Green Lantern: TAS trailer

Finally a trailer of the new Green Lantern: The Animated Series cartoon.



Yes, the animation is CGI. If this is your first time hearing of this, then cool. But if you frequent comic book news sites, or even animation news sites, and you're surprised? Learn 2 Read, please.

We're only seeing glimpses of the characters with tiny seven and thirty second trailers like this, but the creators for this need to bring more than their A Game. Now that Green Lantern has joined both Spider-Man 3 and Fantastic Four as one of the most polarizing comic book movies of all time, Green Lantern is dangerously teetering on the edge of being the next "Batman", and needing to take an eight year rest before someone picks up and does something solid with the concept again. (Only Green Lantern doesn't have a fraction of the recognition Batman has, so it would likely be even longer.)

With Bruce Timm (Batman: TAS) on the project, normally that would be assurance that this concept would work, but with a look that I've only ever supported being used in ReBoot, I'm concerned, to say the least. Hopefully people enjoy it more than Young Justice, or at least as much.

Green Lantern is my favorite character DC. Don't mess this up (even more).

But last night I read Superman: Birthright and Superman: Secret Origin, and the more I read of each one, the more I realize that I only think Man of Steel is "fine" when viewed in a vacuum.  When specifically compared to Mark Waid (or even Geoff Johns') comics, Man of Steel goes from "yeah, whatever" to embarrassing.  How could anyone have looked at that film and thought it could be a decent representation of Superman?    The best parts of it are the beginning where they show Kryptonian society, and the fight scenes (like I said, DBZ).   It's boring-ass muted colors and a Superman film that's trying so hard to get across a bunch of lazy metaphors about Chri

Bottom of the Pile: Apr. 8, 2015

Astro City As usual, Kurt Busiek's Astro City is creatively solid--following a superhero who's made his home on an alien planet, and has to learn to accept when it's time to hand the job over to the next generation.  It's almost the opposite of what happened with Crackerjack and Quarrel.  That said: I've been a denizen of the interwebs for nearly two decades now, and this still might be a strong contender for grossest sexual advance ever.
