So yeah this is Bruce Timms return to animated series

Based on the DC Comics super hero, Green Lantern: The Animated Series is an all-new CG animated action series from Warner Bros Animation. Bruce Timm and Sam Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman: The Brave and the Bold) are the executive producers. Giancarlo Volpe (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Avatar: The Last Airbender) is the producer, and Jim Krieg (Ben 10: Alien Swarm) is the producer/story editor. The voice cast for Green Lantern: The Animated Series includes Josh Keaton (Transformers Prime) as Hal Jordan, Jason Spisak (Young Justice) as Razer, Kevin Michael Richardson (Young Justice, ThunderCats) as Kilowog and Grey DeLisle (Batman: The Brave and the Bold) as Aya.

As Earth’s Green Lantern, Hal Jordan is used to being in dangerous situations — but he’s never faced anything like this! Set at the farthest reaches of deep space, Green Lantern: The Animated Series finds Hal on the Guardian Frontier, where he must face down an invasion by the Red Lantern Corps. Powered by pure rage, the evil Red Lanterns have sworn to destroy the Green Lantern Corps and everything they stand for. Dispatched on the experimental spacecraft The Interceptor, Hal is soon joined by an all-new group of heroes on a mission to protect Guardian Space — and the Green Lantern Corps itself!

DC Comics is also publishing a Green Lantern: The Animated Series comic title as a companion to the exciting CGI series.

This season is going to focus on the red lantern corp mostly

A born leader, Hal loves his role as a Green Lantern. He laughs in the face of danger, and rushes headfirst into action.

Gruff and tough, Kilowog is Hal's old drill sergeant. The loss of his homeworld has made Kilowog naturally cautious. He never acts without a plan.

The Guardians are an ancient race who established the Green Lantern Corps as galactic peacekeepers.

Atrocitus blames the Guardians for the devastation of his
home sector, the Forgotten Zone. He will stop at nothing to destroy the Green Lantern Corps.

"I am Atrocitus, Lord and Master of The Red Lantern Corps. I'm the one who will destroy the Guardians and all they stand for."

Zox is right-hand alien to Atrocitus, carrying out his supreme leader's commands with zeal.

Much like Harley quinn back in the batman Animated series, Razer is a character introduced/Only in the Green lantern Animated series. A former member of the brutal Red Lanterns, Razer is trying to atone for his past misdeeds. But first he'll have to tame his own savage nature. Originally from a home planet ravaged by warlords razer joined the local militia to gain power to protect the people he loved but was unsuccessful. His wife was called and in his rage a red lantern power ring contacted him. Razer gave him to his rage and promises that someone will pay. anyone.

Screen grabs from the first episode:

 

[joeyjoejoeshabadoo]

Had no idea Bruce Timm was involved with this, hype!

 

[yencid]

Had no idea Bruce Timm was involved with this, hype!

which is exactly why i had to make an OT for it.

 

[Seven Force]

Didn't know Timm was behind this. Will definitely give this a watch.

 

[Penguin]

Wow surprised how many people didn't know Timm was involved.

I mean you can just look at the character models. That's Trademark Timm-style.

a lot of people just thought that since its an animated series they were emulating his look.

 

[Error]

Can't wait. The reviews for the pilot have been very positive, so far.

welp, I'm convinced

 

[Nesotenso]

I know the DC guy at the presentation said that their competitors compelled them to go CG, but I don't see the benefit. You get inferior and stiff animation and it costs more. I hope Disney/Marvel don't go that route with their shows.

 

[Escape Goat]

I like most of the designs except for Hal. He looks pretty plain.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I like most of the designs except for Hal. He looks pretty plain.

Hal is pretty much just an average Joe...kinda.

Either way, I'd love to watch this, but I'll be at work till 10p.

 

[Bit-Bit]

Artstyle totally reminds me of the The Incredibles.

I should clarify. The Incredibles totally reminds me of Justice League Animated.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Saturday is nice. Ponies, lanterns, kung fu animals, and whatnot!

 

[yencid]

i hope this becomes popular enough so that they can up the budget. Get some star wars the clone wars quality up in this bitch.

also these are my favorite shots

 

[Slayven]

Or at least 3rd season Beast Wars. It's amazing that only Lucas and the Canadians are good at weekly CGI.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I still can't believe Atrocitus looks different.

