Most people know Green Lantern through the Justice League cartoon which was John Stewart. Only thing people know Hal Jordan from is that terrible live-action movie.

We are living in a day and age knowing that there are Joker, Batman, and justice league movies all in separate universes but you don’t believe that people will understand that the Hal Jordan we saw is not canon to the current universe? Also don’t you think people might recognize him as the main Green Lantern in the comics?

Which still is only a few hundred thousand people. Comics are best selling with respect to other comics, not with the general audience.
People know Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman because they’ve had several beloved live action adaptions. Same with the flash. Green Lantern has one bad movie so far.

While this is true, GL worked in the context of being on an ensemble in that show.
Hal Jordan has the personal ties to the main villain (Sinestro) the second biggest villain (Star Sapphire) is the central figure in Emerald Twilight, Rebirth, Sinestro Corp and Blackest Night. He starts the GL legacy on Earth.
Also unlike Jon, Hal is pretty consistent character. Jon Stewart has been reworked and altered so much over the years

To be fair Hal was in cartoons before that and even appeared first in the DCAU in the Superman cartoon.
