About Stewart... See, this depends on your age.
The main GL that I read during my childhood was Guy Gardner because of JLI; and then during my teenager days, Kyle Rayner. So I can't really connect with Jordan, seeing as when I started reading more about him, he had already become Parallax. Besides his old Superfriends appearances, he was a cypher for me. And I think that's true for a lot of people. Now, enter JLU. John Stewart is THE Green Lantern for a lot of people, seeing as he was the main GL for many years on tv. Sure, it was a PC thing (to have a diverse team, same reason Hawkgirl was on the show), but it doesn't change the fact that John is pretty well known now, and he has been the GL in the eyes of the media for a while.

This is very true about GL. Sadly, John Stewart's such a 'blah' character in comparison. Of all the Earth's GLs, he's GOT to be the least 'cool'. Guy would be great onscreen, and would make the perfect comic relief character! Kyle would be a great choice too, at least he's got an interesting personality with tons of story quirks to play up. Hal's been riding high since Rebirth, and has been great since his return to the DCU. Heck, he's been so popular that they've got him teamed with Batman in their own book! How cool is that?!
I get the feeling, though, that the big reason is the diversity issue, which is understandable, yet kind of sad too. I guess it's not John's fault that there's not really any other major minority DC hero they could use in his place.

If they do a GL movie they should base it Emerald Dawn and Emerald Dawn II with Hal played by Eric Bana and who better to play a cop gone bad than Micheal Chiklis as Sinestro also get Dennis Franz to voice Kilowog and have Jessica Biel as Carol Ferris
2. I think the plot could be better perhaps do it based on New World Order

I dont think Hal is really one of DC's top characters......sure he's popular now but how long will it last.Hal Jorden GL comics have been canceled more times then I can count on one hand and none have been as well liked as the Kyle Rayner series.Making John Stwerd GL on the JL toon might have been the result of wanting a Black guy on the show but Hal wasnt even considered by DC........they were pushing for Kyle......they even introduce Kyle in the Superman animated show.

Although, since Hal is going to be featured a lot in the next season of The Batman (I guess? I don't really watch it) if he proves successful, Mr. Jordan will have a better chance.

Aye, they've decided to mine The Brave and The Bold for The Batman animated series, and it's about damned time. There's some fantastic stories that have been done in the past with Batman and Hal Jordan ( check out the current issues of Brave and the Bold! ). It's an interesting dichotomy: on one hand you have the character who's chief weapon is fear, on the other you have the character who's dedicated to rising above fear. Not to mention that Hal's one of the few DC heroes to lay out Batman with a punch and not get the tar kicked out of him ( though, ol' Bats did get him back later ).
On the whole 'Hal Jordan is an unknown' thing, I totally call BS. Fact is, Hal Jordan has been the fan favorite GL since the old Alan Scott days, but has been mired with some really, really bad writers over the years. He's kind of like Superman, in that he's a hard character for a writer to keep interesting. You just can't throw stock bad guys and plots at him: with the ring, he can pretty much do anything ( and yellow's not a problem either ). Remember Superman Red and Blue? The writers either have to get crazy creative to keep the characters interesting, or their book sales dwindle.
I was a huge GL fanboy in the days when Death of Superman occurred, and the destruction of Coast City kicked off the chain of events that EVEN NOW is effecting the DCU. I remember when Hal went nuts and assaulted Oa, and the Guardians had to drag out Sinestro of all freakin' people to try to stop him. I remember the fans screaming for the heads of DC for turning their beloved GL evil, and replacing him with a really lame knockoff. Granted, Kyle's grown on us since then, but at the time....
The point is, DC should be capitalizing on the biggest, best story they've got going right now, and it ain't Countdown. The whole Sinestro Corps storyline is pretty much the best thing in comics right now, and it's flying under the radar of waaay too many readers because too few people pay attention to Green Lantern. It's unfortunate, because the story going in Sinestro Corps could have huge ramifications to the rest of DCU. Not to mention that they've finally managed to make the pink/purple yellow ring wearing sissy Sinestro not only cool, but pretty freakin' badass. Not many people can say they're able to boss around Cyborg Superman, Superboy Prime AND the freakin' Anti-Monitor.
So... yeah. More freakin' Hal Jordan. I say at the very least they make the next DC direct to DvD animated movie after New Frontier a GL story, preferably Emerald Twilight.
