No evil shall escape my sight

Beware my power... Green Lantern's light!"

Guy Gardner

Which supporting characters will pop up?
Who is the main villain in the story?
Will it be an origin story?
Who will voice GL?
When will it be out on DVD?
What will the animation style be like?

All these questions and many more will be answered in the coming months.

[Keyser Soze]

I'd love it if the film was an adaptation of Sinestro Corps War.

[cerealkiller182]

I kinda hope its not an origin story if the live-action movie is going to be an origin story too. That would just be a waste.

Hal Jordan: Adam Baldwin
John Stewart: Phil LaMarr
Kyle Rayner: Will Friedle
who were the JLU voices albeit Kyle and Hal were very brief they all fit very well

and for Guy Gardner I always wanted Thomas F. Wilson to voice him.

[phoenixflight]

Marvel released the animated Iron Man movie as an origin story and they still went on to do an origin story for the live-action version. It could happen.

Not that it matters, but Adam Baldwin did the voice of Superman in Superman: Doomsday. I doubt they would re-use such a high profile talent so quickly.

What about Ryan Gosling? I really can't see him in a live-action version, but maybe those rumors many months ago were based on his voice talents for the animated movie.

[phoenixflight]

Here are some animation of Hal Jordan as Green Lantern over the decades...

The Wonder Woman DVD comes out on March 3, 2009 which is earlier than the release of Black Freighter (one week later).

You left out Batman: The Brave and The Bold:

http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh147/GLKEL/06.jpg


And the DVD is about Hal Jordan. If you watch the behind the scenes online Brave and the Bold featurette you'll see there's a poster of the animated movie hanging beside a computer, and it's a pic of Hal Jordan. :D

Hal FTW!!

Guy Gardner is awesome on Batman: The Brave and The Bold, which is an AWESOME show BTW, the best thing since JLU, I'd say it even exceeds it in some ways for sure. :)

Where did you see the Brave and The Bold featurette?

I can't wait for this animated movie.

Wouldn't it be awesome if we get the animated movie then the live action.

[Kevin Smith]

Where did you see the Brave and The Bold featurette?

http://dcherozone.kidswb.com/braveandthebold/

It's in the behind the scenes section in one of the videos. :)

I can't wait for this animated movie.

Same here! :D

Wouldn't it be awesome if we get the animated movie then the live action.

Yes! Hell yes! And how awesome would it be if there were a GL movie trailer on the animated GL DVD? (altho it seems impossible at this point)

[Webhead2006]

personally i like jl/jlu over brave and the bold, its a decent show though still aimed more for the younger kids and more happy and flashier.

[cerealkiller182]

didnt say it couldnt happen. said i hope they dont

Not that it matters, but Adam Baldwin did the voice of Superman in Superman: Doomsday. I doubt they would re-use such a high profile talent so quickly.

Adam Baldwin has voiced characters in Superman Doomsday, JLU, Static Shock, and The Zeta Project, all under DC's cartoon productions I believe. I dont think they are scared of reusin him.

What about Ryan Gosling? I really can't see him in a live-action version, but maybe those rumors many months ago were based on his voice talents for the animated movie.

I find it very doubtful.

[Lane & Kent]

I can't wait for this. Can someone please tell me where I can find pics of Hal Jordan's Origin from the Superfriends episode "Secret Origins of the Superfriends".

[Hush]

I want it to be a GL corps movie, not just one.

[phoenixflight]

I took a blurry photo of the Green Lantern poster that is shown in the "Batman: Brave and the Bold" behind the scenes feature.

That does look like Hal Jordan!!


http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/8022/glanimdg7.jpg

[cerealkiller182]

hope its not the brave and the bold animation. I want something more distinct

[NotFadeAway]

This should have been done years ago.

[Lane & Kent]

agreed

[Yeabro657]

On www.comic-con.org you can see a picture from Green Lantern animated movie. It is the third thing to appear on that little flash animation.

[NotFadeAway]

Now, we need a solo Flash animated movie.

[phoenixflight]

On www.comic-con.org (http://www.comic-con.org) you can see a picture from Green Lantern animated movie. It is the third thing to appear on that little flash animation.

