Nov 20 11 9:17 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	� Just caught the new animated Green Lantern animated series on Cartoon Network. Liked it quite a bit. Produced by Bruce Timm, it's CGI animated, with a bit of an "Incredibles" feel to the animation. Nice score, too. Recognized Kurtwood Smith's voice as one of the Green Lanterns. One thing I liked is that you're dropped right into the story, without the obligatory G.L. origin or explanation of what the G.L. Corp is about. I guess maybe the recent movie elevated the character's cultural presence to the point where a few more people know who G.L. is? GREG ESPINOZA I made it possible for you to come here!

Who am I kidding? It's GL, so I'll be watching. Cheers, Charles Prepolec Gaslight Grimoire Blog: News, Interviews and Updates Sherlock Holmes News: Sherlock Holmes in Films, Books and Media

It's good to see him back in the game, and from the pilot, this looks to be a worthy addition to the Timmiverse (even if it's not in the same continuity as JLU and the others). I was very comfortable with the animation- but then, I'm USED to the idea of seeing Timm's art in 3-d, as I have a shelf full of BATMAN:TAS toys over my drawing board!

The GL costume, for example, works much better when rendered in a flexible and stylized manner, to match the environment. The mask is more expressive, the tunic is more kinetic, etc. (I'm sorry, but Ryan Reynolds had all the grace of a plastic action figure, and the costume didn't do him any favors. 50 years worth of beautifully rendered comic book panels to pick and choose from, and that's the best design they could come up with?). Glad to see they've gone with the white gloves again, as do the comic book versions of the modern movie suit. Just something about black, white and green that's a huge part of the charm. This show looks great! I don't find it listed on Cartoon Network in the next 3 weeks -- has it started yet?

I really enjoyed it and was left wanting more at the sudden open ended conclusion. Big kudos to Kurtwood Smith and the handling of that part of the story. It was actually quite moving in its way. It's funny I used the On Demand search function to check if it was available and all it came up with were he pay per view options for the feature film and the trailer for same. A quick look under the Cartoon Network area showed it available until about the middle of next month.

I thought it was originally only a five episode series, and I'm happy to see Cartoon Network has ordered more. GREG ESPINOZA I made it possible for you to come here!

But I much prefer the show "Young Justice" which follows GL. Excellent writing and a much wider cast of characters from the DC Universe. An episode that aired a few weeks ago, "Misplaced" had Klarion the Witch Boy, Woton, Felix Faust and others create a new dimension where anyone eighteen or older was banished. Only Billy Batson, by saying "Shazam!" could travel back and forth. It was a fun, clever episode with Zatanna, Zatara, Batman, Dr. Fate and scores of other characters. DOCTOR 13

May 19 12 1:40 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm watching it and enjoying it, but with reservations, and only because I like to be supportive of anything comic-book related. The series suffers from a syndrome I'm sure has been properly labeled elsewhere, but suffice to say, there's no "connection." Hal Jordan is the only human being (aside from a Carol Ferris "intervention" a couple of weeks ago) in the whole series. Sure, the aliens and computer intelligence are interesting and all, but they're all off on some vague "quest" in the farthest reaches of space (it's like STAR TREK -- cruise along in their spaceship, come to a planet or answer a distress call, get out, fight, get back in said spaceship and zoom off). There's no sense of urgency, no threat to Earth or anyone we can readily identify with. The power rings can do ANYTHING, so there are no limits like web-shooters running out of fluid or batteries wearing down on armor chestplates. It's a common thread running throughout anything DC produces, from page to screen. If my DVR missed an episode or I had a power glitch, I would shed no tears, really.