 

[Error]

just hoping the action scenes are creative with neat constructs from the lanterns.

with GL you can get really creative in the fight scenes, but then most animated shows just show GL shooting green lasers, very boring.

 

[Slayven]

I still can't believe Atrocitus looks different.

I guess he wasn't evil enough. I do hope it isn't just all lantern on lantern fights. Colored pewpew fights will only be interesting slightly longer then it is in comics.

And they better not fuck up Lafleeze, only thing good to happen in the book since Hal and the Corp came back.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Why no love Kyle DC? No one likes that fucking boy scout Hal.

 

[yencid]

Why no love Kyle DC? No one likes that fucking boy scout Hal.

come on this is only the start. Whos to say you wont see him?

 

[Boss Doggie]

And they better not fuck up Lafleeze, only thing good to happen in the book since Hal and the Corp came back.

Maybe he becomes fucked up and become the monster we all love later in the show?

Also, I wonder if this is tied to the DCAU

 

[Tizoc]

Hope it's OK to ask this but will this be streamed on a website or such? I don't live in the US so I won't be able to watch it when it airs.
I ask, because CN has put up some of their shows on their websites to be watched streamed.

 

[Mrs. Manky]

What, no Rage Kitty?

 

[G-Fex]

Oh wait Timm is doing this???? Man, I hope GL doesn't do just laser blasts with his ring

Bummer.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Why no love Kyle DC? No one likes that fucking boy scout Hal.

yes because Kyle sure was a wellspring of charisma.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

I'm excited to have a GL property that I can share with my 7-year-old. The comics/movie/animated movies are all too rough.

 

[WillyFive]

I'll have to watch it then.

The visuals look pretty lame compared to the Clone Wars though.

 

[markatisu]

yes because Kyle sure was a wellspring of charisma.

You realize that Hal Jordan has the personality of a block of wood right?

 

[TreIII]

Ahh, yes. I was interested in this as it is, but Bruce Timm just confirms this will get my watch.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

You realize that Hal Jordan has the personality of a block of wood right?

Only when done wrong.

 

[Error]

I thought Bruce Timm being involved in this was common knowledge :/

 

[TheKaeptain]

Only when done wrong.

Which has been his entire existence.

 

[yencid]

I thought Bruce Timm being involved in this was common knowledge :/

I realized not enough people knew when the last thread wasnt moving.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Which has been his entire existence.

and Kyle has what? cliches and hipsterdom behind him. I kid , I kid. bt seriously Hal is better.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

Is this canon to Timm Diniverse?

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

Which has been his entire existence.

My mistake, I didn't realize we were playing "middle school."

What's next, Sega vs Nintendo, or shall we argue about professional wrestlers?

 

[TheKaeptain]

My mistake, I didn't realize we were playing "middle school."

What's next, Sega vs Nintendo, or shall we argue about professional wrestlers?

Why would we argue? Rock and Bret Hart all that matter.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Is this canon to Timm Diniverse?

Nope, since Hal Jordan was never Green Lateran in the DCAU
Well, except for this

 

[AgentOtaku]

HYYYPE!!!!!!

 

[Boss Doggie]

Nope, since Hal Jordan was never Green Lateran in the DCAU
Well, except for this

tbqh they can fit this series as something happening prior to JL.

 

[Aske]

Hal is the Ryu of the GL Corps. Nothing in particular makes him stand out; yet he's forever awesome.

Can't wait to watch this.

 

[yencid]

2 more hours

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Hal is definitely the best human Green Lantern. Guy is the strong nerd everyone hates. Jon Stewart is the teacher in high school that always talked about how you couldn't do stuff like this in the real world. Kyle just wants to watch Edward Scissorhands all the time. The best GL is the planet.

 

[yencid]

TWO MINUTES

TURN IN FUCKERS

 

[TheKaeptain]

One minute.

 

[yencid]

its on now

 

[WedgeX]

GL by Timm?

Even though Kyle is my fav, this could be awesome.

And Carol looks like she belongs in a Pixar flick.

 

[Poyunch]

I can't stand the look of this show.

 

[TreIII]

Kilowog~

 

[TheKaeptain]

My kid hasn't taken his eyes off the screen.