Thank you for the link and welcome to the hype!! Will you be attending Wonder Con?

[Lane & Kent]

This should be based on Green Lantern: Secret Origin

[Hush]

No it should'nt I want all the GL's.

I seriously doubt it will be. So Secret Origins would be a good starting point.

Sweet! Thanks, and welcome to SHH! :D

[Kevin Smith]

personally i like jl/jlu over brave and the bold, its a decent show though still aimed more for the younger kids and more happy and flashier.

Same here, JLU was definitely more complex and serious than B & B (so far anyway), and I liked that, but as far as being close to the comics goes, B & B, IMO, is the best to date. I love that show. :D

[Kevin Smith]

Now, we need a solo Flash animated movie.

Amen ta that! They could do like Gotham Kinight did and feature 6-7 segments: 1 set in the 40s with Jay Garrick, 3 with Barry Allen, 2 with Wally West, and 1 with Wally and Bart Allen. :D

That said, I want to see The Flash (Barry) and Kid Flash (Wally West) in animation together. :)

[Kevin Smith]

Looks like they've abandoned the white gloves there too.

Wouldn't it be cool if that were the movie suit? :)

[Kevin Smith]

This should be based on Green Lantern: Secret Origin

I'm down with that. :D

[Webhead2006]

yea i think black gloves with green ring stands out better then white glove and green ring.

[protocida]

[Lane & Kent]

That rocks! thanks for sharing protocida

[GL's Light]

I'm really looking forward to this. Wonder Woman in March and Green Lantern in late summer or fall makes for a great line-up for this year's DTV releases.

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies is next after Green Lantern, and then it looks like it'll be another Batman solo title (although what exactly it'll be isn't known yet).

Batman: The Brave and the Bold has been doing a great job with the GLC. Hopefully the DTV and live action feature will lead to a GL animated series.

[Webhead2006]

well if the animated movie and the live action film do well they will likely cash in on the character with a solo animated series.

[protocida]

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies will be made?

Cool! :woot:

And i think Green Lantern will be a origin story about Hal Jordan.

[Lane & Kent]

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies will be made?

Cool! :woot:

And i think Green Lantern will be a origin story about Hal Jordan.

sgreed on both points.

[Sawyer]

Even thought I'm not the biggest fan of his, it should be interesting to see Ed McGuinness' art style on Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.

And, though it's small, that pic of the GL movie looks fantastic! :up:

[phoenixflight]

http://i44.tinypic.com/28un1xe.jpg

Thank you for posting this image!!! It looks great...can't wait!!

[cerealkiller182]

the art style for green lantern is definitely looking good. I still hope to god that they do a GLC movie rather an origin story because 1) Hal origin is coming up anyway and 2) the GLC has been featured in most animated features without needing any previous knowledge and has proven to remain popular.

[leviathan]

I can't wait for this movie. As mentioned already..I really hope this isn't done with the animation style of The Brave And The Bold. I can appreciate the throw back style of TBATB, but would rather see a style similar to JLU.

[protocida]

Am I nuts or are Hal's temples grey in that pic?

[phoenixflight]

I think it's just shadows

[dnno1]

If they see a good response from the sales of the video, you never know. I myself am begining to think that they chose that design to establish a continuity with the DCAU (i.e. BTAS, STAS, JL, & JLU). Note that these were more adult themed as opposed to the other series which was geared more for the younger crowd.

[GL's Light]

As reported by World's Finest, Warners has announced the full title:

Green Lantern: First Flight

So it's obviously going to be Hal Jordan's origin story.

[Webhead2006]

well maybe it will have the glc too for parts of the film.

[KenshinAtrain]

I don't think you can have the film without it. I mean he has to be trained so I think we may get at least a brief few of the Corps when he travels to Oa

[StorminNorman]

I think having an origin GL DTV film right before you have a GL origin film is a bit disappointing, personally.

I would of preferred a GL DTV movie that told a different story.

[REDophile]

A week from Friday, 2/27, WonderCon, SF. WW animated movie premiere with GL speak peak: I'm there! Just booked tickets for two friends and myself, maybe I'll see some of you there too. However, what I'd enjoy even more is some real juicy info on the LIVE ACTION GL film comin' up....

