We knew Shane Black was the perfect choice for Green Lantern Corps the moment DC Entertainment described the fundamental structure of the upcoming superhero adventure: “Lethal Weapon in space.”
It would be easy to suggest that Shane Black is the perfect choice to helm Green Lantern Corps simply because he wrote the original Lethal Weapon (and that spec script has since gone on to become legendary in the film industry), but his qualifications run much deeper than that.
From Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang to The Nice Guys to even Iron Man 3, Black’s best films have pretty much always relied on great buddy-cop dynamics between two mismatched protagonists.
Shane Black is THE buddy movie director in Hollywood.
