The Rock as new Green Lantern!?

It's been awhile now since the news came out that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has been talking to Warner Brothers about a possible role in a DC movie, and now it looks like this news is becoming a reality,

Back in November Dwayne posted a picture that used the hashtag  
#JohnStewartCanStillWhupSupermansAss

It's an hashtag innocent to some people, that is until they realize John Stewart is the name of one of the three most famous Green Lanterns. He also tweeted on New Years Eve

The Rock quickly tried post a tweet to deflect attention from the rumors, but a Superman/JLA- related hashtag is just to interesting to ignore.

All I said was.. #LanternCanWhupSuperman RT: @IGN: Did@TheRock reveal that he's playing John Stewart/Green Lantern? http://t.co/J1ZIi433UX

Due to Ryan Reynolds limp performance in the 2011 fantasy flick it's not a big stretch to think that DC is in the looks for a new Green lantern protagonist. I'm crossing my fingers for this to be true because The Rock would be amazing as the Green Lantern. His stride toughness will give the character some edge it was missing with Ryan Reynolds.
