Green Lantern: The Animated Series

[Dark_Lord]

Cartoon Network is planning a Green Lantern animated series.

Phil Kent, chairman and CEO of Time Warner's Turner networks unit, showed a slide with some of Cartoon Network's original programming here Thursday at TW's investor day.

It included the title "Green Lantern: The Animated Series."

Warner Bros. chairman and CEO Barry Meyer later in the day mentioned this as an example of increasing collaboration and coordination between his unit and Turner. He said the Cartoon Network show is based on the DC Comics character and will follow some time after Warner's "Green Lantern" movie, scheduled for a June 17, 2011 release.

Awesome News. GL was always my favorite CB character.

This show has potential to go bad really quick, but also go really good really quickly.

From the DCAU thread

Comics Continuum and World's Finest are hearing that, as most figured was a no-brainer, there'll be an animated Green Lantern DTV released in summer 2011 to take advantage of the release of the feature film. However, they're hearing that it won't be a sequel to Green Lantern: First Flight, but will instead look at the origins of the Green Lantern Corps and may be an anthology in the style of Tales of the Green Lantern Corps.

World's Finest is also hearing that Warner Animation has given the go-ahead to a Green Lantern animated series (presumably the Bruce Timm series) with an initial order of 26 episodes. As usual, Warners declined to comment prior to any official announcement being made.

A Green Lantern animated project is in the works at Warner Bros. Animation, The Continuum has learned.
According to sources, it will be a direct-to-video film that will be timed for release of the live-action Green Lantern movie in the Summer of 2011.
A representative of Warner Home Video said the studio will not comment on any film that hasn't been announced as in production.
According to sources, the new Green Lantern animated project takes a look at the origins of the Green Lantern Corps, including the first ring wielders.
At Emerald City Comic-Con last weekend, DC Comics' Geoff Johns hinted at a Green Lantern animated series, which would appear to be a different project

WB has 3 NEW series on their slate, Mystery INC- the new Scooby show, Young Justice, and Bruce Timms CG Green Lantern for 4Q 2011. ALL for Cartoon Network, who originally passed on the new Thundercats. Both Mattel and Hasbro got the series pitch and passed on the toys for couple different reasons. "Lack of cool tech" the big one. But Ban Dai did a hard core play for the rights. They weren't interested in a "Classic" adult line, and thought that the new take on the series was something very different for the toy aisles. Which is what Mattel and Hasbro were afraid of.

I could go on and on about this... as I DO know A LOT about it

It's Sorta THE Young Justice. They will be going out with this BIG TIME at Comic Con. From what I saw, it's Martian Girl, Aqualad, Nightwing, Impulse, Arrowette, and Connor Kent. The poster gives me the tone that it's a cross between JLU and TT. I liked the look a lot. It's not quite Timm-style, but it's not All Murikami'd out like Teen Titans.

The kids were the focus of the poster, in the center, but The JL was behind them.

Wait, Bruce Timm is doing this? Time for the speculation that the DCAU is back! lol

Geez, three years? That sucks. Hopefully the wait is worth it.
