Exactly. He is perfect for Deadpool, which is why he should never have done Green Lantern in the first place. If he wanted to dip his toe into the DC Universe it should have been for The Flash.

Obviously I haven’t seen GL yet, but the trailers are terrible.

I agree. In rare occasions when Reynolds rises above the snarky comedy routine he is even more brilliant, but his style of sarcasm and delivery are just perfect for this character.

How so? I personally can’t stand this guy except for in Van Wilder….but to say he is the wrong guy for the role is utter garbage. He is Deadpool exactly.

Why should they? It appears they have the agenda:

– lead actor

– a director

– a script

– a general idea on budget (modest)

– Few (if any) X-Men ties.
I say “few” because right now, X-Men is the name brand; Deadpool isn’t, Also “average” filmgoers might tend to think there is a XO Wolverine connection anyway. I expect some satire/commentary by Wilson’s 4th wall on the matter anyway.

So, in a nutshell–they know what they want to do and they know where to go. I think as long as the budget remains modest, it’s a go.

just a hunch.
