The Green Lantern DVD Movie Is Law & Order… in Space



If you bought the Wonder Woman DVD movie yesterday (and like the comments yesterday said, it’s actually pretty darned good), you got to see this sneak peek of the next installment of DC’s direct-to-DVD cartoon flicks, Green Lantern. For those that didn’t buy it, you can see it above. Fast-forward to 5:45 to get to the part where they discuss the new movie.

You don’t really get to see any animation, but the character designs look pretty cool, and it reveals that Law & Order: SVU‘s Chris Meloni will voice Hal Jordan (while Meloni plays a near insane cop on L&O, he also has comedy chops as evidenced by his pivotal can-fucking role in Wet Hot American Summer, so don’t worry about his performance being one-note) and Victor Garber — better known as Jennifer Garber’s badass dad on Alias — will be Sinestro. But the best news, to me at least, is that almost the entire movie will be set in space. I said before that I really hoped we wouldn’t get another Hal Jordan origin story, since that’s half of what The New Frontier was. The only Green Lantern I want to see is flying through space, kicking evil alien ass with a giant green boot he created with his mind.
