are Green Lantern fans really ready for Common?

based on his appearances in Wanted, American Gangster, Smokin' Aces and the upcoming sci-fi sequel Terminator:Salvation, some bloggers are calling for rapper-actor Common to be tapped to star in the upcoming Green Lantern movie.
is Common really ready to carry a big-budget film? that's some Will Smith isht...
regardless, i would be very surprised if the Green Lantern fan-base let that fly. these cats lobbied harder than Big Tobacco to get (the definitive and very white Green Lantern) Hal Jordan raised from the dead, so i doubt that they will look the other way for Jon Stewart to hold down the first ever GL feature. we'll see...

  1. Jon Stewart is my favorite Green Lantern. Hal Jordan? Boring.

    I'd like to see Common in the role. He was awesome in Smoking Aces.

    what i'm not sure about is how the Fanboy Nation would receive that. hopefully they are SMART like us!
