Yes, they should have gotten Pounder but this is hardly the sort of thing (casting someone in a supporting role that doesn't look exactly like their comic book counterpart) that's going to ruin a franchise. For example, Michael Caine looks nothing like the comic book Alfred but no one seems to care.

  • (Director Martin Campbell:)In most superhero movies, they never are hurt. What you see in those movies is someone getting blasted a hundred yards into a brick wall and then they turn and shake their head and just go right back into the action. None of them ever seem to suffer because of it. That’s something where, I hope with The Green Lantern we’ll be able to make it slightly more real than it’s possibly been in some of the other superhero movies.
