Out of anybody? I don't know, but when they narrowed it down to the three choices, I would've gone with Bradley Cooper. There was a rumor that Chris Pine (New Kirk) was going to play Hal. That would've been a good fit too.
Well, I was one of the ones who loved Final Crisis. So, I'd recommend that over everything. Revelations and Rogue's Revenge were good, but ultimately skippable. And I really didn't care for Legion of 3 Worlds.
Nah, I'm not a big fan of that cover art.But, do yourself a favor, and pick up the Secret Six trades. Villains United was the first. Then there was a Secret Six one which was the second. Or, the first of the new series is Secret Six: Unhinged. Should be out soon.
Well, I don't know if there'll be a Red Lantern Corps after Blackest Night. So, anyone from Earth joining is just a pipe dream. On a side note, Bane isn't really rage. Have you been reading Secret Six? You should.