[cerealkiller182]

agree 1000%. Thats a huge letdown

[Sawyer]

Someone on the World's Finest said they thought this could be a sort of backdoor pilot for a GL animated series, which would make sense for them to have this be an origin story.

[Wesley Dodds]

An animated series running alongside the movie sounds an awful lot like WB's MO too

[Sawyer]

An animated series running alongside the movie sounds an awful lot like WB's MO too

Yeah cause WB is totally the only studio that does stuff like that...

X-Men Origins: Wolverine...... Wolverine and the X-Men
Iron Man........ Iron Man: Armored Adventures
Thor movie.......... Thor: The Animated Series (title is unknown right now)
The Avengers movie............. Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

WB aint the only ones.

Plus, a GL animated series would be ****in awesome! :cmad:

[Wesley Dodds]

I didnt say they were. I'm just most familiar with WB's stuff... At ease, soldier.

[Panthro]

We are in dire need of a Green Lantern animated series, so if this is a backdoor pilot, that's fine by me.

[dnno1]

It seemed to work for Iron Man.

[marcvader]

It would be cool to get a Flash solo next then an MM one after that.

[GL's Light]

It would be cool to get a Flash solo next then an MM one after that.
Like I said earlier, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies has been confirmed as the next release after Green Lantern: First Flight, and a Batman release is reportedly in pre-production for release after that. The Flash is said to be one of the characters in development to get a DTV at some stage.

[Panthro]

It would be cool to get a Flash solo next then an MM one after that.
Definitely.

[Sawyer]

It seemed to work for Iron Man.

Except that the Iron Man DTV sucked.

[bigsams50]

Yea, it was horrible

[protocida]

The movie will be called "Green Lantern: First Flight", and will focus on Hal Jordan's origin. New pics of the movie and the DVD cover will be released in the following days.

[Changeling]

I say we should do this:
We're already getting GL and Wondy DTV's, so next I say we do Flash, then after that, Aquaman, and then MM. Then we get a huge JLA DTV!

[Wesley Dodds]

I say we should do this:
We're already getting GL and Wondy DTV's, so next I say we do Flash, then after that, Aquaman, and then MM. Then we get a huge JLA DTV!

Thats a fantastic idea. And if Nathan Fillion really is too old for the live action movie well then let him have this... I've said it before, now i'll say it again... He IS Hal Jordan!

Does the world honestly need more Batman?

I would actually like to see some other characters other than Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Maybe some Green Arrow, Flash (Barry Allen), etc; or how about that Teen Titans movie that they canned?

[GL's Light]

From a sales point of view Batman and Superman are their best bets. They'll keep coming back to them after doing one or two releases of characters that are seen as being a bit riskier. Anyone who wants to see a greater range of characters featured in the DTVs with more frequency should buy Wonder Woman and Green Lantern: First Flight.

[phoenixflight]

I am fortunate enough to live in NYC and have access to stores that sell movies early. I just picked up the Wonder Woman DVD (which is simply an amazing movie!!!). Here is what we have all been waiting for:

* The Green Lantern sneak peak is a 10-minute very in depth first look at the character and his origin.

* At least 5-minutes is spent highlighting the comic history of Green Lantern's origin (initially talking about Alan Scott and then Hal Jordan), delving into (actual) space travel and then back to the Green Lantern Corps.

* Lauren Montgomery (director of Wonder Woman) is directing this movie. Currently the movie is titled simply 'GREEN LANTERN'.

* This movie is described as a 'cop thriller set in outer space'. As per Bruce Timm, 'very little time is spent on Earth. It's a big galactic adventure'.

The cast is as follows:

* Christopher Meloni is the voice of Hal Jordan/Green Lantern

* Victor Garber is the voice of Sinestro

* Michael Madsen is Kilowog

* Tricia Helfer is Boodikka

Other Green Lantern corps members also show up!!!

It is scheduled for release SUMMER 2009

That sounds fan-freakin-tastic! Thanks for that, phoenixflight! Why didnt i think of Michael Madsen as Kilowog!? Perfect casting!
And where do i know the name Christopher Meloni?

