Don't forget all the X-men movies, Wolverine, Men In Black (yes it was a comic before a movie, acquired by Marvel in 1994), Avengers, Ghost Rider, Daredevil and Electra. But I digress.
I think you're right. It did seem like the Green Lantern was marketed and advertised consistently for almost 2 years. It may be that these characters are lesser known, and so DC is having to spend a ton of cash to get some public recognition.
It obviously made tougher when you're releasing a superhero movie the same summer two others drop. It's especially harder when audiences want more from a super hero film. The I saved the world in 1 hour 43 minutes shtick is getting old, and I for one want more character development.
I feel if DC were to make a move toward producing a better product, audiences would respond, whether they know the character beforehand or not.
Most of the audience didn't know Blade was a comic before the movie release, I for one didn't. I doubt you'll find a lot of people that knew Men In Black was a comic before also. But the movies themselves were a better product, and audiences responded.
That's just how I see it anyhow.
