As a comic book character, Green Lantern has always been pretty silly.
As such, Green Lantern has been famously difficult to adapt into live-action. A 2011 Green Lantern film starring Ryan Reynolds was so notorious that Reynolds himself has repeatedly mocked it. Zack Snyder had Green Lantern briefly appear in a Justice League ancient battle flashback, but Warner Bros. blocked the director from introducing the character into the present day. A film titled Green Lantern Corps was announced for the DC Extended Universe in 2014, but after several top creatives tried to crack the script (including David S. Goyer, Geoff Johns and Christopher McQuarrie), the effort was dropped. The character was beginning to seem like he was destined to be relegated to Six Flags amusement parks and animated titles (where the character has appeared quite often).