Oh yeah! Law And Order guy! Would've preferred Fillion but yeah, thats a really good choice! The words "Cop thriller set in outer space" have me pretty excited as well.

Umm, what style of animation is it?

[phoenixflight]

Umm, what style of animation is it?

Lauren Montgomery (the director) is also an artist. I'm not sure if she is lending her talents to this as well. She did art work on Wonder Woman and Superman: Doomsday.

They showed a lot of sketch work on the characters that looked really good. I'm not sure which artist I would compare it to, but it looks really 'clean and angular' with well proportioned muscular definition. I'll look at the DVD again. I will try to get a screen grab to post.

[Binker]

No, I mean is it Timm style or anime? Because there was this slight fear of it being an anime movie.

[Changeling]

Christopher Meloni has the perfect Hal voice.

[phoenixflight]

No, I mean is it Timm style or anime? Because there was this slight fear of it being an anime movie.
Sorry, misread your question. It is in no way anime style and it is also not Timmversed either. I like the look of it a lot...it has a maturity to it. I will try to post some pics. I may have to do it the 'bootleg' way and take pics of it off my tv...lol. I'm not sure how else to post images from a DVD. Any suggestions???

lookig good.

[Binker]

Another question about the style: is it still something you could fit along side the styles of the other DTVs?

[phoenixflight]

Another question about the style: is it still something you could fit along side the styles of the other DTVs?
I would say yes, not counting JL: New Frontier (which was set in the '50's and had that type of art style) and using only the Batman style from 'Deadshot' or possibly 'Crossfire'.

What do you think? Why do you ask...hoping that these Universes are connected somehow?

[Webhead2006]

I dont think that is wb's plan with these films right now. They are just single universes presently i think.

[GL's Light]

Yeah, all of the DC Universe DTVs are standalone movies with different voice casts and different designs (although you'll obviously sometimes have some similarity in the designs since many of the same artists are working on the various movies).

[phoenixflight]

I'm fine with them NOT being connected. All these characters deserve to have their stand-alone movies.

[cerealkiller182]

That first Sinestro sketch looks like namor almost.

Art design is cool

[phoenixflight]

I just finished watching the Sneak Peak again. Some additional info on the animated feature…

Gregory Noveck (DC Comics’ Senior VP of Creative Affairs):
- The biggest challenge is to not repeat anything we have done before
- This Green Lantern movie is not based on any specific source material
- Sinestro is the first among equals…he is the greatest of the Green Lantern’s who decides to take Hal (the rookie) under his wing
- It’s a cop-thriller set in outer space
- The good news about this GL movie is that Hal is going to interact with a whole host of people…villains and good guys

Lauren Montgomery (Director):
- It’s a training day sort of story where the veteran (Sinestro) space cop meets the rookie (Hal) space cop, but because the veteran has been ‘around the block’ it may have skewed his perspective a bit

Bruce Timm (Producer):
- Sinestro is Hal’s Darth Vadar...his Dr. Doom
- Almost the entire length of the movie takes place in outer space
- It’s a big galactic adventure

Andrea Romano (Casting Director):
- Christopher Meloni and Victor Garber were able to work together in the same studio when filming so they can act off each other’s performances (which is rare - according to Garber - in voice acting)

Meloni (on his performance)
- When delivering his lines, he felt he had a tendency (chuckling) to stand with his chest out and to the side

Garber (on Meloni’s performance)
- He does exude the heroic quality that the Green Lantern would embody

Madsen (as Kilowog)
- He feels he is the Trainer for the Corps

Helfer (as Boodikka)
- She is very passionate, very strong and has a little bit of a fun side

Here is GL's suit in the movie (again I apologize for the camera pics and the green tint - I think my TV is dying)http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/1395/1000344lx2.jpg

I guess the body armor makes sense in the police force angle.

And, it kinda shows that the movie will have an armored GL as well.

I love how cool Sinestro looks!

