Green Lantern Animated Series Producers Talk About the New Show

8/23/2011 No comments

There was a lot of comic book and movie news coming out of this summer's San Diego Comic Con, but there was quite a bit of information about television shows, including the Green Lantern CGI animated series that makes its debut some time late this year.  MTV has released three new video interviews with the producers of the show, discussing the relationships of the characters, the tone of the show, and the challenges Bruce Timm and company are facing in their first foray into making a show using all 3D animation.
First up, Bruce Timm talks about the tone of the show and some of the production challenges associated with Green Lantern: The Animated Series because of the departure from traditional animation.


Producer and writer for the show, Jim Krieg, talks about the dynamic between Hal Jordan and Kilowog that will be at the core of the show.  Krieg likens some of his approach to a having a definite "buddy space cop" vibe.


Not ignoring the antagonists of the series, producer Giancarlo Volpe talks about the reasons behind the lack of Sinestro in the show, which will focus heavily on the threat the Red Lanterns pose, however not ruling out an appearance by everyone's favorite yellow ring wielding menace.  Volpe also talks about how the producers of the show kept the Bruce Timm art design sensibilities while moving into a different direction with how the show is animated.

SDCC Green Lantern Panel News

7/23/2011 No comments



This morning in San Diego Geoff Johns was joined by Executive Editor Eddie Berganza, Assistant Editor Adam Schlagman, "Green Lantern Corps" writer Peter Tomasi, "Red Lanterns" artist Ed Benes, Warner Brothers writer and producer Alan Burnett and Bob Wayne for DC Comic's Green Lantern panel.  The discussion included topics such as Sinestro's tenure as the new Green Lantern of Sector 2814, the Green Lantern movie and Geoff Johns' plans for how long he will be staying with the Green Lantern title.

Before starting in on the conversation about the comics Geoff Johns shared a clip from the upcoming Cartoon Network animated series.  Nothing else was mentioned about the series, although during a conversation about "Green Lantern: Emerald Knights" both Alan Burnett and Geoff Johns mentioned that they are working on a project together dealing with a "very requested storyline".  The obvious first thought that springs to mind is that the two are developing a Sinestro Corps War direct to dvd feature.

DC Universe Online Green Lantern Expansion Videos

7/21/2011 No comments

From the floor of the San Diego Comicon comes a video interview with the developers working on the DC Universe Online video game talking about the upcoming "Fight for the Light" Green Lantern inspired expansion pack.  Additional Sony Online Entertainment has released a trailer for the downloadable content that should be available before the end of the summer for around $9.99. 

Interesting notes from the interview include the news that the expansion provides story narrative that plays off the Green Lantern / Sinestro Corps storyline that appears in the original game and the revelation that the expansion pack will allow players to leave Earth to go to Oa in a mission to fight a breakout in the Sciencells.  This new alert will allow players to face off after a number of villains and reach its climax with a battle against none other than Krona, who wields the same power gauntlet seen during the War of the Green Lanterns.  The expansion will also feature the in game debuts of Atrocitus and the Red Lantern Corps, Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner.
