Yup! Just read that article and I'm pretty excited about it! I'm surprised they kept it under wraps for so long since it comes out in about 3 or 4 months. I mean, we knew about the WW animated a while in advance, but this one came outta nowhere.

Not so excited about the cast because I really don't recognize anyone, but I'll definitely nab this up when it comes out!

Hal Jordan is here to stay

I'm looking forward to this as well. I'll have to actually read up on who the cast is but I have confidence that DC will deliver a good quality product. I am also psyched to see the WW animated film. Nathan Fillion and Kerri Russel man *swoon*

I'm all up for getting to see the WW animated! I just wish that Boreanaz would've been chosen for Hal again like he was for New Frontier. I think he was great as an animated Jordan.

And I like how the GL live action has basically been fast tracked. Looks like things are turning up for Hal

I don't recall Boreanaz voice as GL's but I attribute that to just not being as enamored by New Frontier as everyone else.

Hell, when the guys were here for the Con, we hit up this comic shop next to the Empire State Building and I was just talking out loud and I said "I'm probably the only guy here who didn't like New Frontier."

And when I said that, the guy behind the counter turned his head to look at me so fast, it gave me whiplash. He then demanded a list of reasons why I didn't like NF.

But yes I agree, things are getting better for Hal though I haven't heard any new news about the live action GL film. Have you?

I'm excited about it, can't wait to see how they voice some of the other league if they get involved...

I just read the article and OMG Chris Meloni is Hal.

The reason why I can never look the same way at Christopher Meloni ever again is because he played a nazi, homosexual (sometimes cross dressing rapist) inmate on the HBO series Oz.

And yes I am aware that it is all fake and make believe. But there is one image of Christopher Meloni that is burned into my brain. It is of Christopher Meloni wearing a bra and panties while sitting in a swivel chair turning round and round

I've never seen Oz, so I'm not familiar with him at all. Sounds fun tho

As for the live action film, Hal is the GL for the movie, and a few actors have turned the role down according to aintitcool, including Ryan Gossling and Emile Hirsch, and apparently Nathan Fillion is already 'too old' for the role.
