Some reports have the animated series debuting in 2011. Others have it in 2012. WB still, incredibly can not get out of it's own way. It seems that they are SO eager to cut corners that they hire morons to do the simple work, such as scheduling. They have SO much potential but they would rather "paint over the cracks" in hopes that the foundation will remain intact. They have relied on Batman's broad shoulders for so long that the rest of the DCU characters suffers for it.

This is why Marvel continues to leave them in the dust.

If they do it right, GL should end up as big a hit for DC/WB as Iron Man is for Marvel. Unfortunately, I'm not exactly holding my breath here. WB has badly mangled their treatment of ALL their properties with the exception of Batman Begins/The Dark Knight. Casting is perfect though, Ryan Reynolds should be a credible Hal Jordan however I would rather have seen him play Barry Allen in The Flash. First Flight was a great intro and we'll see how much they include in the live action version.

GL and Iron Man were two of my fave comics back in the 60s growing up and if they do it right, this film could just be what DC/WB needs to shore up their lagging super hero franchises.

GL is a terrific character who deserves an animated TV show of his own.And a 2011 debut sure sounds wonderful to me if its accurate.One report stated that this series would premiere in 2012!

The Green Lantern that was created in 1940 is not Hal Jordan. Alan Scott was the first G.L. His character was retired in the early 1950's. With the success of the relaunch of the Flash in the mid '50's, DC dusted off several of their other old characters, gave them new uniforms, and new secret id's as well.
