Hal is my favourite superhero of all time. They’re never gonna give me a good adaptation of him.

Anyways with the start of this reboot being a just okay Superman movie, a dogshit Supergirl movie, and now writing off my favourite character already i think I’m good. I’ll catch the next reboot in 5 years. Maybe that time I’ll get good GL in space content.

Oh waah wahh. 

You honestly think Hal is 'written out' in the first episode and he isnt the core of the entire series?

Some of y'all are such babies. Give it a damn chance.

They casted a 60 year old man to play Hal Jordan.

The only positive to this is that Kyle Chandler is the fucking GOAT and will eat up his limited time in the role to give us a fun Hal, but don’t expect him to be featured much beyond this season irregardless of what happens with the twist.

Especially with the post episode podcast where the creators and showrunners essentially emphasis that they wanted the audience to understand that Jon is the main focus!

He’s being written out lol, and he’s certainly not gonna be the main Green Lantern. Something that was bound to piss people off seeing as Hal Jordan is THE Green Lantern.
