Ryan Gosling, who deserves to be a bigger deal in Hollywood than he is, may play the Green Lantern, who, according to our calculations, is the third most famous green superhero, behind the Hulk and the Green Hornet. (Correct us if we're wrong.) Playing a superhero may seem like a stretch for Gosling, who's kind of a poor man's Ed Norton (brainy, intense, kind of highfalutin'). But Norton played the Hulk. And apparently one version of the Green Lantern's comic book visage was based on the face of Paul Newman, and when we look at Gosling, we see a little bit of Newman too. Plus, what do you do after you play a guy who falls in love with a life-sized silicone love doll, as Gosling did in Lars and the Real Girl? Obviously, you don some lime-green Lycra muscle-tights and fight bad guys.
