What If?
Most infamously, studio executives toyed with the idea of making the film a raunchy PG-13 action comedy, with School of Rock star Jack Black inhabiting the titular role, playing a newly created character named Jud Plato. The higher-ups at Warner Bros. tasked Saturday Night Live veteran Robert Smigel with penning the screenplay, with the comedian loosely basing his draft on the acclaimed comic book series Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn. However, following wildly negative fan backlash towards the mere idea of a comedic take on the character, Warner Bros. promptly pulled the plug on this incarnation, and those who've managed to get a hold of Smigel's script have had nothing but criticism for his approach to the material.
