I’ll get to see this when it debuts at Comic-Con next month. Yay for me! The Green Lantern animated movie, is the fifth direct-to-DVD film from Warner Bros. and DC, and stars everyone’s favourite ring slinger Hal Jordan as he learns to become an interstellar peacekeeper and meets Sinestro, Kilowog, Boodikka, the Guardians and the rest of the gang. It looks like quite the space faring adventure. You can enter the Sweepstakes here (if you’re a U.S resident) for the chance to win a host of goodies, including a Playstation 3, a 40″ LCD HDTV and a bunch of other cool goodies. The Facebook page also has news updates, interviews, and more. The film debuts on single and double disc DVD and Blu-ray on July 28.
There’s an interesting (and well researched) article on 
The fabric of intergalactic justice is threatened – until Hal Jordan arrives for his initial mission – in the animated Green Lantern: First Flight, the fifth entry in the popular DVD series of DC Universe Animated Original PG-13 Movies. A co-production of Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation, the illuminated hero’s first-ever full-length animated film is set for release by Warner Home Video on July 28, 2009. Green Lantern: First Flight will be available as a special edition 2-disc version on DVD and Blu-RayTM Hi-Def .
At the panel, he talked about his exclusive work for DC Comics, mainly centered on the expanding mythology of Green Lantern and his current work on the Sinestro Corps off-shoot, Blackest Night, where he is designing thousands of different GL costumes from every sector of the galaxy. Yes, he’ll be a busy boy for a while. He also expanded on the recently announced, Flash: Rebirth mini, which he’ll be working on with writer Geoff Johns. It will be six issues and will focus on Barry Allen’s return to the DCU, after his noble sacrifice twenty years ago in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Similar to the Green Lantern: Rebirth series from a few years ago, (also written by Johns) which followed Hal Jordan’s return as the foremost GL, this mini will follow Barry as he integrates in to society. He then asked for the audience to respond to Barry’s return. So we did with a round of applause. Van Sciver seemed relieved. He also excitedly mentioned that the last issue of Rebirth will show us the Speed Force in a way that’s never been seen before. The words, “in real-time,” were used, so how he manages that is anyone’s guess. Should be great.
