Don’t make fun of me.

1 – for writing about this again.

2 – for this not sinking in sooner.

3 – for how embarrassed I am to have to retract that letter I sent to Warner Bros. and send a new one that says ‘Bradley Cooper was ROBBED.’

Why does Ryan Reynolds get to be TWO SUPERHEROES????  Deadpool AND Green Lantern?!

I am Ryan Reynolds.

I am also Ryan Reynolds.

Are Fox and Marvel like, so mad?  Shouldn’t they own him, or shouldn’t he have to sign something that states ‘I AM Deadpool.  Only Deadpool.’

And isn’t that risky for Warner Bros and DC?

Won’t people be like, didn’t I just see this guy in that other movie?

Don’t you think that took away from Christian Bale as John Connor (besides the fact that he was a lifeless bore) since he is far too identifiable as  Batman?

Is Ryan just being GREEDY????

I guess I have a lot of questions.

Start spreading the news. According to pretty much every film industry publication that exists, Ryan Reynolds has been cast as the Green Lantern. We’re totally okay with that.

So – like Angela – I have no idea what this Green Lantern is all about. To save some face, I turned to Wikipedia since everything you read on the internet is true. But holy shit – there’s like a million versions of Green Lantern! What’s a girl to do? From the looks of it, I think this guy, Hal Jordan, is the main man. Correct me if I’m wrong comic geek readership.

In any case, so long as Ryan can pull off saying this ‘oath’ that apparently charges his super-power ring…

In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil’s might,
Beware my power… Green Lantern’s light!

…without looking and sounding like a complete tool, we’re all in!
