no snappy headline, just a fervent HELL YEAH.

At least there's good news on one comic-related front:

GREEN LANTERN animated movie on the way.



Acclaimed actor Christopher Meloni (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) fills the lead voice of Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern. Meloni is joined by fellow Emmy Award nominee Victor Garber (Milk, Alias) as the villainous Sinestro, Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica) as the voice of Boodikka, and Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs) as Kilowog.

Produced by animation legend Bruce Timm, Green Lantern: First Flight is helmed by heralded director Lauren Montgomery (Wonder Woman, Superman Doomsday) and scripted by four-time Emmy Award-winning writer Alan Burnett (The Batman).

If it's even close to as good as the upcoming WONDER WOMAN DVD (which is a must-watch for all; seriously, it's single-handedly made me a WW fan), we'll be more golden than the entire Sinestro Corps.

Holy shit, that's awesome! I hadn't heard a thing about it.

Elliot Stabler as Hal Jordan, huh? Hmm...

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Stabler. Freakshow. KELLER. Oh, Keller.

Hell, if they can get Lee Tergesen to play Kyle, the slashers on scans_daily will have a field day.

Ha! Beautiful.

That does sound cool, the Wonder Woman movie is going on my netflix selections.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I needta order it on Amazon.com. It's well worth the owning, methinks. Let me know what you think when you see it.

BUT IS THERE ANY GUY?

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Let's face it, no one mere DVD could contain the Guy-ness.

That said, he was pretty awesome in BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD. Watching Guy Gardner invading a family-friendly show tickled me Star-Sapphire-pink.

NO DEAL.

BTW, I saw this site and thought of you:

I dunno why, but I really did think of you.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

... wow, I don't know why either, but it makes me think of me too! hahaha

[bitemetechie.livejournal.com]

Madsen as Kilowog?

...oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes!

Also, hooray for dropping David Boreanaz. I approve heartily of this voice cast.

Poozers will never be able to listen to Steeler's Wheel the same way again.

I'm actually kinda sad that Nathan Fillion already did Steve Trevor in the WW animated movie, because that performance showed me he would have totally rocked as Hal.
