John Stewart and Hal Jordan have both been cast for the HBO/MAX Lanterns series, filming should be underway soon. It has been described as a True Detective-type series, but I hope that the more fantastical, space-related elements of the Green Lantern mythos aren't pushed too much into the background. I also hope that Hal Jordan isn't killed off by the end of it, which I suspect may be the case given the age difference between the actors.

Good luck with this! How abut if DC/Marvel characters meet the characters of the 1970s Atlas/Seaboard? Like The Hulk/Brute, etc.
That's a group of characters I don't know much about. I never saw their comics on sale where I grew up and I was only vaguely aware of them.
Well, Speed obviously proved his innocence to the Black Racer, back @ STF #4177. But, one has to wonder if the crime he'd been framed for was to keep him out of this particular competition? And, if so, why? Just what are the stakes? Only by turning this apparent two-parter into a trilogy will we get any answers. :-)
As for GL on HBO? I wouldn't worry about Hal Jordan being killed off. If Marvel could violate their own protocols by restoring Bucky Barnes to life (in both the comics and the movies), would Warner Discovery be willing to do any less for Hal? I mean, even if your hunch proves right, the writers could always bring him back as the Spectre!
Atlas Comics was founded in the early 1970's by Martin Goodman (co-founder of Marvel when it was originally called Timely) as a sort of economic retaliation for the ousting of his son from the board of directors or whatever. Anyway, it attracted a lot of talented writers and artists (like Neal Adams and Steve Ditko) who were tired of their brain-children automatically becoming intellectual property of the Big Two (especially Marvel). Unfortunately, artistic differences and unpredictable distribution schedules caused it to go under before 1976.* Fear not, though: Martin Goodman's grandson has revived that cult-classic comics line with his "Atlas Unified" universe.
*Holy Image Comics, Batman!
I am not sure that I am looking forward to the new Green Lantern series. It seems like both the movies/television productions and the comic books themselves have the same problem. That problem in my opinion is the lack of continuity. Too many reboots, restarts, and rehashed ideas. I enjoy nostalgia as much as anyone, but destroying the basic fundamentals of long established characters has gotten out of control. I must sound like Don Swann but he was right.
Amen!!!
Ah, just cause CW's ARROW, Flash, & Supergirl (& the rest) were redone by Crisis and Superman wound up on an Earth of his own, don't think that Hal would be tweaked or modified ....after all, look at how long Spock lasted and was not changed ..once!!! (Maybe a hundred times, but definitely not once!!)
On the other hand, Speed Racer has never once been teamed up with Transformers. Would that such oversight could be modified! ;-)
At least the writers of DEADPOOL VS. WOLVERINE had enough respect for past continuity to show us movie-goers what had happened to Blade, Elektra, and--most importantly--Chris Evans as Johnny Storm. The battle between him and the Brotherhood Mutant Pyro was awesome! Fire, quite literally, fighting with fire. :-)
Not only has SR not teamed up with any Transformers, he also hasn't teamed up with other cartoon cars like Speed Buggy & Wheelie & The Chopper Bunch to name just 2. I'd personally like to see Spidey & the Spider-mobile race against him sometime & Metamorpho (who SR has run against twice!?!) team up with the Transformers with Element Girl as a ride along character.
So many foes have their own wheels/rides = Catwoman (beautifully done in the recent Caped Crusader series), Toyman, Joker, Captain Boomerang, Chronos, Riddler, Terra-Man, Roadmaster, Killer Moth, etc. so the possibilities are endless.
All good points (no automotive puns intended).
After this encounter, I think Speed Racer would make a good Green Lantern.
