I still feel that Green Lantern's only real problem was that it tried to do too much, in too short a space.
Seriously, it had about a trilogy's worth of plot crammed into one movie.
They had no business casting Ryan Renolds as Hal Jordan, but honestly he wasn;t that aweful. It was the fact they tried to work an origin story, training, social life, Sinestro, Hammond, Parallax, AND start building to the war of light all in one go. It was just too much. If they had cut out just one of those elements and made a stronger focus on the others, it would have been a much stronger movie.

That said, Nolen is not directing the MoS movie (Producing, not directing), and I'm fairly certain it's not going to simply ape Batman Begins, but with Superman. Nolen is not michael bay. He knows how to make more than one film.
