Re: Animated Green Lantern July 2009

I wish these DC animated things had a bit more individual style to them. They all look exactly the same, which I guess is the point, shared universe and all, but they start looking cookie-cutter after awhile.

The thing is - These AREN'T in a shared universe. Each title was supposed to exist on it's own with it's own particular style. They're really dropping the ball here by keeping them looking like they're part of the Timm-verse.

Maybe that'll change with Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.

I wish Bruce Timm would do commentaries on the Justice League episodes they include.

Nice to see a featurette tying into this summer's Blackest Night event.

Further Details:
Warner has announced 1-disc DVD ($19.98), 2-disc DVD ($24.98) and Blu-ray ($29.99) editions of The Green Lantern: First Flight for the 28th July. Extras on the 2-disc edition will include an audio commentary, 2 featurettes ("Behind the Story with Geoff Johns", "Behind the Scenes of Blackest Night DC Superhero Event"), Character Profiles of Sinestro and the Guardians of the Universe, a Duck Dodgers Series Episode The Green Loontern, and 2 bonus cartoons presented by Bruce Timm. The Blu-ray release will include all of the above, plus 5 additional cartoons, and a look at the symbolism of the ring in literary lore.

Re: Animated Green Lantern July 2009

WOW!! I am so down for the two-discer!! Looks like some awesome special features! I was hoping they would have something on there promoting this summer's Blackest Night storyline. By the way if anyone is interested in GL and are not getting Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps NOW is the time! Best books DC is putting out IMHO!!
The Duck Dodgers "Green Loontern" episode is the mint on the pillow!!

Take care all!!

Didn't they have a Green Lantern figurine packaged with Justice League: The New Frontier? Can't tell from the pic if it's the same figurine, but I remember it looking kind of cheap.

Yes they did, but this one looks like a more modern version of Green Lantern.

The movie is good, but nowhere as good as Wonder Woman.

Green Lantern is close behind Wonder Woman though. I would call this movie Sinestro instead of Green Lantern: First Flight. It's more of an awesome origin story for Sinestro.

Here's how I would rate the recent Marvel/D.C. animated films:

Wonder Woman: A+
Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow: B+
Green Lantern: B
Hulk vs Wolverine/Thor: B
Justice League: Final Frontier: B
Superman Doomsday: B-
Ultimate Avengers: C+
Ultimate Avengers 2: C+
The Invincible Iron Man: C
Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme: C
Batman Gotham Knight: C

I thought it did a good job of both. Introducing the GL universe and its major players and showing how GL and his arch villain came to be.

Re: Animated Green Lantern July 2009

Overall, I think the DC Animated movies, with the exception of Batman: Gotham Knight, have been pretty good. Better than the ones Marvel have been putting out.


Hulk vs Wolverine/Thor: B
Justice League: Final Frontier: A-
Superman Doomsday: B
Ultimate Avengers: C
Ultimate Avengers 2: C-
The Invincible Iron Man: D
Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme: C+
Batman Gotham Knight: F-

1. Justice League: Final Frontier (Own)
2a. Superman Doomsday (Own)
2b. Wonder Woman
3. Ultimate Avengers (Own)

Green Lantern (I hope it will be great!!! Loved Mike Grell's GL/GA series in the 70's) WILL BUY ON BR

Next were enjoyable, but not great:

Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow
Hulk vs Wolverine/Thor
Ultimate Avengers II
The Invincible Iron Man (Own)
Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme (Own)
Batman Gotham Knight (Own)

Re: Animated Green Lantern July 2009

Another Green-Ray case, woohoo!

I picked up the Blu at Target for just $22.99. Their "exclusive disc" is only with the two-disc DVD and as with the Wonder Woman DVD it was only two more animated episodes -- Justice League's "In Blackest Night" Part 1 & 2. And since I already got that series on disc, I passed on it.

Sorry, I only glanced at the Target exclusive sticker on my way to pick up the Blu-ray. Someone will probably have to buy it to find out that information, since the bonus disc didn't seem to be mentioned on the back.
