Iron Man is the blueprint

Director Martin Campbell has said that his upcoming Green Lantern movie for Warners, will be more in the style of Iron Man than Christopher Nolan's excellent Batman reboot.


“It will be much more in the tone of Iron Man. It’s got to be. Certainly not Batman Begins, which is a pretty dark movie. No, he’s the Hal Jordan character who’s the sort of shoot from the hip, irresponsible kind of cocky test pilot if you will. In fact, the character seems to be the least likely to be chosen as Green Lantern. Well, of course that’s the fun of it. So no, it’ll be much more like Iron Man. So it’ll have one foot in reality if you see what I mean.”
