The version of Smigel’s Green Lantern script that leaked is dated June 20, 2006, with an acknowledgment on the cover his story is inspired by the DC comics  The initial pages read a traditional retelling of the Hal Jordan origin, with the Green Lantern Abin Sur crashing to Earth and selecting a human with no fear to receive his magic ring. In this version, however, the ring bypasses Jordan and locates an Atlanta-area slacker named Jud Plato. There’s no real description of Jud’s look or demeanor, and the reason is simple. The studio had already selected its Green Lantern: the energetic, perpetually adolescent, Jack Black.