- When delivering his lines, he felt he had a tendency (chuckling) to stand with his chest out and to the side

Garber (on Meloni’s performance)
- He does exude the heroic quality that the Green Lantern would embody

Madsen (as Kilowog)
- He feels he is the Trainer for the Corps

Helfer (as Boodikka)
- She is very passionate, very strong and has a little bit of a fun side

Here is GL's suit in the movie (again I apologize for the camera pics and the green tint - I think my TV is dying)http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/1395/1000344lx2.jpg

Hey, it's fine, man, and thanks very much! :D

WTF is up with the armor tho? First Batman....now GL? WTF does he need armor for? I hate these stupid stylistic things. I'm beginning to think that no one (these artists in particular) knows anything about comics or GL. Hopefully it looks more fluent in animation. At least it looks more like Hal than some of the movie concept suits they were throwin' around. Not everything needs to have armor though. If The Flash shows up with armor I will be pissed. Hopefully the movie suit is less machine looking and is instead more streamlined and fluent, that is the way to go with characters like GL, sleak and cool, not armory and bulky. Does anyone know the principle of the ring?

I think the story will be a quick origin, but will focus mainly on Hal and Sinestro. I have a feeling that it will be similar to Emerald Dawn 2, where Hal discovers that Sinestro is a a demagogue on his homeworld and he gets expelled from the corps, should be interesting. The art style looks good except for the suit, which would be fine if it wasn't so "armory".

[Panthro]

I have to admit I'm surprised Michael Madsen wasn't tapped to voice Guy Gardner.

[Kevin Smith]

Hehe...:oldrazz:

She is mega hot. :D

[Webhead2006]

Yea gl doesnt need to have an armor look, though the suit looks nice.

[protocida]

Well, the Green Lanterns are space cops, so, the armors make sense. But i think each GL will have a different design. At least, Boddika will.

I wonder if Sinestro is going to use his yellow ring...

[Sawyer]

I have to admit I'm surprised Michael Madsen wasn't tapped to voice Guy Gardner.

Eeh, Madsen's voice doesnt match what I imagine Gardner would sound like.

[phoenixflight]

Although I can't confirm this, the story feels like Hal Jordan will be the first and only Earthling that is a Green Lantern.

When they put Madsen's voice to Kilowog, it truly sounds like it belongs.

[KINGT'CHALLA]

I am fortunate enough to live in NYC and have access to stores that sell movies early. I just picked up the Wonder Woman DVD (which is simply an amazing movie!!!). Here is what we have all been waiting for:

* The Green Lantern sneak peak is a 10-minute very in depth first look at the character and his origin.

* At least 5-minutes is spent highlighting the comic history of Green Lantern's origin (initially talking about Alan Scott and then Hal Jordan), delving into (actual) space travel and then back to the Green Lantern Corps.

* Lauren Montgomery (director of Wonder Woman) is directing this movie. Currently the movie is titled simply 'GREEN LANTERN'.

* This movie is described as a 'cop thriller set in outer space'. As per Bruce Timm, 'very little time is spent on Earth. It's a big galactic adventure'.

The cast is as follows:

* Christopher Meloni is the voice of Hal Jordan/Green Lantern

* Victor Garber is the voice of Sinestro

* Michael Madsen is Kilowog

* Tricia Helfer is Boodikka

Other Green Lantern corps members also show up!!!

It is scheduled for release SUMMER 2009

did they show any footage?

[phoenixflight]

did they show any footage?

Almost all the footage shown were concept art and animated sketches.

[GL's Light]

I have to admit I'm surprised Michael Madsen wasn't tapped to voice Guy Gardner.
Michael Madsen has a slow drawl with a raspy, gravelly sound. That's right for Kilowog, but wrong for Guy Gardner in my opinion. Gardner should be a fast talker with a sharp tone to his voice.

I'm beginning to think that no one (these artists in particular) knows anything about comics or GL.
The producers, directors and artists making these films are huge fans of the comics. That's evident every time you see them interviewed and on every commentary track.

[Binker]

Little side note:

Of course, Tricia Helfer is also known for the film "Walk All Over Me", where she played a Dominatrix:

That makes sense, if I rember right wasn't Hal the only Earth GL when he started out in the comics.

[Doctor Jones]

The armor is definately something they'll go with in the film.

[marcvader]

The art looks great, but like others have stated, not liking the armor look. I also would've liked for there to be a touch of white somewhere.

