Unlike many, he can act, and I appreciate his sense of humor. *shrug* Whatever.
'Dick In a Box' and 'Motherlover' are classics.

Justin Timberlake, Ryan Reynolds, & Bradley Cooper are the frontrunners for Green Lantern & must be decided quick. The article are asking the fans for your choice.

Warner Bros. is about to decide who will wear the super-powered ring in "Green Lantern," the studio's latest DC Comics tentpole movie.
Along with director Martin Campbell and producers Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti, Warners has spent the past five months searching for the actor to play Hal Jordan, the hot-shot Air Force pilot who is chosen by a dying alien to be his successor in an intergalactic police force known as the Green Lanterns.
This week, the race narrowed to Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Timberlake. The clock is ticking on the decision as the holding deal the studio had on the actors expired Monday, meaning the three are now free to accept other offers.
The studio ordered up two rounds of screen tests with Cooper, Reynolds and Timberlake. Other actors in the early mix included Michael Fassbender, Henry Cavill and Jared Leto.
Apparently, De Line, Campbell and the studio each had a different favorite among the three finalists, making it difficult to come to a consensus.
Another issue impacting the casting process is the rising budget. "Lantern" is a full-blown space epic that is expected to cost between $150 million and $200 million, if not more. Warners would like to have the production costs at a reasonable level before proceeding.
The studio has scheduled the movie for a December 2010 opening.
Cooper, repped by CAA and Thruline, is feeling a lot of love from Warners as he stars in the studio's surprise comedy hit, "The Hangover," which has grossed $210 million domestically.
UTA-repped Reynolds recently starred in a comic book movie, Fox's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," where he played "the merc with a mouth" Deadpool. The character is now being developed for a spinoff to which Reynolds is attached. The actor is also in theaters with Disney's romantic comedy "The Proposal."
Timberlake, repped by CAA and Rick Yorn, has been steadily building an acting resume, appearing in such dramas as "Alpha Dog" and "Black Snake Moan" while also showcasing his comedy chops with appearances on "Saturday Night Live."

**** it, I'm voting for Cooper. He needs to breakout, and this could be the role he needs. Atleast for now he's winning on the poll. **** Timberlake or Reynolds.

I don't want Ryan Reynolds to be both Deadpool and GL.... Brad Cooper would be the best pick of the three, but still not the best they could get for GL.

Ha all those three are just one big rumor, them being front runners that is. Right now those are just screen tests nothing more. Just trying out their options. Reynold's kinda suites the jockish Hal they have for this movie but only kinda. His style is more witty sarcasm and not acting like a brash jerk whose heart is in the right place. Timberlake must have done something amazing for Campbell or WB to get their attention for a role like this. That or they are really desperate for star power on this project.
These guys are in the running thats for sure but I don't really think they're Campbell's frontrunners, well maybe Cooper since he's been said to be the front runner for a while now. They have about as much chance as getting the part as say Chris Pine or Shawn Roberts (both have been said to be in the running in the past), Cooper just slightly more.
My ideal casting would be David Boreanaz, Jamie Bamber, Nathan Fillion, or Jensen Ackles for Hal.

The studio is clearly messed up here.
They had the perfect Hal Jordan in their grasp and they didnt put him in the top three; Michael Fassbender.
Fassbender can look spot-on like this IMO with darker hair. He has the right type of face and a mature look too; while being young enough for the role. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1055413/
He can play the various aspects of Hal's character;
A romantic lead;
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik5P5gjTXhM[/ame]
As the irresponsible party boy in "Fish Tank": [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a-ql8Z-9-Y[/ame]
As psychologically disturbed in "Hunger"(Parallax): [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2ONJaKiHw8[/ame]
IMO he looks more like the comicbook Hal than Roberts, Worthington, Pine, Cooper, Gosling etc
He was likely on WB's radar thanks to 300 and Jonah Hex; and has experience as an action star.
And he can do the American accent ("Band of Brothers").
PS: I think the inclusion of Justin and Ryan in the press is just a studio ploy to make their 'meh' pick of Bradley Cooper seem better in comparison.

Michael Fassbender.

He looks to be a great choice. But whoever is cast, and for the movie's sake, we all know Thor is gonna be far superior to this.
