When I first heard about this, I was uber excited. Then I did some research on it. It is to be released in 2011 and it’s going to be A CGI SHOW! Now that is a disappointment. All the superhero cartoons that came out in the 90’s and bore the subtitle “The Animated Series” were the best superhero cartoons of all time. Ex: X-Men: The Animated Series, Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, and Spider-Man: The Animated Series. Those were my favorite shows growing up. And now, they’re going to taint that subtitle and The Green Lantern by making a CGI show. The Green Lantern definitely deserves his own show, but a classic style one. Someone needs to get the guys at WB to make Green Lantern: The Animated Series a 2D show. Post a comment with your thoughts on the subject.

Over the next few years there are to be several superhero movie released. Green Lantern, Batman 3, Iron Man 3, Spider-Man(untitled reboot), Fantastic 4(untitled reboot), Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor, Superman: Man of Steel (written/produced by Christopher Nolan[Batman Trilogy]), The Avengers,  X-Men: First Class, Deadpool (maybe), X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2, X-Men Origins: Magneto, Dr. Strange, The Green Hornet, Ghost Rider 2,  and even Ant-man(Not sure about a movie about Ant-man, but it is going to be directed by the director of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World!)! That’s a lot of movies. The Green Hornet is coming out around Christmas this year, Thor next May, and Green Lantern in June, and I’m not too sure about the others. I’m pretty excited about most of these. The Green Lantern trailer will first be seen before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 which will be released on November 19, 2010, and I really don’t know anything about any of the other trailers.  Hope you’re as excited as I am.

I recently read the Green Lantern series, Blackest Night. It is relatively new and an amaza-zing comic series. In it, deceased characters from the DC Universe are risen from the grave by Nekron, The Black Hand, and his Black Rings. The Green Lantern Corps must work with with the six other corps to defeat the Black Hand. I highly recommend  this series to any comic fans- even if you aren’t a Green Lantern fan, because it has about every character from all of the generations of the DC Universe.

We now know that Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) is to play Hal Jordan (Green Lantern). But who is to play Cap? There have been several rumors about it. The rumors have included Mike Vogel (“She’s Out of My League”), Garrett Hedlund (“Tron Legacy”), Chris Evans (“Fantastic Four”), Scott Porter (“Friday Night Lights”), Chace Crawford (“Gossip Girl”) and Michael Cassidy (“Smallville”). John Krasinski (The Office), reportedly shot a screen test with some of the other Marvel Universe actors. The newest rumors of Cap actors are Ryan Philippe (Cruel Intentions) and Channing Tatum (Public Enemies). -The Geek Adonis-

This comic, the first comic to feature Batman is the current world record holder of the world’s most expensive comic. Originally ten cents, this comic was purchased at an auction for $1,075,500! The previous record was set just three days before by Action Comics #1, the first comic featuring Superman, when it sold for 1,000,000. I believe that this finally proves that Batman is much better than Superman.

As you may already know, several Marvel and DC movies are in the making. These movies include Captain America, Flash, Iron Man 2, Thor, Green Lantern, Spider-Man 4, possibly Avengers, more X-Men(including Magneto Origins), and even Justice League! There have been many rumors about the casting of the characters in these movies such as Chris Pine as Cap, Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern or Flash, etcetera. Post a comment if you think of anyone else who should play these parts in the upcoming movies.