[I Am The Knight]

Hmmm, it is kinda cool.

[Eddie Dean]

This is probably my favorite voice cast so far. I wouldn't mind if they carried Madsen over to live action.

[phoenixflight]

This is probably my favorite voice cast so far. I wouldn't mind if they carried Madsen over to live action.

The casting is very well chosen, and I could almost see them use Christopher Meloni, Victor Garber, Michael Madsen and Tricia Helfer in a live-action movie.

I however have to go with the Wonder Woman voice cast as my favorite. Come on...Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion, Alfred Molina, Virginia Madsen and Rosario Dawson are all simply awesome. PS, I'm also a HUGE Wonder Woman fan!!!

For the Green Lantern movie, there are still additional voice cast that have not been identified yet (but were clearly shown to have speaking parts based on the animated sketch sequences shown). They are Abin Sur, The Guardians of the Universe, Ch'p and other Green Lanterns.

[Chris B]

I'll definitely be checking this out. And I'm liking their rendition suit. Wouldn't mind seeing something similar in the live-action film.

[The Guard]

Meh to the costume. I don't mind the idea of an armored Space Knight Green Lantern, but the design isn't all that great.

Wow, I completely forgot that movie and I really enjoyed it too. That cast was brilliant. They all truly had voices that fit the 50's style very well.

[protocida]

Agreed.

[Hush]

Im loving the designs so far and you can tell they have that Timm type of head, its awesome!

Same here.

[Webhead2006]

well we can hope if the lvie action film does go down they keep it more classic, you know take for example the spider-man movie suits. Have it made out of that materials but have a few modernizations here and their but retain the classic look of hal's suit.

[Kokomo29]

So, I'm pretty new to the world of GREEN LANTERN and have just recently started reading the comics. For most of my 20+ year life, I have been reading Batman and Superman and wanted to get into something new. Please excuse my ignorance, but is it safe to assume that Hal Jordan is by far the most popular GREEN LANTERN there is? Even more so than Stewart or Rayner?

In comics Hal Jordan has been labeled as the greatest Green Lantern. SOme would say that Kyle should be and there is constant debate over it. But comics wise he is the greatest. Fan favorite wise there have been ages upon ages of debate.

[Jake Cassidy]

They're both great, but I have to say my favorite cast thus far is the cast of JL: The New Frontier. They were just all so perfect.

I agree. Some of them could even play the characters in live action, especially Boreanaz and NPH. Jeremy Sisto would be a good Batman, too. He definately has the voice for it. :yay:

Isn't it funny that the DC animation gets all these great actors, but Marvel's are usually mediocre? You'd think they'd be the same.

[Kevin Smith]

Marvel has always been and still is consistently behind DC when it comes to animation. Marvel may dominate everywhere else, but DC still has them beat in animation. It seems like Marvel's always doing the same thing when it comes to animation but with slightly different art styles.

Hal has set a mark that I feel neither Stewart or Rayner has achieved yet. Hal Jordan is the definitive Green Lantern in my eyes. The Justice League cartoon series highlighted John Stewart, however his inclusion in the Justice League was more so to add some diversity within the founding members and not necessarily based on who was better at the role of Green Lantern. Rayner held his own as the so called 'last of the GL's' but I always left he was playing second fiddle to Hal.

[Kokomo29]

Thanks everybody! I hate to sound ignorant and "out of the loop" so I really appreciate all of your patience and assistance!

yea i myself dont know much of the dc comics world of things, though enjoy most of their live action films and love alot of their cartoon shows. For me with comics i am more a marvel fan there spidey is my fav i collect.

Makes Hal look a lot more toyetic, doesn't it? :cwink:

[lespaul59]

Prsonaly I think the armor looks incompleat, it just looks like something is missing to me. Myself I grew up reading my dad's GL comics so for me Hal has always been the best GL. I mean Kyle became a GL when I was getting out of collecting DC and well the Justice League and JLU animated John Stewart has grown on me but I still like Hal the best.

