10 Terrific Scenes From Otherwise Terrible Comic Book Movies

6. Hal Jordan Travels To Oa (Green Lantern)

Green Lantern, more-so than Batman & Robin, probably takes the cake for being the worst comic book film ever made.

You see, Batman & Robin - for all its faults - at least had the revitalising quality of an in-prime Arnold Schwarzenegger. 2011's Green Lantern, on the other hand, has nothing. Ryan Reynolds was tremendously miscast in the role of Hal Jordan, the villain looked like it belonged in a Domestos advert and Oa, the hub of the entire Green Lantern mythos from the comics, featured for about five minutes.

Like, you have a vehicle for one of the most cosmic-looking aspects of the DC Universe, and what do you do? Set all of the film on Earth. Further to the film's tragedy is that it completely glosses over the one scene that would've made it worth watching - the one where Hal actually gets to visit the Lantern home world.

Geoffrey Rush, Michael Clarke Duncan and Mark Strong are all wasted because of the decision, and the DCEU (as it then sort-of existed) ceased to be. No wonder it's the butt of so many Deadpool jokes...
