GL as a concept really has it all:
1. The "average nobody becomes great" concept--instant superhero, just add ring
2. Space opera, massive Star-Wars scale stories can be easily written
3. 1950s classic "space adventure hero" stuff
4. Lots of philosophical overcoming fear type stuff
5. The concept of the ring being powered by willpower and only a select few being able to use it (Green Arrow shot a single arrow out of it and it almost killed him)
6. Easily delves into the greater space mythology of DC if needed
7. Imagination-based superpower but not ridiculously OP
8. Multiple Green Lanterns of multiple ethnic backgrounds creates diversity and an in for the writer to come up with any kind of story they want
9. Works just as well as an Earth superhero as he does as a "space cop" (that's why I say the DCEU should have Jon as the Earth based hero and JL member and Hal in deep space fighting wars)
SMH a good GL movie could be GOAT status
