I honestly think that DC needs to abandon existing storylines and go their own way with the films. Why not start Green Lantern with John Stewart, but keep refering to the 'loss of Hal Jordan'. Introduce Carol Ferris as an earthbound sidekick to Stewart, have a caper, end with the emergence of Star Sapphire as she goes to redeem Jordan. Who is off maiming planets as Parallax.
This gives a human face to Parallax in a second movie, which was a big failure in the first movie.
Carol and Hal get to be deeply flawed. Stewart is the hero, but trying to get out of the shadow of Jordan. Tonnes of depth to mine.
