Further down in that Hollywood Reporter Article I just posted:

One of John’s first projects will be Green Lantern Corps, based on DC’s intergalactic police heroes which Johns is already very familiar with, having spent nine years writing Green Lantern comics and its spin-offs and publishing events. Johns will write the screenplay and act as one of the producers on the feature film.

Plus, we nerds finally get to see if it pays to have the writers translate the property.

Fingers crossed.
