Is Green Lantern Coming To The CW?

It was recently announced that Patrick J. Adams (one of the stars on Suits, which is about to have its final season) would be appearing in the season finale of Legends of Tomorrow.  The CW hasn't released what Adams role is going to be, but there is a lot of speculation out there that he might be playing the Green Lantern...just not the one that most of you are familiar with.

The CW has been teasing that Hal Jordan is a part of their "Arrow-verse" since the first season of Arrow.  Ferris Airlines, billboards, the mention of an ace test pilot, all of these things have either appeared or has been mentioned.  It's led a lot of people to believe that at some point Hal Jordan himself will show up.  The problem with this is that Warner Bros. won't let the writers and executive producers for the show actually use him.  They want to keep Jordan on the big screen and off the television shows.  But that's Hal Jordan...

The rumor that's going around is that Adams is going to be playing Alan Scott in the season finale of Legends of Tomorrow.  Scott was the Green Lantern during the Golden Age of comic books.  Created in 1940 by Martin Nodell and Bill Finger, Scott became the Green Lantern after encountering a mystical meteor.  He could fly, time travel, create things out of thin air, things like that.  He was not part of the Green Lantern Corps. Hal Jordan is, but he did have his share of scrapes with evil villains.  One of them?  Vandal Savage.  See how this all ties together with Legends?

There's another rumor out there that says that the CW is considering a Green Lantern television show featuring Adams as Alan Scott, and with the show Suits coming to an end, that would free Adams up for a new project.  The question now is, during what time period would the show take place?  Scott's Green Lantern lived through the 40's, and with the show Legends of Tomorrow dealing with time travel, are they going to go back to the 40's and encounter Scott there?  Or are they going to bring him into the current time period and make him more modern?

This is all just speculation, since nothing has been announced as far as what role Adams is going to have on the season finale, but it's fun to think about.  What are your thoughts on the whole thing?  Do you want to see a Green Lantern television show?  Would you watch it if it featured Scott instead of Jordan?  Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.
