinating. Again for me i like a good story i think his can do well

                          HBO would totally fit GL more, especially when it came to the budget. I don't trust CW to handle the powers at all.

                              They've really doubled down on that stuff. The first few seasons of Arrow and Flash it wasn't anywhere near this bad.

                                Sadly its not just cw its everywhere now. Thats why i ditched cable 3 years ago and just pirate old shows from 60's till 90's. If i want politics id turn on c span i dont need it in comics film music or tv. This is why i miss the 90's nothing was this pc back than
