Who is the Green Hornet?

Seth Rogen is, if I were to answer my own question. The Green Hornet starts off the year for caped crusaders, superheroes, masked vigilantes, call them whatever you prefer. Rich man's son who seems to have lost his way, till he realises that he could be out there, on the streets of Los Angeles, in the shadiest of places, doing some good after all. But not in his true form. Aha! Step in the alter-ego, Green Hornet. With shades of the personality clashes that Bruce Wayne (aka Batman) and Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) went through, Green Hornet though does not play solo and rolls on the streets in a gun-laden car with his sidekick, Kato. Well, the masked crusaders have clicked in the recent past on the big screen and makers of The Green Hornet would be hoping to have that feel-good factor going for them as well. A January release seems ominous though and while Avatar raked up much of its moolah in this month last year, big budget movies are usually not put out in the first month of the year. The Green Hornet should easily become the first movie of the year to hit the $100 million mark at the US box office, it will still need stronger legs to ensure that its distributors are happy considering the reported production budget of about $150 million. Seth Rogen has had his fair share of $100 million hits with Superbad and Knocked Up, though these were made at much lower budgets. Keeping all this aside, The Green Hornet will be there at the top of the weekend box office, hopefully Seth Rogen will earn good reviews (highly talented guy; is the co-writer for the movie too), and most importantly... it will pave the way for what could be an year for superheroes - Green Lantern, Thor and Captain America are waiting in the ranks...
