If you need clarification on who might be joining the DC universe in a specific role, leave it to the head of Kryptonian day savers and peace makers to have the final say on the matter. That's what happened regarding a recent casting rumor that was swiftly shut down days after it was spotted by the co-head of the DCU and director of Superman, James Gunn.
Earlier this week, actor Garret Dillahunt, who is set to appear in the HBO series Lanterns, uploaded images of himself wearing a green domino mask, accompanied by a well-groomed goatee and a hood. The image replicated a storyboard that Dillahunt had also posted alongside the shot before both pictures were subsequently taken down. Unfortunately, by that point, fans were already caught up in a whirlwind of speculation, assuming that Dillahunt may have accidentally revealed himself to be taking on the role of Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, a longtime pal to Hal Jordan the greatest Green Lantern of all set to be played by Kyle Chandler in the new series. That was until Gunn shut down the rumors in his typical no-nonsense fashion.
