Wow, that was fast!

Late Friday evening, Warner Bros. put out the announcement that their quest for a Green Lantern had concluded.

So which hottie is it: Ryan Reynolds, Justin Timberlake or Bradley Cooper?

The emerald sparkler is...Deadpool himself! Ryan Reynolds!

What do you think? Sound off in the comments or relive the magic from a few hours ago and pretend you still had a say.

How do you like your superheroes?

We here at E! like 'em hot, for one thing. Christian Bale as Batman: Check! Hugh Jackman as Wolverine: Yum! Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man: Yes, please! Chris Pine as Capt. Kirk (yeah, he's super enough to count): Double check!

So who should play the Green Lantern (not to be confused with the already-cast Green Hornet: no check) in the upcoming flick?

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. has chosen not to go with the fabulous fans' suggestion of Nathan Fillion. Instead, the studio has narrowed the playing field to Justin Timberlake, Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper.

The movie is set to open in December 2010, so Warner had better decide fast. Maybe you can help them. You could even suggest potential love matches in the comments!