Some more news. From Wondercon and the WW panel with short description. I guess the teaser didn't show much.

http://youbentmywookie.com/entertainment/wondercon-09-dcs-green-lantern-first-flight-4495

Thanks for the link. Glad to hear there was more footage shown beyond the DVD sneak peek. I guess the new title is 'GREEN LANTERN: FIRST FLIGHT'. Here's the info from the site:

The teaser shown at the Wonder Woman panel was brief. It opened with quick flashes of Abin Sur’s ship, and his ship crashing on earth. Hal discovering the ship and Abin Sur. Abin Sur giving Hal the ring. He becomes engulfed by the emerald flames (very AHHHH Dragon Ball Z moment, but awesome). We see shots of other GL Corps members - Kilowog, Boodikka and Ch’p. We see a shot of Sinestro in his Sinestro Corps yellow costume. We see quick flashes of Hal in space fighting some aliens. (Hal picking up a bench and hitting some alien?) Also, Hal was shown in his regular GL costume and not the armored one that’s been making rounds online from the Wonder Woman DVD.

Overall, the film looks to be heavy science fiction as most of the shots took place in outer space (Of course, this was only about a 30 second teaser). The teaser finally ends with the print stating that Green Lantern: First Flight will be out this Summer 2009!

Green Lantern fans probably won’t have anything to worry about. Although the teaser did not show much, it showed enough of what to expect and if it’s anything like Wonder Woman, it will blow you away.

[Webhead2006]

[GL's Light]

Green Lantern: First Flight finds Hal Jordan recruited to join the Green Lantern Corps and placed under the supervision of respected senior Lantern Sinestro. The earthling soon discovers his mentor is actually the central figure in a secret conspiracy that threatens the philosophies, traditions and hierarchy of the entire Green Lantern Corps. Hal must quickly hone his newfound powers and combat the treasonous Lanterns within the ranks to maintain order in the universe.

[cerealkiller182]

I'm digging the voice cast

[dnno1]

Based on the sketches in the documentary on their website, it looks like this will be a good one. I especially like the artwork on this one. Even though the movie poster looks like Hal's original costume, the storyboard sketches do not show the white gloves.

[Brian Braddock]

Just saw the website;

Colour me excited.

[Changeling]

why does the website have a picture of Hal from how he looks in the comics? He looks way different from what we've seen from the movie designs.

[bryanss3]

I wish they made it look like the comics, but I'm not to upset about these character models though. I'd probably only be upset if they made it into anime.

[Donnie Darko]

I am so excited about this. Over the last few years, I have grown to love Hal Jordan and all that being a Green Lantern stands for. I will definitely be buying this as soon as it comes out.

As far as the armored suit... I'm hoping it's not what he wears the entire movie. It does make sense for him to have something of an armored look at some point when he is fighting, forming the armor as a ring construct.

[Kal-El 8]

By the way...YEAH!! Original costume!!

Another DC Universe Animated movie I can't wait to check out . Ok after this I want Wally West as The Flash animated film .

[phoenixflight]

I wonder which two episodes of Justice League will Bruce Timm put on the DVD? For starters, Hal only appeared briefly in JLU in the episode "The Once and Future Thing, Part 2: Time, Warped". Whatever episode Bruce picks I think it should center around the Green Lantern Corps (meaning showing other members of the Corps) and not an episode specific to only John Stewart. I think they are only 4 such episodes with "The Return" beng on my top list.

[BlackLantern]

I'm excited for this and the voice cast seems great....Chris Meloni and Victor Garber seem to be a great fit for Hal and Sinestro....and also that about 90 percent of the movie will take place out in space

Interesting that Sinestro has the more recent costume, and it may be nitpicking, but I do kinda wish they had they badge bit, where he didn't get the Green Lantern on his chest until after basic training. Wish I coulda heard more of Hal than screaming, I'm curious to see how Maloney voices Hal, because seeing it with the storyboarding doesn't feel the same. But the trailer is pretty sweet.

I think Sinestro's recent outfit makes sense. From what I've heard, it looks like we'll see the Sinestro Corps, represented by a group of extremist rogue Green Lanterns, much like Sinestro himself.

That trailer looks amazing!!! Can't wait to see this!

[BlackLantern]

as compared to his old costume....the new sinestro corps one is more fitting....that original blue and black one just never appealed to me....

