"The Green Hornet," released in 2011, is an action-comedy film directed by Michel Gondry, featuring Seth Rogen as the titular character. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its humor and action sequences, while others criticized its plot and pacing. It offers a modern take on the classic superhero franchise, blending comedy with action. If you're a fan of buddy cop films or superhero comedies, you might enjoy it, but it may not satisfy those looking for a more serious superhero narrative.

Bruce Lee walked off the set of "The Green Hornet" primarily due to frustrations over the lack of creative control and the portrayal of his character, Kato. He felt that the role was not fully showcasing his martial arts skills and was often overshadowed by the lead character, Britt Reid (played by Van Williams). Lee's desire for a more prominent and authentic representation of his abilities and cultural heritage contributed to his decision to leave the production, which ultimately impacted his subsequent career in Hollywood.

The Green Hornet is not part of either the DC or Marvel universes; it originated from a radio program in the 1930s and was later adapted into comics. The character was created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker and has been published by various companies over the years, including King Features Syndicate and later by Dynamite Entertainment. While the Green Hornet is often associated with superhero themes, he exists in his own distinct continuity outside of the major comic book publishers.