[phoenixflight]

I really love the feel for this movie already. I can only hope that the live action follows in its footsteps!!

It looks good, I'm not sure how I feel about Abins redesign, though.

[stextc]

I heard the release date was moved from late June to late July.
Any truth to this?

[Sub-Zero]

the trailer is out now. looks awesome, but sinestro is wearing his sinestro corps armor instead of his purple and black costume.meh. i doubt it'll matter.

:gl: The trailer for Green Lantern: First Flight looks awesome.

[Borat]

That looks amazing!

[guitarsingerguy]

The trailer looks fantastic.

[Crook]

That trailer was awesome. Seemed like a live-action flick from how it was edited and presented. This is probably the highest I've anticipated a DC-animated film.

[Deadpool876]

The trailer...Oh man, WOW!

Why did he turn completely green? Was that a level-up? And he shot from the palm of his hand! A good model for the live action GL imo.

Oooooo, that trailer was nice and pretty. :woot: The designs and animation look smooth and sleek. Really looking forward to this one. :up:

[Keyser Soze]

What a trailer!

The animated movie is looking really great. I'm starting to worry it's gonna steal the thunder from the live action version! :)

[greenlantern248]

That trailer almost made me change my shorts. I can just imagine what the actually animated movie will do. I can't wait for this, I want it now.

I like the fact that Sinestro is in his Sinestro Corps outfit rather than the blue/purple and black one. As far as Abin Sur, yeah his new look does look wierd, but it something people will get used to.

I wonder if the scene where he turns all green is a link to either Parallax or Ion ( I wouldn't think Ion cause that is Kyle not Hal, but studios have been known to change things before)

[Keyser Soze]

One of my favourite moments in the trailer has to be Hal Jordan forming a construct of a STEEL CHAIR to take out a bad guy. Evidently Hal's a wrestling fan. ;)

[greenlantern248]

^Haha must be, I wonder if Hal takes a day off every year for Wrestle Mania?

[phoenixflight]

This movie looks amazing!! Can't wait. Looks as if DC has truly stepped up their game. I absolutely loved Wonder Woman (huge fan). This is looking brilliant as well!!

^I think they should use that suit for the live action version. The white gloves is kinda lame.

[SolidRoar]

No way, bring on the white gloves (classic never dies!)

Been waiting TOO LONG for this. July can't come soon enough! Between this, the live-action movie news as production nears, and all the GL events in the comics, 2009 is truly shaping up to be THE YEAR OF THE GREEN LANTERN LIGHT!

I bet Hal will enter the Central Battery to elevate his badassery levels and fight Sinestro. :woot:

Definetly. White gloves are classic, but wouldn't be taken seriously.

[Dark Knight90!]

Trying to make us forget about Justice League:The New Frontier, eh Warner Bros.?

False advertising... blatantly trying to cover the fact that JL New Frontier was basically Hal's origin story told in animated form.

You know it was more of a Green Lantern movie than it was a Justice League movie.

New Frontier is a stand alone story set in the 50's and was marketed as such....what's your point??

[Grommers]

I can see both sides to that argument, New frontier was a little to much GL for my liking.

[Dark Knight90!]

''FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER''...

''IN HIS FIRST GROUNDBREAKING ANIMATED FILM''


... I beg to differ, considering Justice League: The New Frontier could arguably be name Green Lantern: The New Frontier.

''FROM THE CREATORS OF:''

Superman: Doomsday

---- huh???

Batman: Gotham Knight
Wonder Woman


I'm just saying... the one film that the crew worked on which they choose not to advertise is the one were we saw Green Lantern's origins.

Two films later, what are we getting again?... so i repeat : ''Trying to make us forget about something, eh Warner Bros.?''


Just an observation.. I'm incredibly excited for this movie.

[Drakon]

The comic had a lot of balance, but they movie did do a bit more GL than I woulda expected.

[BlackLantern]

exactly....you use the word 'arguably'.....there are episodes of JL and JLU that are Green Lantern centered so you could apply the argument there as well if you'd like....

it is the first time GL has had a self titled animated film....so its all in the wording.....

[protocida]

Agreed.

And I consider Justice League: The New Frontier a movie about Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter.
